Work with Ann

“I feel like I can finally breathe.”

That’s what I often hear from the parents who worked with me, the same parents who once:

  • Tried to organize by themselves but the clutter kept coming back

  • Tried to involve the family but ended up more frustrated

  • Tried using rewards but spent more time negotiating

  • Tried using consequences but created more power struggle

If that sounds like you, I applaud the effort you've already put in. It takes a lot to keep trying. And I'm glad you found me. I genuinely love this work and the families I get to do it with. It’s an honor to be part of bringing relief to a home that needs it.

I take a lot of pride in offering gentle, judgment-free guidance to help your family organize together at a pace that fits your needs, and include your kids in ways that build them up.

This is the heart of Simple Joy with Ann, my home organizing business — and the foundation of the Dooley Method: organizing with your children, not for them, through connection first.


What to expect when we work together:

  • Guidance and support without judgment

  • Children are included in ways that build confidence, not overwhelm

  • Systems that make sense to your family

  • A focus on teaching skills, not forcing compliance

  • Collaborative, thoughtful work with long-term results in mind

  • My commitment to help your family strengthen connection through home organizing

The Dooley Method was developed with children ages 3–12 in mind. Whether they let go easily or hold on to everything, the earlier families begin, the more naturally these habits take root.
