If you have not worked with a professional organizer before you will be pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable the process is!
We initially connect on a call, video chat, or a quick home or office visit and go over what your needs and expectations are.
Do you need help organizing, de-cluttering, or downsizing? Are you moving homes, relocating your office, or in need of an entire estate clean-out? Maybe you just need a ‘reset’ and some professional support as you process through physical roadblocks, looking to create flow and space in your environment.
Once we determine where your session will be focused I'll recommend items that you may need to have on hand and any 'prep' work that you may need to do before we begin.
For the most part, I prefer you don't do any cleaning/picking-up before our first meeting. It’s beneficial to see how your space is being utilized so I can implement the most effective strategies to reach your goals.
On the day of your session, we start as soon as I walk in the door!
Organizing
The truth is not everyone has the tools or experience to effectively organize their living or work environment. Organizing is a skill that takes repetitive practice to master and become comfortable with.
When someone (you) reaches out for professional support they are usually past the point of being able to tackle an organization project on their own.
We will work together to find proper places for your items and organize your space functionally and realistically in a way that fits your and your family’s lifestyle.
To efficiently organize, you need to have systems in place to maintain organization daily. I make sure that the systems we create become a foundation for continuous success.
De-cluttering
Piles of papers, cupboards full of mismatched Tupperware, linen closets busting with an abundance of bedding and towels, dressers packed full with so many clothes the drawers don’t shut, and garages with boxes and boxes of who-knows-what! Sound familiar?
All of the extra ‘stuff’ that you are hoarding and ignoring absorbs energy from your environment and turns it stagnant, causing a block in the flow of energy throughout your space, eventually affecting your well-being and motivation.
I am extremely respectful of personal items that trigger memories and experiences that do not want to be forgotten, and I don’t believe that a home should be void of all tchotchkes and memorabilia, but a lot of time we keep things around because we honestly don’t know the best way to purge and de-clutter without feeling like we are ‘wasting’ or ‘disrespecting’ gifts and sentimental treasures. Guilt is a huge motivator of avoidance!
I have extensive experience working with clients teaching positive mindset shifts that allow for gratitude, grace, and respect for tangible items while honoring your need for a clutter-free, energy-flowing environment.
Downsizing
I’m not a fan of fads and trends but the Minimalist Movement I can get behind 100%!
As a whole, we are a population of consumers. We are heavily influenced by the media and marketed to 24/7 and we tend to commit to purchases with very little thought other than immediate gratification. This mindless consumerism leads to owning more than we need. And where does all that stuff end up? In drawers, and boxes, and on kitchen counters, and dining tables.
The truth of the matter is that you don't need half of the stuff you own. Whether you are downsizing your entire home or office and moving, or just looking to live in a more functional environment, we’ll work together processing through items that don’t serve a purpose in your space.
