About Kim

I’m Kimberly Savel-Turek, Founder of Room to Breathe Professional Organizing. I help people create calmer, more functional spaces by letting go of what no longer serves them and creating systems that make everyday life easier.

My passion is especially helping seniors and families navigate life transitions, downsizing, moves, and the process of creating a home that truly works for them. I believe organizing is about much more than decluttering—it’s about making room for what matters most.

When I’m not organizing, I’m usually spending time with my family, enjoying the outdoors, or finding my own ways to create a little more room to breathe.
