My Guiding Principles:
-
Mess is morally neutral- The state of your home isn't a reflection of your worth. Having a messy home doesn't make you a bad, gross, or lazy person.
-
Relief is revolutionary - A regulated nervous system starts at home. When you feel better, you can show up better in all areas of your life.
-
Laziness does not exist - What some call laziness is often the result of someone struggling with energy, motivation, or ability in ways others can’t see. Shame is not an effective motivator-- support is.
-
Care tasks require resources, not just willpower - Being unable to keep up isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign that something else is consuming your time, energy, or capacity.
-
Practical beats perfect, every time - I believe in prioritizing functionality over aesthetics or arbitrary rules about how things "should" be done. If it works for you, that is enough.
-
Everyone deserves support- A clean, livable home shouldn’t be a luxury. Everyone deserves that support, regardless of their situation or budget.
-
It is never too late to ask for help - and I'm here when you're ready.
My values are at the heart of everything I do
I believe that mainstream ideas about cleanliness, mess, and care tasks are often shaped by ableist and neurotypical standards, and are rooted in unrealistic expectations placed on women, marginalized communities, and caregivers. I choose to approach things differently, with compassion, flexibility, and respect for each person’s lived experience. Cleaning is care, and care looks different for everybody.
