ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Heather Aardema.
I'm the founder of the Institute for Holistic Decluttering (IFHD) and School of Living Lighter. I'm a Board Certified and Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and a Certified Decluttering Coach. After 20 years in advertising — building the very FOMO that fills our homes — I left corporate, survived a toxic-mold illness, and rebuilt my life and business from a camper in my driveway. I've lived on both sides of clutter, and I built IFHD because lasting change starts with the body.
