Leigh Achenbach, Owner
As the owner of Suddenly Simple, I am so excited to share my passion of order and simplicity with Middle Tennessee. I love to put things in order. People that know me would describe me as a planner, an efficiency fanatic, a minimalist, a suitcase packing perfectionist, and perpetual organizer. An organized space is my happy place, and nothing brings me greater joy than making a client's space stylishly functional!
Our Move to LA
I was born and raised in Murfreesboro, Tennessee with no plans to ever leave. And in 2014 I met the perfect guy, my Joey! Everyone says your life changes when you get married, but I never knew how true that would be for me. Three weeks in to marriage, my husband was stationed with the Air Force in Los Angeles. Suddenly, I found myself 2,000 miles away from everything and everyone I had ever known, starting a brave new adventure with my best friend. Although I was terrified, this new phase of my life was exactly what I never knew I needed.
Years of Experience
It took a couple of months, but I was determined to step outside of my comfort zone to discover my passion. After taking multiple personality and career tests online, one thing kept being brought to my attention...ORGANIZING! My first thought was, "I wish that was a career! How awesome would that be?" Well, turns out...it's really a thing! And more importantly, it's MY thing! Suddenly, I felt like I had been preparing for this career my whole life without even knowing. In my two years in LA I gained experience working for many high-end clients in Los Angeles. We are now back and settled in Middle Tennessee and I couldn't be more excited to serve my hometown!
I Want YOU To Be My Next Client!
I genuinely love everything about this job! Making spaces both functional and stylish, relieving stress for those overwhelmed by clutter, and bringing peace of mind and focus back to what is important brings me so much joy. This job allows me to create relationships with amazing people and use my God-given talents to help bring order to their lives. As a professional organizer, I understand that every client's needs are unique. That is why I strive to treat each client like they are my only client, giving them my full attention and support. One of my favorite things to hear from my clients is that they truly appreciate my calm demeanor, and how it helps relieve a potentially stressful situation.
If you are tired of the clutter and are ready for a fresh start, let me show you how to see your space in a whole new way! Please fill out our contact form and I will connect with you.

Our Team
Ann joined the Suddenly Simple team in the fall of 2018. She is known among the team members for her folding and cleaning abilities. But if you asked her, she would be most proud of her role as "team mom"! In fact, she happens to be the proud mother of Suddenly Simple owner, Leigh Achenbach. She enjoys meeting our clients and helping them with their organizing needs. Prior to Suddenly Simple, Ann was employed as an Administrative Aide for the City of Murfreesboro at Old Fort Golf Course for 30 years. She and her husband, Tracy, reside in Murfreesboro. They enjoy traveling and spending time with Leigh and her husband Joey, their son Chad and his wife Phoebe, and their three grandsons Clark, Boone, and Oliver.
Barbara has a heart to serve, and her parents tell her she has been planning and organizing since she was no age at all. She truly finds it fun! Her favorite part of serving with Suddenly Simple is seeing the smile on our clients' faces. Refreshed spaces bring her joy, and she loves seeing that joy experienced by others. Barbara and her husband, Robert, live in Murfreesboro. They have three sons, ranging in age from elementary school to college. When she’s not tackling organizational projects of her own, you’ll find her spending time with family or traveling any chance she gets.
Tamara is a native middle Tennessean who has had a passion for organizing since she was young. Her love of stylish simplicity combined with her motto of less is more, is what drives her to help create esthetic and stress free spaces for you. She enjoys building a relationship with clients to design areas that are uniquely functional for their specific needs. When she isn’t helping at Suddenly Simple, she is spending her time being a mom to her two very active and busy children, as well as a wife to her husband BJ.
Lois has always had a knack for organizing. She was an elementary teacher for 10 years and loved creating systems and a clutter-free environment for optimal learning. She left the classroom in 2012 to pursue her dreams as an entrepreneur working alongside her husband, Laramy. Lois loves the purging process and helping clients feel comfortable. She believes there’s so much joy in seeing a project through to completion! When she’s not organizing, you can find her on a lacrosse or softball field cheering on her kids or playing with her Frenchies.
Amy finds it a joy to be serving with the Suddenly Simple team. She enjoys every minute of helping others and bringing spaces to life. Having traveled all around the world for many years, home has become a precious sanctuary to her. She has somehow always found herself back in her hometown, and she loves the community in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Her favorite activities include home edits, spending time outside, serving others, being with family, watching sports, and, of course, organizing!
