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.
Kelli Lee is a passionate organizer who was born and raised in Murfreesboro, TN. She and her husband, Devin, are raising their two boys just minutes down the road from where she grew up. Kelli Lee has always had a passion for organizing and helping others, so when she joined the Suddenly Simple team, she truly felt as though she landed her dream job! As someone who used to keep everything, she enjoys helping clients find the value in what is really important and what they can let go of to help them simplify their life. She loves being able to use her passion of organizing to help transform the lives of others. When she’s not organizing, you can find her spending time with her boys and her family by the water somewhere.
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.
Emily is a native Kansan who made the move to Nashville in 2016 to pursue her music dreams. She met her husband, Holden, and settled down to raise their two blessings: a son and daughter. Born with a knack for organization, Emily knew that she had a gift. Order and tidiness bring her great joy in her own home and she longs to share that passion with others. Emily is so excited to be a member of the Suddenly Simple team and to work alongside other talented women. When she is not organizing, Emily enjoys spending time with her family, being outdoors, songwriting, and cheering on her Kansas City Chiefs!
Morgan was born and raised in Murfreesboro. She has been in love with designing new spaces and keeping them organized and orderly for as long as she can remember!
