Why should I hire a professional organizer? What can you do that I can’t do myself?

Sometimes when you have too many things, it can be overwhelming just to get started. Having an impartial party there can be just the motivation you need to really take it on. Also, people tend to have emotional attachments to their things. As a professional organizer, I can look at things from a more neutral perspective and ask the questions that will give you more clarity around your items.

Okay, cool. I’m ready to book a consult, what happens next?

Once you book your consult, I will give you a call and we will discuss your situation and goals. If we both decide to move forward, then I will visit your home (in-person or virtually) so I can see your space.

I’ll give you my expert opinion on how many sessions it should take. I’ll send you a proposal within 24 hours and if you’re ready to book, we’ll schedule your first session!

My goal is to create a judgment-free space where you feel supported every step of the way. During your session, we will go through your items and decided what to keep, donate, and let go of. Nothing will ever be discarded without your consent. Some things you will have to sort through yourself. While you’re doing that, I will be arranging things in a functional, yet aesthetically pleasing way based on your preferences.

After your sessions, hopefully you will feel a sense of peace and be able to maintain your space now that it’s decluttered and organized!

Do you provide any additional services? Are there any services you don’t provide?

I do:

• Handle all donations as long as they fit in my car.

• Handle e-waste recycling as long as it fits in my car.

• Provide resources for you to maintain the process after your session.

• Keep in touch! I’ll always be there for support and more than happy to answer any follow-up questions after your sessions are complete.

It depends:

• While I don’t handle junk hauling, I can recommend local junk haulers if the items you decide to let get of will not fit in your collection bins. *If you use Waste Management (WM) for your weekly collection pick-up, did you know they offer a free bulky item pick-up each year in most areas?

• Items that can be sold quickly (this usually includes things like furniture in good condition), I can take photos, post online (I prefer Nextdoor and occasionally Craigslist), and coordinate with buyers for pickup. If they sell, we will split the profits 50/50.

I don’t:

• I am more than happy to do light cleaning and dusting, but please keep in mind that I am not a house cleaner. I reserve the right to refuse service if there are health or safety concerns.

If I book a package, and don’t use all my sessions, will I lose them?

Not right away! Unused sessions do not expire until two (2) years after the purchase date.

I’d love to work with you, but don’t live in the Bay Area. Do you travel?

I do! Please book a consult and we can discuss.
