Organizing is about designing your space so that it reflects who you are and what is important to you.  It is arranging things logically and efficiently so that staying organized will be easy for you.

Anyone who is feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or thinking there is no way to gain control of the clutter in his/her business or personal life needs a Professional Organizer. No one is born organized.  Many people are just overwhelmed with too many projects and are uncertain how or where to begin.  

You can no longer afford not to be organized.  Organizing has become a survival skill. In business, being organized increases efficiency and productivity, which potentially increases profits. At home, it means more time with your family, more time for hobbies, exercise, or other things that are important in your life. Clutter steals energy away from you and is emotionally draining. In short, being organized means less stress. It creates A Calming Effect.

Organizing projects are handled either at an hourly rate or by the project. Organizing projects differ from house to house and office to office, depending on the scope of work to be done and the client’s involvement in the process. Based on an initial consultation, we will arrive at a time estimate for the work to be done. After the initial review, you will be presented with a proposal and plan of action.

I will meet with you just once or on an on-going basis. Some clients have requested help with a particular project only. Other clients have embarked on a gradual plan where we will eventually declutter and re-organize all of the main areas in their homes or businesses. Repeat clients are eligible for discounted rates.
