I am an experienced housecleaner,  declutterer, and organizer with an emphasis on nonjudgment.

I am Julia, a native Chicagoan with the intention of becoming a holistic psychotherapist (LCSW). During this time of completing my degree and supervision, I have increasingly come to appreciate professional housework and decluttering/organizing as an extension of mental health. I specialize in compassionate, nonjudgmental cleaning, organizing, and decluttering, and also value serving those within overlapping marginalized communities, such as LGBTQ+ and disabled people. 

I live on the northside of the city. Growing up, I lived in a hoarding environment and, as an adult, have thoroughly learned from the ground up how to clean and organize, as well as how to design an intentional and pleasing living space. I appreciate being able to apply these skills to professional work for others. My living space often reflects my internal world and I have learned to experience cleaning and organizing as self-care. 

I live with (mostly invisible) disabilities that impact my daily life. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, learning new things, singing, drawing, painting, thrift shopping/treasure hunting, dancing, houseplants, gardening, TV, films, and foraging. In addition to professional cleaning, I previously worked as a massage therapist, Special Education Classroom Assistant, farmhand, digital editor, handmade craft vendor, and many other things! I have trained in a wide range of skills including Nonviolent Communication, Compassionate Listening, Restorative Justice Peace Circle Leadership, meditation, and permaculture/small-scale organic farming.
