Introduction
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 Organize/Pack/Unpack: Minimum Rate: $240/4HR. 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 AN IN-PERSON ORGANIZING SESSION WITH ME 1) We’ll start the session with a quick Q&A to learn a little bit about you, your goals, & organizing preference, so I can tailor a system unique to you that you’ll be able to maintain with ease. 2) The decluttering process (toss or donate) so I can organize for your space with your kept belongings & 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 toss, or donate, I’m happy to work that way, as well. 3) The magic happens as I batch, categorize, label & problem solve to create designated homes for kept belongings that are breathable & easily accessible. 4) Post session, if the room is done being decluttered & organized, & additional organizing storage options are needed to maximize or streamline your space, I will follow-up with emailed product recommendations. Once you’ve acquired your purchases you can do any of the following: A) Hire me back for another 4hr in-person session to optimize it all for you B) Hire me for an hourly rate (body doubling) virtual coaching session C) Complete the finishing touches on your own. ***Please only select me if you’re ready to hire me, as I pay a fee for each inquiry or instant booking & check my calendar for availability*** WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN VIRTUAL ORGANIZING SESSION WITH ME The process is similar to in-person. I'll be coaching you thru the steps needed to accomplish your goals, providing 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 mentioned during a session will be accompanied with a detailed email follow-up so you're clear on any homework. 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. ***Please only select me if you’re ready to hire me, as I pay a fee for each inquiry & instant booking*** 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.

Tara did a fantastic job helping us move into a new home in the last weeks of my pregnancy. She tackled our kitchen, toddler’s room and cleaning closet. Her tips and tricks were helpful. She works relentlessly and effectively. I didn’t need to supervise much, which I appreciated. Would absolutely hire her again! Thank you, Tara!

Tara was amazing to work with. She’s extremely professional, organized, and has a ton of tips/tricks for packing efficiency. She’s also extremely fast. Moving is never easy but Tara made the experience a breeze and alleviated so much of my stress throughout the packing process. She was also careful and treated my things like they were her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Tara again and highly recommend her expert services for your organizational and/or moving/packing needs!

This review is to express my thankfulness to Tara. Tara helped me create a living space out of my chaotic bedroom. I now can feel that my bedroom is livable and peaceful and easier to organize 😊😊 I’m really happy with her work, attitude, helpfulness and accommodating my changes in schedules which I really appreciated. She was always responsive when I reached out to her. I’m glad I met Tara & if I ever need to organize something I won’t think of someone else. Oh and Tara also helped me with my small food storage space so that I can actually find my food. She has many ideas. Thank you Tara ❤️
