Frequently Asked Questions

Listen friend, you totally can DIY and I will cheer you on from the sidelines. However, investing in a dedicated expert will make the process JOYFUL and STRESS-FREE. Hiring a professional organizer to hold you accountable and keep up the momentum can be the difference between a project getting done in one week vs one year!
-
I distinguish myself from other professional organizers in two distinct ways. First, I have a holistic approach: I believe organizing is an intentional practice, so it’s about the journey, not the destination. Second, I’m an eco-friendly organizer: I care a lot about where all the stuff goes and include ethical off-loading into my packages.
-
Every project is unique! Much depends upon the size and scope. But you can generally expect that we will start with intention setting and reimagining the form and function of the space. We’ll begin by removing items that don’t belong in that room and discarding obvious trash. Then we categorize, putting like-items together so you can really access what you have, and declutter what you no longer want or need. Then the magic happens: we organize and optimize the space, reflect on the process, and take a deep cleansing breath. I’ll load up my car with all the donations and take them with me (unless it’s a virtual session, in which you do that part). Then we tackle the next project!
-
That’s when we slow down, take a beat, and I put on my coaching hat. I will be fully present with you to witness what arises and help you to not lose momentum. These moments are totally normal and are all part of the process!
-
Absolutely not! You determine which items to lovingly curate and which to off-load. I will coach you through the decision-making process by helping you access your intuition. While I will encourage you to be deeply honest with yourself, you will never feel pressured to discard anything if you don’t feel ready!
-
I’ll remove everything you have let go from your home, same day, at no extra charge. I’ll properly and safely discard trash and recycling, and donate everything else to people and organizations in need. Any remaining items are brought to local charities and non-profits. I make every effort to keep items out of landfills.
-
I accept all credit cards (and you can even tap and pay at the end of the session), or you can pay via Zelle, Venmo, or in cash. Gift cards are available too.
-
Life happens and sometimes sessions need to be rescheduled… no worries! I require 24 hours notice before cancelling or rescheduling a session, and I’ll issue a full refund.
-
YES! I love me a weekend project.
-
Yes! I offer residential and digital organizing virtually. I also may be willing to travel to your location - let’s chat!
-
Have trash bags and cleaning supplies handy, though there is no need to “pre-clean” beforehand. Create a playlist. Light a candle. Grab your journal and a pen.
If a clothing closet is a primary focus, I recommend getting all the laundry done prior to the session.
-
Oh yes!
-
Only with your full consent.
-
Absolutely! Nothing would make me happier than to return to your home for a reset and/or a deeper dive into organizing more spaces together.
