Devin VonderHaar

creator of the modern minimalist

I’ve always loved the grounding + calming feeling of creating an intentional space.

In 2016 I moved to Portland from the midwest, and was forced into minimalism cold turkey. We did a massive downsize from a 3 bedroom home to a one bedroom apartment. We had two humans, two dogs, and way too much stuff, and we had to figure out how to make it all work. I discovered minimalism on a working interview and my life was forever changed. Gradually I shifted the products I was purchasing, the companies I supported, and my relationship to my possessions. I became more intentional with my home, my health, my relationships, and I became debt free! Now I want to spread my love with you.

My holistic approach combines elements of minimalist philosophy, the KonMari Method™, sustainable design, energy healing and my personal brand of intuitive counseling to create calm in your home. I believe that the energy of our homes has a drastic impact on our day to day lives, and becoming more intentional with the things we surround ourselves with is an important step to find out who we are. Living a life focused on joy leads to less stress, more empowerment, focus and calm. When we have less things, we can live life more fully. As I always say, experiences over things.

The modern minimalist was created in 2019, after over a decade working in client homes. TMM is trained and certified as a Reiki Master, a former KonMari Method master, and educated in clinical mental health counseling.

When I’m not working with clients, I love renovating our 70s ranch, hiking in the pacific northwest, watching true crime + spending time with my husband Jess + our rescue pitties Sampson + Sienna.
