• Gain control over your surroundings.
• Access information quickly.
• Increase productivity.
• Achieve consistency.
• Manage deadlines more efficiently.
• Avoid penalties and save money.
• De-stress and increase your energy level.

How do I hire a professional organizer?

Most truly professional organizers are members of NAPO, the National Association of Professional Organizers. They have an excellent article on their website entitled How to Hire a Professional Organizer. I highly recommend you read it if you are considering hiring an organizer.

How does your service work?

I offer a free initial telephone assessment to learn about your organizing challenges. I want to understand as much as I can about what is working in your life, and what isn't. Based upon our conversation I will schedule a meeting with you to perform an in-depth assessment. From this I will create an organizing plan for your approval.

How long will it take for me to get organized?

Every person and every situation is different. When I see what needs to be done, and know what your goals are, I can give you a recommendation on how much time it will take to create order out of your chaos!

Do you work on small projects

Yes. Not everybody needs a complete organizational makeover. Sometimes you just have a storeroom that needs a system or a filing system in need of an overhaul. I accept limited, smaller projects such as these, so don't hesitate to call me regardless of what your needs may be.

Do you have weekend or evening hours available?

Yes. I realize many people work during the weekday and can't simultaneously tackle an organizing project, so I am available to work with you on weekends and evenings.

Do you have gift certificates available?

Yes. I make it easy for you to "give the gift or organization" to a friend, family member, loved one or business associate. My gift certificates are available in any denomination and are a great way to help a disorganized someone get over the fear of working with a professional organizer.
