Greetings
................
Thanks for taking the time to get to know who I am a bit more. It's important in my opinion that you know who I am and what I feel passionate about. This way you will know if I'm a good fit for you. I've got a unique flavor...it's not for everyone. :)
I spent the first half of my life on the East Coast, growing up in New Hampshire and spending summers on the coast of Maine.
Migrating to Boulder, Colorado in 1993, I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Pathology at the University of Colorado. Once attained, I traded it in for my next life path, a residential cleaning company. Colette’s Cleaning Service kicked into high gear in 1998, teaching me the in’s and out’s of owning, organizing and managing a business that grew to 13 lovely employees through 2002. That year I married a lovely fella and decided it was time to travel and see the world. I released all my worldly possessions, setting off to the Caribbean with a one-way ticket, a new husband, along with tent and backpacks. These travels took me far and wide…
*sailing down the Windward Caribbean Islands
*studying at Kripalu, a yoga retreat center in western Massachusetts
*living and consulting at a Yoga Retreat Center on the Big Island of Hawai’i for over a year
*exploring Alaska for about a month
…in what turned out to be almost a five-year ADVENTURE of living nomadically and a 17-year marriage. Also, quite an adventure!
For the last 20 years I've been back in Boulder after my travels and have owned my Professional Organizing company; Room To Room Organizing. I've had the amazing opportunity to be inside people's homes and ultimately their lives since being in someone's home is, by default, an intimate experience. It's within these past 20 years that I've seen firsthand the negative ramifications to a person's well-being when their home is stressing them out, usually due to their own clutter or their partner's. I've worked with many couples directly helping them decrease their inventory and also utilizing their homes in the most efficient manner possible, with a host of organizing remedies. I've written a book about the experiences with all these couples that will hopefully be released into the wild by the end of 2023.
During this 20 year time frame, I also got divorced, started to really unravel my own patterns of codependency and serial monogamy, and learned that I absolutely adored living alone. The thing that I was afraid of most (not consciously) for the past 40 years. Go fucking figure!?!!?
During the last 4 years, I also studied with a lovely woman named Jaiya and was certified in her Erotic Blueprint Coaching techniques. I've always been sex-positive due to my Mom's openness and the fact that I recognized early on that I'm joyfully, smack dab in the middle of the sexuality spectrum. My life has been full of love with both genders, and it continues to offer me more understanding and compassion for the for the couples I work with.
I share all this detail with you because it's a large part of my own journey of finding autonomy and boundaries that help shape my life to EXACTLY how I want it to be. I'm promoting you do the same within your home and relationship, as life is so much more fun when it's not in turmoil or conflict.
