Meet Josie- your Organization Coach!
Hiee 👋 I’m Josie! 💖
I live in Edmonton with my wonderful partner and our two cats, Curtis, and Quito. Outside of organizing, you'll usually find me out running along the trails, listening to a new podcast, repainting vintage ceramic tchotchkes, or hunting for hidden treasures at local thrift stores!
With more than 18 years of customer service experience, I've always found the greatest fulfillment in helping people through life's challenges. Today, I get to combine that passion with professional organizing to help clients create homes that feel peaceful, functional, and easier to enjoy.
Why I started Peace of Mind
Peace of Mind was inspired by two important experiences in my life.
The first was helping my grandma Aleatha downsize into a care home. Supporting her through the emotional and practical decisions that come with such a major life transition showed me how overwhelming these moments can feel- and how valuable compassionate support truly is.
The second reason was not as “feel-good” as the first.
For years, I struggled with my own home while unknowingly living with ADHD. My space became overwhelming, and I constantly felt behind. I certainly never would have guessed that I would become a professional home organizer! 😅
But alas, I hit a point where I had to create new organizing strategies, and systems which matched my life and brain! This put me down a path where I saw a positive impact on my space- and my mind. Now, I have a strong appreciation for the power of working with our habits, and how we instinctively operate as humans- instead of against them.
After embarking on my own home organization journey from a very distant starting point- it brings me great joy to support others on their own unique paths toward it.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
No Judgement
Within every home, there are real humans with real stories. Whether you've fallen behind because of a busy season, health challenges, ADHD, grief, or simply just “life”, I’m not here to criticize you. I’m here to show you compassion.
We Work Together
I'm not here to take over your home, or tell you what to do!
When we work one-on-one I will listen, ask questions, and make recommendations for what feels like the best fit for you- and keep things grooving depending on what you need most in the moment.
Sustainability Matters
Whenever possible, we'll get creative in reusing storage solutions you already own before buying something new.
I also work with trusted Edmonton charities, collectors, and local vendors to help unwanted belongings find new homes instead of ending up in a landfill.
Progress Over Perfection
Reaching home organization isn't a race.
Some decisions take seconds, while others take time. We'll celebrate every bit of progress together, because creating lasting change is more important than finishing quickly.
A Few Fun Facts About Me
I share my home with two very fluffy, and opinionated cats! 🐈
Vintage items (and their stories) have my heart! And honestly, the weirder it is, the better. 🤡
Puns are my love language. Laughing is my usual state of being 🤭
I have a vintage booth at Capital City Vintage, where I sell funky clothing and decor! 🪞
If I could eat one food all day, every day- it would be ice cream. 🍦
My Mission
Peace of Mind was started with my belief that everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own home, and reach their goals- no matter where they’re starting from.
Whether we're decluttering one closet, packing you up before a move, or inventorying your treasured collection- my goal is always the same:
To help you make room for what matters most to you. 🩷
There is nothing more rewarding for me than seeing a client’s worries lift once they’re seeing the progress in their homes and they begin to feel lighter.

Whether you’re looking for professional home organizing, home decluttering, packing or unpacking support while moving, or collection downsizing & inventorying in Edmonton- I’d love to help. 😊
