About Me

Alyssa Allegretti lives in a very well organized apartment with her two very messy children. She has been a “transplant” in the mountains of Western North Carolina for over 15 years, and currently resides in Burnsville, NC.

She first became interested in minimalism, organization, and house magic as a way to cope with stress and support herself during times of declining mental and physical health. Since then, she has deepened her practice to include anti-perfectionism and self compassion (i.e. mess is morally neutral).

Her work is in the informational-experiential lineage and peerage of multidisciplinary areas of study, including but not at all limited to the illuminating perspectives of Marie Kondo, KC Davis, John Gottman, David Schnarch, Esther Perel, and a bunch of mommy vloggers on YouTube.

Alyssa is referred to by her clients and friends as “the philosopher housewife,” the “organizer for organizer’s” and an “animist home organizer.” Her background in sociology, anthropology, grounded spirituality, and alternative living gives her unique insight into the all ways socio-cultural context impacts family life.

She knows that houses and material objects have their own spirit, and that the tone we bring to our relationships with things can transform a space beyond the visible eye.

When she is not embarking on adventures in organizing, she is writing, chipping away at passion projects, and nurturing her relationships with the land and humans she loves.
