Meet your organizer
Julie Starke
How does one become a Professional Organizer?
Here’s my story.
When I was young, my father established a grocery store in the Annandale area. Even before I could reach the register, I started my work experience as a cashier. The work ethic instilled in me during those childhood years remains deeply ingrained to this day.
In my adult career, I worked as a Registered Dietitian for 35 years. This role allowed me to develop quick and healthy recipes, conduct cooking classes and establish and lead a Diabetes Support Group. The diversity of this setting brought me immense joy and fulfillment.
I have always found satisfaction in assisting others with decluttering and organizing, witnessing the relief and contentment they experience as a result.
In 2019, I established Keys to Living Light and dedicated myself to helping clients organize their space and craft a beautiful and functional home.
My extensive knowledge and experience in organizing and home staging enable me to help you achieve your goals and beyond. As a professional organizer, I specialize in decluttering your home and curating a space that aligns with your lifestyle. I have helped many clients feel a sense of peace and calm in their homes.
When I’m not Organizing…
In my free time, I love to spend time with my husband Ron and my 8 grandchildren. To stay fit for organizing and keeping up with my grandchildren, I enjoy exercise and spending time outdoors!
Working with a Professional Organizer for the first time can feel vulnerable. Please know that when we work together, your privacy, space and story will be treated with the utmost respect and kindness.
Please reach out if you are interested in working together! I offer a complimentary initial consultation.
