FAQs

Got a question about my services, you may find the answer below.

If not please, send me a message. 

What can you help me with?

I specialize in decluttering and organizing all areas of the home including home offices, basements, kitchens, garages, closets, and clothing.

Do you work alone or can we work together?

Clients are welcome to join me for as much or as little of the organizing process as they choose to be involved in. Most clients prefer to have me perform the sorting process alone, and join me when it comes time to make decisions about what to keep, donate, or toss. Once the decisions making process is over, most clients step away and leave me to create their storage solution.

 

I have a lot of items that are sentimental to me. Will you throw them away?

No. You are involved in the decision-making process of what to keep and what to throw away. I will never encourage you to throw away sentimental items that are important to you.
