From clutter to calm -

creating spaces and systems that work for your real life.

I help busy people in San Diego simplify their homes and routines, creating more time, space and peace of mind.

Life can feel like a never-ending to-do list, and sometimes your home becomes one more thing demanding your attention. That’s where I come in. I help you turn cluttered rooms into peaceful spaces, create rhythms that make daily life easier, and handle the little (and big) projects you just don’t have time for. From organizing your garage so you can park the car again, to setting up a home office, to finding the right person to fix that leaky faucet — I’m here to make your home work for you, so you can breathe easier and enjoy more of your life.

How I Help

  • Stack of books next to a glass vase holding two pink roses, with a framed black and white photo on a white surface.

    Home Organization

    From quick a quick office refresh, to a whole garage organization, I can help create organizational systems the whole family can get behind.

  • A weekly planner open on a desk with a black pen resting on it. A pink and cream rose in a small, round glass vase is placed next to the planner.

    Routines and Systems

    Falling behind at home? I can help to create systems and routines to help the whole family breathe easier.

  • A person standing barefoot in a garage, installing or adjusting a bike wall mount for two mountain bikes, with tools and bike accessories on the floor.

    Project Support

    Overwhelmed by a home project or repair? I help plan the steps, find the best resources and guide you to a solution that works.

About Me

Hello!  I'm Colby, and I'm the heart behind Balance & Bloom Living.
 

I know firsthand how easy it is to feel behind and overwhelmed with a busy household.  Over time I've discovered simple, practical ways to bring more calm, order and joy into family life - and I love helping other families do the same.  My goal is to take the overwhelm off your plate, provide practical tools and create spaces that feel lighter, fresher, and more you.  

When I'm not working with families, you can usually find me curled up with a good book, out mountain biking with my family, or tending my garden and watching things bloom.
