About me
My house was tidy, yet I had far too much.
I’m Katiuska González.
I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, and I have lived in the Netherlands for the past 33 years. I have also lived in several other countries and, by now, I have moved more than fourteen times.
I know what it feels like to start over. To pack your life into boxes, say goodbye to one place and create a sense of home somewhere new.
But let me be honest: I used to be a huge consumer. I loved beautiful things and bought far more than I actually needed. In my home in Spain, I even had a custom walk-in closet built just for my shoes.
My home was organized. Everything had its place and it looked beautiful. But I was living in a 2,500 m² house. There was enough space to hide everything behind doors and inside cupboards.
For a long time, I simply did not see how much I actually owned. My home looked rather “zen.”
The space concealed the excess.
Then, during one of my moves, I was confronted with the reality: almost 400 boxes.
Only when everything came out of the cupboards and stood in front of me did I realize how much I had accumulated over the years.
I looked at all those boxes and, for the first time, asked myself:
Why do I own so much?
At that moment, I did not do anything with that question yet.
But it was my first real aha moment.
What I had seen as abundance had also become a burden.
Without realizing it, possessions had also become a way for me to express economic status.
Being able to buy a lot made me feel privileged. A large house and full cupboards seemed to be proof that life was going well.
I had confused material abundance with true abundance.
After my divorce, my life changed dramatically.
What followed was a highly conflictual divorce involving more than fourteen legal proceedings over a period of twelve years.
I share this because I now understand that this period forced me, again and again, to look at what I wanted to take with me into the next chapter of my life.
I went from living large to living small and had to ask myself new questions:
What do I truly need?
What still belongs in my life?
And what am I holding on to only because it once represented something?
Letting go of possessions became a way of making space for the woman I was becoming.
From having more to choosing consciously
Through all my moves, I have learned that a home is not defined by its size or by the number of things inside it.
I believe you can feel at home almost anywhere in the world when you create a place where you genuinely enjoy being every day — a home that feels calm and supports you.
When you come home after a busy day to a place where you can truly unwind, it also becomes easier to adjust to a new country, a new phase of life or even a new version of yourself.
Your home is the place from which you begin again every single day.
Then my experience found a professional direction
After completing my training as a real estate agent, I decided to care for my mother full-time. She was living with dementia.
That period taught me a great deal about memories, attachment, letting go and what ultimately proves to be truly valuable.
Around that same time, I discovered Marie Kondo’s series on Netflix.
I watched one episode after another.
I did not only see homes changing. I saw what happened to people when they began consciously choosing what deserved to stay in their lives.
That is where so many pieces of my own story came together:
the 400 boxes, my many moves, my divorce, caring for my mother and my own process of letting go.
I decided to train professionally through the Marie Kondo Academy and turned decluttering and organizing into my profession.
Today, I help other women regain a sense of control.
Through online communities, courses, training programs, workshops and personal guidance, I have now supported around 800 women.
I am also a speaker and co-author of the book Mastering Legacy, which I contributed to alongside Ismael Cala and other authors.
My work is not only based on what I have learned.
It is also built on what I have lived through myself and what I have witnessed in my work with my clients.
I know what it feels like when your home may still look perfectly fine from the outside, while inside, you begin to lose your sense of clarity and control.
You work, care for others, organize, manage and keep everything running — while the possessions around you continue to accumulate.
For me, organizing is not the final goal.
I do not want you to spend your life constantly tidying up.
Order is not the destination.
For me, it is a tool that helps you live more lightly.
Fewer possessions demanding your attention.
Fewer unfinished decisions taking up mental space.
Less weight from the things that no longer belong in your life.
And more calm, clarity and energy for your relationships, your work, your family, your hobbies and yourself.
I do not create perfect homes, because perfection creates pressure — and that is the opposite of what I want to achieve when I work with you.
Do you recognize yourself in my story?
Maybe you do not need to try harder.
Maybe you simply need someone who can stand beside you without judgment and help you create clarity again.
Shall we look together at what would work best for you?
