Meet the Business Owner

Kat T.

Business Owner

Kat started out life as a cluttered packrat, with collections a plenty and a frazzled brain, but between moving 10 times in 8 years, spending more time organizing her cubicle than actually working, and watching far too many reruns of TLC’s «Clean Sweep» and Style’s «Clean House», she learned how to maximize space in small apartments and offices. That lead to googling «home organizing», realizing her passion could be her career and starting The Simplified Life in 2007. A newlywed, aspiring minimalist, she is passionate about passing on the skills she learned and helping you realize a calm and clutter-​free home and life once and for all.

She is a proud member of NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) and partners with several fabulous organizers to serve the Bay Area and Lodi. We can’t wait to work with you!

I;m sleeping so good (no waking up thinking about the computer room mess) since Kat visited meand we tackled a very messy and overloaded computer room. With Kat’s skills we eliminated a folding table and one rolling file cabinet. The computer counter got cleared and has stayed that way so far-​3 weeks or more. Files on the counter were found a spot inside cabinets and drawers. Life is so easy now. It’s a pleasure to put «stuff» away. Clutter is eliminated. She made it easy to toss out age old papers, combine office supplies and more. She’s worth a million.

Kat is fantastic. She came into our home office and sat down with my husband and watched the way he worked. Asked him lots of questions and then they got to work. When I came home later that day he was so happy. His office was more organized and functional. Kat gave him tips and tricks to keep it organized. He enjoyed the experience so much working with Kat that I called her too. She helped me in my closet, and many other small crowded spaces. My husband has even hired her to help us clean out the basement and storage areas. WOOHOO! Kat is the best. And as everyone has said, she places no judgement. Just comes in and helps you get the job done.

Kar also came to me through living social-​. She’s smart, and gracious and gave me confidence that preparing my house to be a rental after I’ve lived in it for 30+ years (!) is doable and will be easier than I would think.
I’m hiring her again to help me go through papers– a dreaded task though I’m sure with her help will be less stressful.

Kat is amazing. She has put me on a path now of organizational bliss. She is very easy to work with and aims to please. At no time was she judgmental of the closet or project we were going to organize. I highly recommend.

LOVED Kat’s professional yet personable manner. It’s difficult to expose our closet and dirty garages for the first time but Kat makes you feel at ease and works fast. I was worried it would take all day but we conquered the job in a matter of 1 hour. Thank you for making the world a little more orderly Kat!

Kat has this amazing, bubbly, friendly personality. She aims to please, and is huge on customer service. She’s down to earth! Kat knows life transition personally, so she easily relates to her clients who need help getting organized after life shuffles them around. It’s like working with a friend who can help guide you through your own mess and turn the chaos into freedom. HIGHLY recommend!

I am thankful for the understanding the stuff does not define us, it is us who place value in it. Kat reichmuth came into my life, through living social deal that I encounter, and left her ‘foot print.’ As many of you know we are family of four in a 650sq home. Many, I mean many, have asked us why we wouldn’t want to or haven’t already move to a bigger place. I have to tell you that our family have learned so much from the land of «enough.» We have learned to asked ourselves, many times, questions that can be applied to non-​material things «When was the last time we used this stuff? How did it get there? Do we need it anymore? What’s the purpose for this and are we using it that way?» I began to realize that what we were doing helps us get into the mindset of «pruning.»
By the end of the first hour I said to her «where have you been all my life?!» She simple replied, 7 miles north :) I booked for an additional 3 hour session afterwards.
Kat not only organized our apartment and gave us space, more importantly she put our tangible home life back on track. Can you think back to a time when you were thankful you called a professional, and wished you didn’t wait so long?
She left me with this:
«spend only what you have, buy only what you need, keep only what brings you joy and leave only a small «footprint.»

Kat is an amazing organizer! She is quick, smart, and lots of common sense! She organized my VERY unorganized basement in 2 hours and that with just calling for me once, that is just amazing! She knows her her job very well and I will use her again. She really help me clear my clutter and now I feel better! Thank you Kat:)

This review has been a long time coming. I can’t tell you how wonderful Kat is, as a person and a professional organizer. I’ve requested her help at least 3 separate times. She helped me organize my garage so I could park my car in there — and I still can! She helped me organize my linen closet to where I smile every time I see it. She helped me organize my full wall bookshelf.
The great thing is that once she helps you organize an area, it stays organized — it’s a miracle I could not achieve on my own. Kat really listens to what you say (and even reads between the lines of what you might not be saying) to help you organize your home the way that it works for you.
I learned from her that one doesn’t need to buy fancy and expensive organization «stuff» to be organized. She really worked with what I had — granted, my husband and I had put up shelving and purchased plastic bins previously. Still, having those items is not what helped us be organized — it was Kat’s expertise and skill!
It is amazing how much one can done when Kat is helping. Areas that I looked at for months (years) and could not bring myself to organize, get organized and beautiful in a matter of hours, sometimes just minutes. Plus, she is a real pleasure to be around. She exudes positive energy and joy.
I too first met Kat through LivingSocial but she is the person I go to and recommend to everyone for professional organizing services.
Please do yourself a favor and call Kat if you’ve been meaning to get organized. It is money well spent. Not to be too cheeky, but it will change your life.

I really enjoyed working with Kat. I found her through a LivingSocial deal and I liked her ideas & work ethic so much that I hired her on the spot for additional hours. Seriously, she and I organized my pantry in about 7 – 10 minutes. I never thought that was possible.) Well, we finished the follow-​up work yesterday (well, one of the projects… sigh). No judgment, and she has an amazing ability to take one look at something, and know how it should be organized. I’m definitely using her again when we tackle the garage… ugh.
Yesterday we cleared out about 15 boxes of stuff in 3 hours… stuff that had been sitting in a corner of a room for, oh, 1.5 years. Yup. And let’s be honest — I wouldn’t have unpacked them for another 1.5 years unless I had someone to «babysit» me through it, because by the time I get around to it, I’m flippin’ tired and I want to spend my vacation days… not cleaning my house. Now I’m down to sorting the remaining 10% of that 15+ box pileup, and it’s completely manageable.
Hire Kat. She’s awesome.

I met Kat through a Living Social deal and so happy I did. I was first smitten by her very cool website and then even more impressed upon meeting her. She did a very helpful overview of my house, and I was left with a clear plan of to do’s. It’s exactly what I needed to jump start my house and turn it into the house I want.
I can’t wait to check off my list and have Kat come back again. She has a vision that I love and she is so easy to relate to… she gets how life is busy so why not make our lives easier with a more functioning place to live. Love that! She’s going to come back and help me with my girls’ bedrooms and the study. I can’t wait!
I highly recommend!

I found Kat thanks to a Living Social deal. To say that the time she spent helping with organizing a very messy, disorganized space was helpful would be a huge understatement. She is a joy to spend time with and manages to turn a dreary task into an empowering activity. Those of you who dread having company over, you only need to hire Kat and you will fear no more.
I am looking forward to spending more time with you, Kat. Thank you — seriously. You are a superstar.

Kat, the owner of The Simplified Life, worked with me a couple years ago when she was located in Southern California and she was amazing!
She’s a master at helping you sort through old stuff and getting important stuff and keep sakes organized and neatly stored. I know it might sound silly, but it is incredibly helpful to have someone help you decide what you need/​must keep and what you can probably get rid of and not miss. I mean, yeah if it has been in a box unused, untouched for more than 6 months odds are it is time to give it to goodwill, and sometimes you need that motivation to get it done.
What I appreciated the most was the organizational skills and tips she instills in you throughout the process so that it’s easier for you to maintain the nicely organized and clutter free home she left you with.
I highly recommend Kat and The Simplified Life; she’s professional and nice, but direct and assertive when she needs to be!
