Professional Organizing Frequently Asked Questions

General

  • A professional organizer works with clients to declutter and create organizational systems that make your daily life easier and less stressful. I create customized plans, unique to each client’s needs, so you get more time back and love your space again!

  • I work with families, moms, children, empty nesters, teachers, and people with ADHD and ADHD tendencies of all ages.

  • I will travel to Boston, the Greater Boston Area, North Shore communities, and nearby towns across MA, Southern NH, and Providence, RI.

  • I specialize in organizing for people with ADHD and ADHD tendencies. Learn more about my ADHD-tailored approach here.

  • Absolutely. I can help you sort through what to donate or throw out, and I include the removal of one carload of donations per session.

  • I promise it’s not! I will never judge you for your space. I’ll meet you where you’re at, and help you see the potential in your home. What feels daunting and insurmountable to you is actually an enjoyable opportunity for me to use my creative problem solving skills. For me, the crazier the mess, the better!

  • No! I will help you declutter only what you truly don’t need. I love repurposing meaningful items in unexpected ways, and we will keep what is important to you (and donate what isn’t).

  • Yes! I can help you stage your home, pack, and unpack your belongings in a systemized way. I can help you create systems in your new space, so you can start your next chapter feeling calm and organized.

  • Yes! I love helping clients keep their most important belongings and making the most out of a smaller space.

Lifestyle

  • Yes. Menopause and perimenopause can bring about changes in energy, sleep, and focus, which can make organization feel overwhelming. Together, we can create new systems and routines that fit your current phase of life and are easy to maintain.

  • If you’re taking a GLP-1 medication, you might be experiencing major changes in your clothing size, eating habits, and daily routines. You might have many clothes in your closet that no longer fit, or items in the pantry that you no longer need. We can work together to decide what still serves you, what can be donated or moved, and what systems will make each day easier.

  • Yes. I specialize in helping people with ADHD or ADHD tendencies declutter, create organizational home systems, and maintain them, so they can love their space again. I will meet you where you are and help you learn how to stick to organization systems (even if you’ve never stuck to systems before!). To learn more, visit my ADHD support page.

  • I have a variety of strategies that make organizing ADHD-friendly, like reducing the steps to organizing, using visual reminders, and tackling just one organizing task at a time. We can chat about what strategies are right for you in a complimentary consultation call.

  • Yes! I’m a former teacher, so I teach you how to stay organized. I’ll also create simple systems for you that are easy to maintain with ADHD or ADHD tendencies, so organization will feel easier.

  • Absolutely. You might think your space is too crazy or cluttered – but it’s not! I love tackling clutter and coming up with a creative way to trim it down and keep it organized. In my book, the messier, the better – no judgment here!

The Process 

  • The first step is booking a complimentary phone call where we discuss your vision and goals. From there, we create a plan for your space that will include one or more sessions of organizing. I customize my plan for each client, because their goals, vision, and spaces are all unique – so your process will be tailored to you!

  • Absolutely not! Leaving your space as-is is helpful for me, so I can see your current habits (and help you start new ones to keep your home tidy and maintained).

  • Yes! I’m a former teacher, so I teach you how to maintain organizational systems and stay decluttered.

  • It’s impossible to know for sure how long an organization project will take. I tailor my organization to each client, depending on their space, goals, and lifestyle. After we work together for one session, I can usually give you a rough estimate of how long it might take.

  • No. We won’t know what we need until we go through the decluttering and measuring process.

  • I don’t provide organizational products, but I can show you my favorite tried-and-true products that I recommend for your space. I also love repurposing heirlooms and meaningful items you already own to organize your space!

Cost

  • I have both package and hourly rates that you can choose from based on your goals and budget. You can find these here.

  • I’d be happy to come back and help keep your systems maintained, or adjust them as your life changes. I recommend The Transformation package if you know you’ll want on-going support.

  • Book a complimentary consultation and I’ll be happy to guide you to the right package for your vision and goals.
