Yes, each sessions starts with a 30 minute free consultation. This consultation will help us get an understanding of whether we are a well match for each other. It is also a time for me to get basic information about the project, such as your needs and expectations.

The process starts with a free initial consultation. During the consultation, I will request images and/or videos of the space in question. I will get to know your needs, goals, and expectations. We will also discuss what is working as well as what is not working in the space. We will schedule an in-person meeting during this consultation. At the in-person meeting, we will walk the space to be organized. We will go over the notes from the initial consultation to ensure all information is accurate. I will take measurements during the in-person meeting as well. After the in-person meeting, I will get preliminary diagrams and plans in place to discuss with you further. We will have a virtual meeting to discuss and get on the same page to make any changes necessary to the preliminary plans. We will then schedule a time to start the organizing process. The organizing process starts with sorting and categorizing the items in the space. Once sorted and categorized, we will be in the decision phase. At this point you will decide if the items per category are needed, wanted or are ready to be passed on (trash/donation). When only the desired items are remaining, we will work on finding an ideal and most functional home for each of these items. Once the desired items have homes, we will work on a plan to help you maintain the newly designed space that works with your lifestyle and basic tendencies. During our last in-person session, after we have gone through the organizing process, I will schedule check-in sessions. These will be to see how the newly designed space is working for you. This will allow us to make any tweaks necessary. Here are the suggested check-in session intervals- 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year.

The organizing process is most effective with your involvement and input. I can do my best work by knowing what works for you and what doesn't work for you in your space. It is also essential that you decide what items are to keep and which are ready to be passed on. However, the order in which we do the process and how much involvement you have are open for discussion. In the case that your involvement is minimal to none, I will do my best with the information present. However, in the organizing profession, this setup can require maintenance sessions as follow-up. Please reach out for more details.

This is totally dependent on you. Upon concluding our organizing sessions, i will leave you with maintenance guidelines. I will also schedule check-in sessions at different time intervals. This way you can try to keep up the space yourself. However, if you are in the general category where maintenance of the space is hard for you, due to busy schedules or any other factors, I would be happy to do maintenance sessions with you. This would be where I would come periodically and help reset the space as needed.

It depends. I would recommend we start the work on your specific space. Once the involved parties see the ease of use, functionality and efficiency in your space, they will more than likely be inspired to do the same with their spaces. For commonly used spaces, we can go through the declutter and organizing process. After which we can use labels and color coding to help the rest of the involved parties use the space optimally.

Services are charged by the hour. Please reach out for the current hourly rate. Travel time of up to 5 miles from our location is included in the above fee. Additional travel time will be billed at our current standard hourly rate.

The amount of time it will take depends on a couple of things: how much stuff you would like to have organized and how quickly you can make decisions about what to keep and what to let go of. Please keep in mind that every situation is different. My goal is to help the process move along as efficiently as possible.

Yes. Once we have gone through the organizing and energizing process, if for any reason, you find it hard to keep the space upto its functionality and set up, I would be happy to help maintain it. I can come, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and/or annually to do a re-energize session and get items back to their homes.

Life happens and things need to be rescheduled. I ask all my clients to contact me of any changes to our appointments as soon as they know. However, I require the cancellation to be made at least 24 hours in advance of our appointment. This can help with availability and scheduling services with other clients.

Discounts are offered for educators and U.S. armed forces. Please reach out to find out more details.

I work with a no-judgement philosophy. Everyone has their unique circumstances and situations. I am not there to judge why you got where you got. For me, each client provides an opportunity for me to learn and help the best I can. Also, the fact that you are reaching out for help with organizing and energizing your space, says a lot about you. You have taken the first courageous step, so I would love to help get you to the end goal.

Yes, light cleaning needed to organize a space is included. Deep cleaning is not part of the services offered.

No. In my experience, before I am involved, most clients have already tried their best to do some type of organizing. So depending on your goals and budget, ideally I would like to start by using your existing storage solutions to create a better system. However, if you wish to start from scratch , i would be happy to give you a list of products to purchase or purchase them for you while keeping your budget in mind as we go through the organizing process together.
