I’m the owner of Simple Joy With Ann, and the creator of the Dooley Method. I’m glad you found me!

I've been right where you are, caught in a never-ending cycle of cleaning and organizing, frequently losing my patience with my family, and even blaming them for triggering my feelings of failure and insecurity.

I grew up in a disorganized environment with borderline hoarder parents. I found organizing to be a coping mechanism in a chaotic and stressful environment. When I had my own family, I tried my best, but the conflicts over clutter and other parenting challenges left me feeling embarrassed and frustrated.

In 2016, I discovered the KonMari Method® which was life-changing. It helped me dig deep to understand why things piled up in the first place and showed me how to let go with gratitude.

The following year I started Simple Joy with Ann, which I felt like I had found my calling. And after working with many families that shared the same struggles I had. I knew there was a gap that needed to be bridged between messy homes and the strain that puts on families. Combining tidying with my experience and education in positive parenting, the Dooley Method™ was born.

I'm proud to be able to help families move from chaos to serenity. My clients and my own journey are living proof that transformation is not only possible but immensely rewarding.

Thank you for showing up here today; what you are going through is temporary. I'm excited and hopeful for what's to come, and I would be honored to be a part of that journey.
