Meet Sally Flower, Sustainable Home & Decluttering Expert

Sally Flower is a sustainable home and decluttering expert, and the first Australian trained by Marie Kondo. She helps Australians let go of clutter without the landfill, bringing a new way of thinking to the world of tidying. She is also a mother, a yogi and a big nature lover.

Her biggest motivation is climate change. Alongside running Home Sanctuary, Sally works in sustainable finance, and she is passionate about changing the way we buy, keeping her own environmental footprint light and helping others do the same.

Sally’s career began in finance. While working on Wall St, she met Marie Kondo in New York City, and spent eight years as a Master KonMari Method® coach across Melbourne and Sydney. Almost ten years after they met, she handed in her official badge.

Then came the waste. Weekend after weekend, Sally drove her clients’ discarded items to op shops and began to see how much of it still ended up in landfill. She worried that the “Joy of Throwing Away” was making the problem worse. After completing her Masters of Environment at the University of Melbourne in 2021, she shifted Home Sanctuary from tidying to sustainable home support, and in 2025 handed in her official KonMari Method® badge.

Today, through one-on-one consulting, keynotes and partnerships, Sally helps Australians create meaningful lives in nurturing homes with less.

Why I do this



Consumerism is a modern-day epidemic. Almost everything we buy will one day end up in landfill. My motivation is to change the way we buy: to help people make purposeful choices and live mindfully with a light environmental footprint.

My beliefs

I believe small changes at home can make a big difference for our wellbeing and the planet.

I believe letting go of things shouldn’t mean sending them to landfill.

I believe the home should be an oasis, free from the pressures of the outside world. A place to nourish our bodies with seasonal meals, free from unnecessary waste and harmful chemicals.

I believe it should be a place to connect with our partners, children, and ourselves, free from distraction and endless to-do lists. A place to display what we treasure, surrounded by only what we need and love.
