Hi, my name is Maria Jose Garcia, and my name is Samantha Kristofferson. And together we are cofounders of kW professional organizers. We've been always passionate about organization, minimalism and self care, and how to implement all those things in your life to create the life that you want to live. And in 2012, we decided to start our company. And since then we have been helping hundreds of clients achieve whatever cause they have. We're so passionate about organization minimalism and self care.

We wrote a hardcover book about it this year. And not only was that a big, huge undertaking for us, but we really, we really learned a lot about ourselves, what we've been doing in the past years and how we apply minimalism to our lives, and how we see other people apply it to their lives. And that's what's important is that it's different for everybody. And our experiences is that we both traveled in different parts of the world with just a backpack. So when you do that, you really start to learn what's important because you have to carry it. Yeah.

And it's also very, very interesting to be exposed to so many Different ways of living. I myself was in India I was one year. And then I did in the past with Lanka, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand. So every country is different lifestyles are completely different. What's important for someone else is not the same as important for someone else. And it's just so interesting to kind of embrace all that, and then be able to apply what you like in your life.

And then at least be aware that there are always options to leave how you like to be. And for the record, he's originally from Barcelona, Spain. I'm originally from from a small town for us, Ontario and Canada. And I was someone who likes to consume and I did a lot of like mindless consuming, I had collections of things that I would just go out and I would buy them and I didn't really even understand why I bought them other than I had a passion for, you know, collecting DVDs. Later on this period of my life when I when I gave up all of my places to live. I let go all of a lot of those things, but I carried with As I started this new kind of minimalist journey, I carry debt from my university degree, I carried a lot of baggage in regards to being able to give up alcohol, because I was an alcoholic.

And now I have seven years sober. So there's just a lot of different things but minimal amount of minimalism applies to is not just the physical things in your life, it applies to a lot of the stuff that we hold inside of ourselves. It affects our mental health, and we have been learning about all of those things and helping people learn about their own applications of minimalism and that's why we think you will really enjoy this course. And and we share also where we gain inspiration of minimalism from others. So we in by no means are the be all end all about minimalism. But there are a lot of people out there who are doing great things and creating great content so that you can learn more about what minimalism means to you.

Yeah, we just want some FSH, we just want to share with you everything that we have learned after helping hundreds of people and our own experiences, too. How we use minimalism to create the life that we wanted to live. And I can tell you that five years ago, we, we just had the goal, we want to make this happen. And then this was our passion. And we didn't even know that this was an industry. And today, five years later, we are living our dream.

We are doing what we love. People are paying us for that. And we are creating content for you, because it's our passion. And that's what that's what we're here for. Yeah. So creating online courses is something that we love, and that's why we are creating this one.

So join us on the inside. We hope you've learned a little bit more about us. If you do want to read more about us, you can always go to our website and read our about us stories. Yeah, we should have blog posts every week. We have a YouTube channel with a lot of videos, and basically just have a big insight to your time.
