Hi, Iβm Laura
You deserve a home that feels calm, beautiful, and functionalβa sanctuary, not a source of stress.
At The Sorted Nest, I help you reclaim your space so it works for your real life. Whether youβre navigating family chaos, preparing to downsize, or simply ready to fall back in love with your home, Iβm here to make the process judgement-free with plenty of heart.
Your home should work for you. Letβs get sorted!
My Approach
Personalized
I listen closely and build trust. Then, I design systems that fit your lifestyle, habits and goals. We aim for personalized care over Pinterest-perfect outcomes (unless you want those of course!)
Judgement-free
I meet you where you are. Whether youβre overwhelmed, busy, or just donβt know where to start, youβll never feel ashamed or behind. Iβll be your number one cheerleader.
Sustainable
I work with what you have, reuse whenever possible, and recommend thoughtful products with lasting function when needed.
Past Transformations
Why The Sorted Nest?
I bring a unique blend of experience, creativity, and compassion to every project:
Coach & Educator
With a background in teaching and leadership coaching, I know how to walk alongside you with clarity, care, and genuine encouragement. I'm here to help you move forwardβstep by step, without judgment.
Detail-Oriented
My years as an event planner trained me to notice the little things that make a big difference. I love spotting smart, simple tweaks that bring ease and flow into your everyday life.
A Lifelong Love of Organizing
Iβve been rearranging spaces since I was old enough to drag furniture around my roomβand yes, I was once voted Most Likely to Be the Next Martha Stewart (true story!). Organizing has always been a source of joy for me, and I love sharing that spark with others.
Systems with Soul
I design organizing systems that donβt just workβthey feel good, too. Thoughtful, sustainable, and tailored to you, so your home reflects who you are and supports how you live.
Compassionate & Real
I get itβlife is busy and beautifully messy (especially with my two small kids in tow!). You donβt have to have it all together. Iβm here to bring a little calm to the chaos, with kindness, humour, and a clear, doable plan.
Former Dancer
With over 20 years in dance, teaching, and choreography, rhythm and flow are part of who I am. Now, I choreograph spaces instead of stagesβeach one thoughtfully tailored to your life, so it moves beautifully and feels just right for your everyday rhythm.
βYou donβt have to be perfect to be organized.β

1. Connect
Weβll start with a complimentary 30-minute phone or video call to chat about your goals, challenges, and whatβs currently feeling overwhelming. If it feels like a good fit, weβll book your first in-home session during the call.2. First Session & In-Home Assessment (3 hours)
Iβll visit your space to get a clear understanding of your needs, style, and daily routines. Iβll take measurements, assess whatβs working (and whatβs not), and note any recommended products (product costs are separate from service fees). Together, weβll create a personalized plan that fits your timeline, comfort level, and visionβwhether you're looking for a quick refresh or a full transformation. If time permits, weβll also begin some of the hands-on sorting work during this session, giving you a head start toward a calmer, more organized space.3. Letβs Start Sorting
Weβll begin hands-on organizing with intentionβediting, sorting, donating, and letting go of what no longer serves you. A typical session lasts 3β4 hours and lays the foundation for systems that truly support your life. Everyoneβs pace is different: some projects move quickly, while others take more time depending on your energy, availability, and comfort level. After weβve worked together, I can continue with independent sessions (3β6 hours), keeping you in the loop with regular check-ins and updates. Prefer to keep working side by side? Thatβs great too! Either way, your space will start to feel lighter, calmer, and more functional.4. Savour the Results
