What our clients are saying...

More than just decluttering (but she assists with that too) We worked on systems to help keep things tidy for the future too. Helped with mindset on what I will need and use and love vs taking up space. Made physical and mental space for the things that matter more to me. I’ve loved working with Heidi!

- Stephanie Johnson

Heidi is absolutely wonderful!! She takes time to talk through and learn how you use the space and things in the space to ensure the organized outcome is customized to fit your needs. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and offers flexibility in scheduling/breaking the project up. Highly recommend!

- Ellie

I had a wonderful experience with Heidi Sawyer and Makes Sense Home Organizing. She is my daughter in law, and I have watched over the years as she has exhibited her wonderful organization skills and ability to keep her own home clear of clutter. So it is no surprise that her company is receiving great reviews. Heidi helped my husband and I with our recent move from a home we owned and lived in for 49 years. I was busy that day directing the movers as they unloaded their truck with our belongings. Heidi and my other daughter in law LouAnn had teamed up and did an amazing job of unpacking and organizing the packed boxes into easy to find places in my new kitchen, laundry room and bedrooms. They found perfect places for everything and then Heidi promptly labeled things so that it was easy for me to find after everyone was gone. I am sure if you are feeling overwhelmed thinking about how to declutter and organize your home, you will be happy and grateful to receive some help from Heidi Sawyer.

- Bonnie Sawyer

Heidi takes organizing and decluttering to the next level! I thought I was doing a fairly good job of decluttering and letting go of unnecessary stuff, but after watching what she does, I realize there is much more to do and it is an ongoing process. Heidi guides you through the discomfort and awkwardness of making decisions about what to toss, keep, or donate. If you are procrastinating, overwhelmed, indecisive and putting it all off she can help you change that. For me, much of it was just feeling guilty about getting rid of things that were inherited, or gifted, but not really wanted, or needed. It can be an emotional journey for sure. Also, so much excess holiday decorations! How much do you really need anyway? Heidi helped me to take a critical look at things that no longer serve me and to clear space for what matters. It feels so good to finally be moving forward and it has now become a process I can jump into anytime. Seasonal decluttering and organizing is now my routine. Fall is the perfect time to shake off what's worth shedding and enjoy what's worth keeping!

Meet Heidi

I'm Heidi Sawyer, the founder and lead organizer at Makes Sense.

My passion for home organization and beautiful design has been with me since childhood. I also co-own a residential painting company (Sawyer's Painting) here in Spokane, Washington, and run a coaching business with my husband and fellow coach, Ryan. With over seven years as a mindset and neuro coach with IHP Coaching, I've empowered many women to overcome mental and emotional barriers to live their desired lives.

As a mother, I understand the importance of creating systems that everyone in the household can easily follow to maintain a tidy and organized space. Home organization is more than just stylish containers; it involves decluttering, breaking through emotional attachments to our belongings, and learning to make confident, empowered decisions. Starting with your physical space can create more room for what truly matters.

I am dedicated to assisting women in creating a peaceful and manageable home, allowing them to cherish motherhood and pursue their passions. In addition to organizational services, I continue to coach women on deeper mental and emotional tools at IHP Coaching. Let's work together to transform your home and life

"I enjoy helping my clients downsize and transition to a new chapter of their story."
