Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a professional organizer?

A professional organizer is someone who assists customers organize their homes and personal spaces and help improve their productivity. Organizing can include physical space, or time.

2. Do I need a professional organizer?

If you are having a hard time finding your personal items, feeling overwhelmed, find that your clutter is getting in the way of your everyday life, or are having a difficult time making appointments, you may need a professional organizer. It is important to speak to various professional organizers to get an idea of how they work and make sure it's a good fit.

3. Can't I just do it myself?

Sure! If you have the motivation to get organized then by all means go for it! At times, however, it helps to have someone on the *outside* come in without any prior attachment to the items and/or situation or the client to help get- and keep- you going.

4. How much do you charge?

Because organizing is an ongoing and long-term process- organizing services are charged in packages starting at 6 hours, at $100/hr. 6 hour packages cost $600, 12 hour packages cost $1080 , and 18 hour packages cost $1530 (Note that more hours give you a lower rate per hour). If you would prefer another set of hours that would work for you, please reach out. I want to help you achieve your organizing goals!

Packing and unpacking services cost $100/hr. All sessions require a 2-hour minimum. I also offer to drive items to donation for an additional fee.

5. Will you tell me what to get rid of?

Absolutely not! You make the decisions about your belongings- I am there to support you and ask guiding questions when you are unsure.

6. Do I have to be there for our sessions?

At least for the first couple of sessions- while I get to know you, your lifestyle, and your personality, it is important that we work together. After spending some time together- if you find you become overwhelmed by the decision-making process, or if you are just busy, I offer to declutter and organize while you are away. I will always, however, check in with you at the end of the session to ensure I receive your approval for the items I put aside to donate.

7. I want to get started! What should I do?

Great! Reach out for more information and to schedule a complementary consultation that would enable us to determine if we are a good fit.
