How my In-Person Organizing Services Work
It starts with a complimentary 30 minute consultation via phone or video chat to discuss your organizing needs.
We then schedule in-person hands-on organizing 3-hour sessions. The total amount of time it takes to complete an organizing project depends on the size and scope as well as the speed at which you make decisions.
At the first in-person session, I walk through your home or office with you to discuss your goals. We devise a basic plan of action together, and then I begin hands-on decluttering and organizing for the remainder of the scheduled session.
It is most productive if at least 1 home owner is available to work with me side by side, although some sorting can be done with minimal involvement by the homeowner, if requested. At least 1 homeowner must be present in the home for the entirety of the scheduled session.
I will work side-by-side with you to sort, declutter and organize, and I help you to determine what to keep, donate, sell or discard. You are the final decision-maker. I provide non-judgmental guidance, support and encouragement during this process. I also provide you with many resources on ways to donate, sell or discard items.
It often takes multiple sessions to completely declutter and organize a home or office. Sessions are scheduled based on your timeline and organizing needs.
In-Person Hands-on Organizing Sessions Include
- An in-home assessment & basic plan of action (during the start of the 1st in-person session only).
- Hands-on decluttering, organizing or unpacking during the scheduled time.
- Free donation drop off of up to 1 trunk load of items to a nearby Goodwill, if requested.
- The tax-deductible donation receipt will be provided to you.

- An email with follow-up tasks from the session.
