Organizing

 

I know you’re craving getting things more organized and feeling freer. And I know it can be hard to let someone into your personal space where you might feel vulnerable. I get it.  It turns out it’s a lot easier than you think it will be. In fact, we end up laughing a lot! I bring a lightness to the process. It doesn’t have to be heavy or hard. There’s no right or wrong. We just start where you are and dig in … together.  

It’s amazing how quickly things can change for you.  Let’s just get in there and organize together. We won’t just talk about it. We’ll get it done. It might feel like it will take forever, but completion is possible. You can be organized. You can love your space.
 
Starting can be the hardest part. Even calling me and having me over might feel hard at first. We’ll start with the easiest things, warm up, and make noticeable and rewarding progress. It gets easier and easier as we go.
 
Organizing is one of the most powerful ways to shift your energy and make room for something new to come in.  I help people with a wide range of organizing needs including: 

Home & Office Organizing

I’ll help you get rid of clutter – both external and internal and create order out of chaos. I’ll help you get grounded and clear, assess what’s most important, make decisions and let go of the rest. Maybe it’s helping you set up your home office, or mom’s command center, maybe it’s finally using the space that has been a storage room. Getting clear and organized creates the space for what you really want to come into your life. Creating more physical space in your surroundings does amazing things to your psyche; suddenly there is more optimism, focus, energy and joy.
 
Everyone has different organizational challenges. My work is not about making the person fit a mold, but rather creating a mold to fit the person. My desire is to figure out where you get stuck and gently guide you through it. Whether you get stuck in the overwhelm of just beginning, the decision making, or the actual letting go, I can help you. Just by my being there, my clients are able to do things that otherwise just feel too hard or overwhelming.

Space Design

If you can't quite figure out how to make your spaces work, let me give you a hand and see if we can help you to function better and love your home and/or your office. I love the challenge of designing spaces for both functionality and beauty. I’ve moved a lot of furniture around over the years.

 

 

Moving & Downsizing

Many people are choosing to downsize their homes as part of simplifying their lives or because they are starting a new phase of their life. Moving is a great opportunity to take stock, re‐evaluate, simplify and get organized. I help people prepare for a move by sorting, deciding what to keep, figuring out how to let go of the rest. I can also help you move into the new space, decide how to use the space most effectively and figure out where everything goes. Ease the transition inside and out.  

Preparing—Deciding—Letting Go—Moving—Settling In

I can help with each stage of the process.

Transitioning Elders

When it is time for our elders to move to a smaller living space, it can be overwhelming, and emotional for the entire family. I bring an objective perspective to sorting through a lifetime of memories and a house full of things. I am a gentle yet pragmatic guide who will find just the right pace for the entire moving process — before, during and after. Transition with ease and grace.

Coaching/Organizing Combination

I often suggest starting with the physical organizing because it creates such a good foundation for finding clarity and moving forward.
 
A great way to combine organizing and coaching is in my Clean Slate Program. This is especially good for those who want to seriously clear the slate, get out from under, and create a new life in that solid foundation. It’s possible! [Read more here.]
