What to look for in a Professional Organizer

​

Choosing to work with an organizing consultant is a deep commitment to yourself, to simplifying your life, and to getting organized.  It's a significant investment in yourself and your ability to get the most out of life.   Professional organizers don’t just provide a set of hands to assist you in rearranging stuff. We provide expertise, recommendations, and ideas on new ways of doing things. In the end, it must be your decision on which new systems and tools to put in place, but your commitment to listen to new ideas and try out new ways of doing things is what will allow you to achieve your goals and experience the rewards! To get long lasting results, you want to choose an organizer who listens to your needs and gives you options to choose from that are designed to work with your style. There is never just one right way to do things.

 

When looking for a professional organizer in your area, look for someone who has demonstrated commitment to their own learning and professional development by joining a professional association. Professional associations provide training and guidance to help organizers give you the best possible service.

"Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself.  If you are unhappy with anything - whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it.  Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out."

–  Tina Turner

Despite what you have seen on TV, organizing a home or work space does not happen overnight.  The success of a clutter free space depends on you being ready and willing to make timely decisions, look at your emotional connection to the "stuff" in your life, completing "homework assignments" and by staying focused on the goal.  I will be right by your side to support you and help you stay on track.  You can see some of the results from my "Before & After" photos.

 

Needs Assessment

Your organizational journey begins with a New Organizing Client Form and an in-home 30 min personal consultation.  I will evaluate your current situation, determine the source of your organizing challenges, gain an understanding of your habits, and discuss your goals.  Together we will find solutions that fit your needs.  Please fill out an Organizing Intake form.

 

Consulting Services

If you don't mind putting in some sweat-effort but are not sure how and where to start, I offer both phone and e-mail consultations with expert advice and guidance.  It's an easy and cost effective way to gain valuable organizing tips. Plus...if you are outside my geographic area, this is a great way to get the benefit of a professional organize in the "privacy of your home"...!

 

Sometimes we all get too busy to keep up with the new systems.  I can return to help you maintain your progress.  Weekly, monthly, semi-annual, and annual services are available to keep your home/office as organized as it was the day your project was completed.

Personal Photo Organizer

Do you take a lot of photos?  Could you use help getting your photos from your digital camera to your computer?  Are your images organized in beautiful archival albums?  I provide solutions for both digital & traditional photo needs including one-on-one coaching, photo organization, and albums for hire (creating digital or traditional photo albums).  

 

Speaking Engagements

Organization is a universal topic and something that benefits everyone.  Helping you make time and space for what's important to you!  I will work with you side by side to help you clear the clutter and create an inner space that will nourish and inspire you.  Saving you time, space, money and your sanity.

 

Instead of burying yourself in belongings, create a clutter free life.
