How we work together
Regardless of if we’re working side-by-side in-person, or at a distance over video chat, creating calm out of chaos is a simple process where I walk you through how we’re going to take back your space so you can relax and enjoy yourself again. I’ll support you the entire way, so we can create the kind of organization and redesign of your space that gives you peace of mind every time you walk into it.
With my 20 years of organizing experience plus Marie Kondo's KonMari Method® I help you get to the root of chaos and clutter, and eliminate stress points in your home once and for all. (I’m a Certified KonMari Consultant and I’ve used Marie’s methods for years – so I’ll be able to help you put her principles into practice in your space.)
We’ll work side-by-side to make your home joyful again - transforming your space into something that makes you genuinely happy every day. Once you live in a joy filled space, you won't go back to a cluttered life, and you’ll be free to do the things you really want to do.
Getting started is super straightforward.
There are three steps to taking back your space.
1. Initial no-cost consultation call
2. Home tour, first hands-on session and action plan
3. Follow-up session(s)
Step 1 - Book Initial Complimentary Hope + Relief Call
Once you book your initial phone consult I’ll call you and get to know “where you are with your space.” Calls generally run 15-20 minutes or so, and by the end we’ll get you breathing easier and looking at your space with hopeful possibility (even if right now, it may seem overwhelming).
I’ll also leave you with a few specific, practical steps you can take right away for managing the process of transforming your space in a way that feels achievable for you.
Past clients have referred to this initial consult as a “hope and relief” call, so if you need some of that hope & relief in your space, let’s start!
How virtual sessions work
If, for whatever reason, we’re unable to hold our organizing sessions in person, never fear! We can get you organized from a distance, using the power of modern technology.
The way these sessions work…
We’ll have a video call using a platform such a Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime. From there, it’s just like a normal in person session. We’ll walk through and take a look at your space (so make sure you use a portable device such as a laptop or phone), we’ll get a sense of what changes will make you feel more joyful right from the start, and dive into the process of reclaiming your space and getting it organized for you current season of life. Together, we’ll go through the whole decluttering process, and come up with an organization plan that is specifically designed for your life in your space.
The Rest of the Process:
Step 2 - Home Visit & Action Plan
What's Included
The 1st Session
- Home Visit + Tour + Storage Assessment
- Comprehensive Needs Assessment
- "Before Photos"
- Signature KonMari Folding Lesson
- Action Plan Development
At the end of our consultation call and we decide we are a good fit, we schedule our first session. I send out the Agreement, you pay your deposit and then relax knowing help is on the way!
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FIRST SESSION:
First we'll look at your space, find out what's most important to getting you organized, and get a sense of what changes will make you feel more full of joy right from the start. We will discuss your Vision of how you want to feel at home, maybe calm, energetic, peaceful — whatever is right for YOU. We take tour of your space, take a few “before” photos, and get a comprehensive understanding of what will make the process a success for you.
Then we'll dive in – starting the process of getting you organized and creating more delight-filled spaces in your life.
(I’ll even teach you Marie Kondo’s simple clothes-folding technique that can free up an amazing amount of storage space for you overnight!)
This first session is half a day with breaks as needed.
AT THE END OF OUR FIRST SESSION:
We'll look at where you are, where you want to be, and create a game plan for taking back the rest of your space. I'll create a Simple Action Plan for you so you won't feel overwhelmed, and then together we'll decide the best way to execute that game plan.
We’ll also decide on which follow up package would work best for you and your organizing project (more details below).
By the end of this first session you'll know your exact next steps so you can feel in charge of your space again.
Step 3 – Follow-Up Organizing Sessions
What happens next will fall into one of two categories, depending on what your priorities are when it comes to organizing:
Working through the KonMari Method® until all the clutter is out of your house, and everything in your space passes the “sparks joy” test, or
Working through a specific space in your house (a home office, a closet, an attic, etc.)
We’ll accomplish either of these by scheduling additional follow-up sessions. As your initial session, all follow-up sessions are five hours long - beginning at 10am, and ending at 3:00pm.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL YOU NEED?
At the end of your initial session, we'll talk about how you want to move forward, and what package will fit best for you.
Of course, every individual project is unique, and everyone make decisions about their possessions at different speeds - so what takes one person one session may take another person two or three. I'll give you suggestions based on my professional opinion, and how quickly we moved through things in the first session.
Regardless of what kind of project you choose to work together on, we will take back your space and transform it into something you truly enjoy being in – every single day.
To get started, schedule a call with me!
If you’re interested in organizing your space and making it everything you’d always hoped it would be, let’s chat for a few minutes to see if we’re a good fit for tackling this together!
Packages
Honestly, five hour sessions are the most productive and life changing. We discuss the details during our first call.
Exactly how long your project takes will depend on a couple of factors. How quickly you make decisions about what to keep and what to let go of. How large an area you want to tackle. How much stuff you have. How much you put into the project between sessions, and the pace we work through that stuff.
Some projects can get done in a session or two. Some projects can take dozens of sessions to complete. In our first session together, we'll come up with an action plan that makes sense for you. We come up with a real-life plan that makes sense for your life.
““I did not realize when we began that my entire room would become a sweet little dressing room rather than a junk room/office... This has lead to new habits of clearing off my surfaces, putting my clothes away at night, laying out my clothes, and getting enough rest - things I just never cared about because my space (physical and psychic) was so cluttered.””
