About
I help others because I understand the frustration...
I felt like I could never get ahead.
I felt like I was always running but never getting caught up.
I thought I'd never be organized enough to be truly happy.
I just about had a heart attack if someone stopped by unannounced.
I thought being "messy" was just how I was going to be forever -
and I wasn't ok with that.
About TidyWild
TidyWild is a holistic organizing service that helps women and their families transform their homes, habits and lives through compassionate, personalized decluttering and organization.
TidyWild was founded in 2014 by Spring Courtright, a professional outdoor guide turned passionate professional organizer.
She trained with Marie Kondo, the author of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, BUT...
After feeling guilty most of her life for being naturally "messy"and a busy creative with about a million hobbies (cooking, gardening, writing, painting, hiking, canoeing, standup paddle boarding...)
Spring believes truly "getting organized" can be a fun journey that still allows room for the messiness of being human with zero guilt.
TidyWild goes beyond surface-level tidying to address emotional, societal, habitual, and psychological aspects of clutter.
We lovingly guide clients to become organized people with homes they love, not just have organized houses. ​
We believe real organization isn't about perfection or rigid rules, but about creating sustainable systems that honor your unique brain and body, calm your nervous system, and support spaces where deep rest, joy and nourishment can happen.
Every session is rooted in honesty, compassion, non-judgment, and the belief that you are worthy of a space that brings deep comfort and happiness...
We believe lasting transformation is possible at every stage of life, and everyone deserves a home they feel good in.
Hi! I'm Spring Courtright
I've been a professional organizer since 2014 and a virtual declutter coach since COVID.
​
I trained with Marie Kondo, but I also have MANY other tried-and-true techniques that last a lifetime.
I spent years overcoming personal challenges with clutter, anxiety and depression...
And I'm VERY happy to tell you: I now have a deep feeling of peace in my home, mind, and life...
My house is completely organized - and when it gets messy, I can quickly and easily declutter and tidy.
I'm passionate about helping others create this, too!
Here is My Journey
After I moved in with my husband I'd just about have a heart attack if someone came over unannounced.
I felt overwhelmed and ashamed that I couldn't "figure it out" to declutter and get organized on my own.​
Just getting out the door was a huge hassle, and conversations around clutter with my new husband were seriously stressed.
I felt stupid, like there must be something wrong with me.
I felt anxious, stressed, and depressed so often it felt normal.
I felt like a failure as a wife, daughter, friend... sometimes even as a human.
​
Then I decided I was DONE...
That's When My Whole Life Changed
I knew I didn't want to live like this. I didn't want to feel I was always living less than my potential.
I didn't want to keep pushing people away because I was embarrassed about my house.
I decided to do what it takes to make my home and mind refuges instead of torture chambers.
I decided it was time to figure this out and take the time to start living fully.
I hired a coach to help me learn to manage my mind, and I trained with Marie Kondo to manage my stuff. ​​
​
I decided not to give up until I felt good in my home.
I spent weekends on the floor of my kitchen. I cried in my garage (multiple times). I had difficult conversations with my husband (and myself). I kept going, no matter what.
​
Now my house is my home, my sanctuary, my place of peace.
I still make piles, I still cover every countertop, I still wake up some mornings and think WHAT the *&#& HAPPENED HERE?
But now I can pick it up quickly (and I do). I don't beat myself up. I ENJOY MY HOME.
​​
And I help others not have to suffer and do it alone.
I'm not a Unicorn...
I just decided to do what it takes to feel as good as I can possibly feel.
​
Now on my "bad" days - my home is still a refuge from the storm.
Hi! I'm Ashley
I'm TidyWild's Program Coordinator and Home Organizer, and while I love creating beautiful, organized spaces, what truly fuels me is connecting with people and supporting them as they discover their own path to clarity.
​
Completing the KonMari method in my own home in 2018 was transformative—not just for my space, but for my entire mindset.
Since then, I've had the joy of guiding friends and family through their organizing journeys during life transitions, from downsizing to fresh starts.
​
My seven years at Heifer International taught me to bring clarity to complex situations and build systems that help people thrive.
More recently, my role as a full-time caregiver deepened my understanding of how our physical environments directly impact mental well-being.
This reinforced my belief that creating order is about so much more than "tidying up"—it's about making room for what truly matters.
My art history background gives me an eye for balance and beauty, while my years practicing voluntary simplicity taught me that less truly can be more.
I believe organized spaces should reflect the people who live in them, not rigid rules or Pinterest perfection..
​
When I'm not organizing with TidyWild clients, you'll find me gardening, adventuring with my husband and kids, or cooking in my kitchen (where the spices are alphabetized—it just makes sense!).
I'm excited to support you on your journey to a space that works for your life, with creativity, understanding, and maybe a few laughs along the way.
Now we're on a mission!
To help as many people as possible in this one long-short life.
And to help people live happy, healthy, joyful lives in their homes.
To do this, I help clear clutter from homes, habits, thoughts, and minds...
I believe everyone deserves kindness, freedom, hope, and happiness.
I believe everyone deserves support to live the best life possible.

Including you.
