Marie Kondo Wants to Personally Tidy Up All Your Junk

Marie Kondo, the best-selling author, TIME 100 honoree and master of organization, now wants to personally train you in the KonMari method. For those who have read her books and now want something more, Kondo is offering you the chance to make your skills more official by becoming a KonMari Consultant.

Becoming a trained KonMari Consultant is a six-step process that starts by attending a seminar in New York or San Francisco led by Kondo herself. It costs $1,500 to attend. Potential consultants must then organize their own homes and then perform practice “tidying sessions” with clients. There is also an online test and a $500 certification fee, according to Kondo’s site.

Once certified, consultants are supposed help others learn how to tidy up their homes—and lives—the Marie Kondo way.

In a New York Times Magazine profile on Kondo, a writer described attending one of Kondo’s organizing seminars. Her consulting program is part of Kondo’s latest move to expand her business. “My dream is to organize the world,” she said at the talk.

Many women who attended the seminar shared their own experiences with the KonMari method. “It’s a powerful message for women that you should be surrounded by things that make you happy,” a woman named Diana said of Kondo’s philosophy, which involves removing all objects from your life that do not bring you joy. Another woman shared that the method helped her declutter her life of a bad boyfriend.

Between her lecture tours and public appearances—she has recently appeared on The Ellen Show and Rachael—Kondo admits that her own schedule is challenging.

However, in her piece for Motto on journaling, Kondo explained that she handles her hectic schedule by organizing her thoughts similarly to how she organizes her physical surroundings. “By focusing on positive solutions, I can forget or at least minimize these pessimistic emotions,” she wrote.
