About

Hi! My name is Jennifer Karls. I have a husband, five kids, a cat, and foster puppies in the NW suburbs of Chicago. Over the years my house has been a very busy place with lots of stuff in it. My roles have included overlapping combinations of public school teacher; homeschool mom; entrepreneur; Community Bible Study teaching director; board member or chair of many school and civic booster organizations and events, and, now, cancer survivor. Even though I am a naturally systematic person with lots of organizational and instructional experience, over the years I still struggled with managing clutter, and mess, and daily living that sometimes devolved into chaos. 

Train Your Space is the result of 25 years of experience running a busy household. I have developed strategies to set up and maintain an organized home for different organizing styles. The people in my home thrive when their space works for them, and my passion is to help other people find that same sense of peace and joy in their own home, even in the midst of challenges.

I have a Professional Organizing Certificate and am a Dana K White Trained Decluttering Coach. However, I never stop trying to learn more so I can help you better. My experience includes working with neurodiversity, managing a home through chronic illness, and frequent moves. Whatever your challenge, I am passionate about trying to find a solution together! I have trained children, trained leaders, even trained puppies! Now I want to help you train your space to work for you!
