Alyssa Allegretti lives in a very well organized apartment with her two very messy children. She has been a “transplant” in the mountains of Western North Carolina for nearly 20 years, and currently calls Burnsville, NC home.

She first became interested in home organization and house magic as a way to cope with stress and support herself during times of declining mental and physical health, acute stay-at-home mom boredom, and chronic spiritual hunger. Since then, she has deepened her practice to include anti-perfectionism and self compassion (i.e. mess is morally neutral). An eternal student, Alyssa is committed to learning how to learn and has blossomed as an educator and writer over the past decade.

Referred to by her clients and peers as “the philosopher housewife,” the “organizer for organizer’s” and an “animist home organizer,” Alyssa’s background in sociology, cultural anthropology, psychology, grounded spirituality, and alternative living offers her unique insight into the all ways socio-cultural context impacts family life.

She is in the informational and/or personal influence and lineage of KC Davis, Marie Kondo, Darius Carresquillo, Tadaaki Hozumi (no longer in association), Cassandra Aarssen, Mari Ohta, Esther Perel, John Gottman, Circle of Security Parenting, and bunch of mommy vloggers on YouTube.
