Hello!! It would be my pleasure to help you achieve your goals!! Here’s my rates & important info to see if your needs meet my expertise.
In-Person Home Organize & Moving Pack/Unpack: Minimum Rate: $260/4HR. Virtual Organizing: Flat Rate $200 (Four 1hr sessions)
ORGANIZING INVESTMENT
It typically takes 4 to 8hrs to organize a room. Home offices, garages, or any area that has years’ worth of accumulation will take more. The benefits: serenity gained; time & money saved by knowing where everything is, what you have, improved health (reduce or eliminate anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, stress & health issues caused by stress), self-confidence & pride is priceless!!
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A ORGANIZING SESSION WITH ME
1) Prior to a scheduled session I’ll email you a prep list (nothing to buy) using supplies you already have on hand. The key is to organize for your space, not your stuff, therefore, any organizing storage purchases should only be done once organization is complete to truly know what you may need or want.
2) We’ll start the session with a quick Q&A so I can learn what your organizing preference is, in order to tailor a system unique to you that you’ll be able to maintain with ease. And for those that live in shared spaces who have different organizing preferences, I’ll recommend what the compromise needs to be for everyone to live in harmony.
3) Phase 1: De-Clutter & Sort Process (keep, toss, or donate) in order to free up space for kept items & repurpose any organizing storage. I strongly recommend a joint effort to acquaint you with skills helpful for staying organized & eliminating the overabundance trap; however, should you prefer to give me full autonomy of what to keep, toss, or donate, I’m happy to work that way, as well.
4) Phase 2: Organize, Contain & Zone Process: This is where the magic happens as I problem solve to create designated homes for kept belongings that are contained & labeled, breathable & easily accessible, using the space you have that works with your organizing preference.
5) Post session, I will email you the following within 48hrs: Your organizing preference results that includes details, visuals, tips & resources & a wrap-up with organizing storage recommendations, guidelines, tips & additional resources.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN VIRTUAL ORGANIZING SESSION WITH ME
I'll coach you thru the steps needed to accomplish your goals, provide professional advice, recommendations, & accountability. You have to be able to follow directions, & do all the physical aspects the job requires, finish tasks & homework assignments on your own in between sessions. Any advice, recommendations, & next steps/homework mentioned during a session will be accompanied with a detailed email follow-up so everything is crystal clear. Clients who choose virtual organizing have the highest success rate of maintaining their organizing systems. The guidance & hands-on approach teaches you everything you need to know to accomplish goals & provide long-lasting change. In-person organizing is ideal for those needing help with the physical aspects, discipline, hand-holding, or prefer someone to do all the organizing for them.
VIRTUAL ORGANIZING MUST HAVES
A) You need one of the following devices: Smart phone, laptop, tablet, or iPad for Zoom video chat (I’ll provide the link) so you can show me the areas needing decluttering/organizing & move around the space as needed. B) Good internet. C) Ability to pay by Zelle (eTransfer) at the beginning of a scheduled session.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A PACKING SESSION WITH ME Prior to session I’ll email you a moving prep: packing supplies & recommendations resource list to look over to guide your decision-making process of what to buy, how much, etc. On the day: Pack & label your belongings with care & upon request, help you figure out what to keep, donate or toss.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A UNPACKING SESSION WITH ME It’s most productive to get you functional (unpack boxes into designated rooms) to access your possessions sooner than later. I recommend any fine-tuning (micro-organizing: sorting, batching, color coordinating, folding to maximize space, etc) post functional. If you prefer functional + fine-tuning simultaneously, I’m happy to do so, it will just take more time.
PACK/UNPACK INVESTMENT VARIABLES Unfortunately, I’m not able to give you a definite estimate of how long it will take to pack or unpack because the amount of belongings you may have may differ from someone else with the same amount of space. In addition, if I'm the only one packing or unpacking, or you need help with what to keep, toss, donate, lining shelves & drawers, this will take more time. In general, packing & unpacking kitchens are the most tedious & take the longest. Dishware packing kits are highly recommended if you're trying to save time. Bedrooms with a lot of wardrobe & belongings & garages would be runner up. That said, I recently started keeping track to give clients an idea of the many variables that go into how long it may take.
