A Little About Us
There are many instances in my life that I realized the importance of being organized such as having children and creating a work life balance, helping my daughter move in and out of college dorms and houses. Several of my friends asked for my opinion on design and furniture layout as well as organizing strategies. What I found is that being organized simply makes life run smoothly.
The thought of helping others with their challenges is what made me pursue starting Space to Embrace. I love to see the immediate changes to the spaces and to impact my clients lives in a positive way. With the busy lives that everyone leads, I’m the helping hand for families to stay afloat in their lives at home and making it a space that they love and enjoy.
I am a very kind and compassionate person. I was taught by my parents at a young age to treat others the way you would want to be treated. Getting to know each family and then working together to create a better flow of the home brings me joy. I take a “no judgment” approach to each job. I will not make you feel bad about your space. We are not perfect people and neither are our homes, and I understand where you are coming from. My end goal is to help you simplify and organize your space and make it a desirable place to be in.

“I was drawn to Space to Embrace because I love organizing and helping others, but also because of the way Julie treats her clients with such care and compassion. It isn’t just a job to her, it’s about listening and getting to know each person and determining their needs, and then walking them through what can be an overwhelming process.
