WHAT KINDS OF ORGANIZING PROJECTS DO YOU DO?

As a home organizer the majority of my services occur in the home, this includes attics and garages. However, my services extend to organize your office and or classroom.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE YOUR ORGANIZING PROCESS/APPROACH (CONSULTING, COACHING, HANDS-ON, TEAM ORGANIZING, SEMINARS/WORKSHOPS, ETC.) AND DESCRIBE A TYPICAL WORKING SESSION?

I am a very hands on home organizer and I will be working alongside you during the entire process. I utilize the KonMari™ method in my tidy sessions. When using this method, we tidy by category and not by location. We will start off with a phone consultation, followed by a virtual consultation. During the virtual consultation, I will take a tour of your home and at that time, we’ll determine which package suits your needs. After the consultation, I will send an email to book the date of your first session. Once confirmed, I will send the contract and payment information.

At the first session, we begin with the clothing category. I will first ask that you choose your favorite item within the category and we will use that item as a way to determine the peak of what I call your “Joy Meter.”

I specialize in home organization, office organization, guest speaking and of course folding.

I work alone but, I have been hired by other organizers as a subcontractor for larger homes.

The short answer is no. You can create a wish list if you’d like but we will not be able to identify what we need to shop for until after the decluttering process.

DO YOU RECOMMEND AND/OR SHOP FOR ORGANIZING PRODUCTS AND IF SO HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE FOR YOUR SHOPPING TIME? 

Yes, I will source all organizing products for you. If you would like me to shop for the items on your behalf. The benefits of me shopping for you is that I get discounts for places like The Container Store and you don’t have to worry about whether or not you picked up the right products.

HOW DO YOU WORK WITH CLIENTS WHO HAVE A LOT OF SENTIMENTAL ATTACHMENTS TO THINGS?

Sentimental items are the last category of the tidying/organizing process. After going through clothes, books, paper and miscellaneous items the hope is that you have master the technique of determining what sparks joy. However, there may be moments where you may need to take breaks or reserve certain items to the very end. As your home organizer, I will hold space for you and adapt to your needs.

When discarding, I will hold the bag or box for you but I will not dispose of any items without your explicit permission. Nor will I tell you that must discard an item. I will, guide you toward a decision on what to keep, so there aren’t any regrets later.
