In January of 2014, after a 12-year career in marketing and event planning, Angela left the corporate world to become a Licensed Massage Therapist. Around this same time, she read \u201cThe Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide\u201d by Francine Jay and was blown away by the philosophy of living with less and the freedom and peace that come with a minimalist lifestyle. She began implementing the book\u2019s recommendations and, much to her surprise, decluttering was actually fun \u2013 exhilarating even! Friends noticed the changes and soon she was getting requests for help with their homes. Angela found so much joy in sharing what I learned that she began helping others experience the liberating joy of having a clutter-free, organized life.
