Introduction

Hi. I'm so glad you're here. My name is Rachel. I grew up in SC. My Nanny lived on James Island for almost 50 years. I grew up spending weekends running through the azaleas in her big backyard and summer days playing with my siblings and cousins at Folly Beach. After calling Nashville home for over 23 years, my husband and I now live on just over 2.5 acres on Wadmalaw Island with our two, wild kiddos, 3 dogs, one cat, three hermit crabs, and two box turtles. It's our own little slice of heaven and it feels so good to be home. Since I was little I have always liked cleaning and tidying up. First it was my childhood bedroom, then my friends’ rooms, my apartment, my home, and now I get to help others. Organizing and helping my clients create restful, peaceful homes brings me so much joy. We all deserve to look forward to coming home. I think purging, decluttering, and organizing can carry a lot of emotions. We hold onto things for a reason. Those reasons may not be apparent to others, but things can tie us to memories, to places, and people we loved and maybe that we've lost. Walking through a big purge needs to be handled gently and thoughtfully. Stuff is never just stuff, it holds meaning. Decluttering can be done thoughtfully and intentionally and it can be freeing. Creating space for more life to be lived, more memories to be made, creating space just to be can be so calming and is so necessary in our busy lives. So tell me, what do you like about your space? What areas are causing you stress or are no longer working for you? How Can I Help?

We’ve been in our new house for over a year now, and it’s never truly felt like home. The layout didn’t feel right, the organization was suffocating, and everyday I came home with a pit of anxiety in my stomach. Rachel came in and within a matter of minutes, turned our house into a home. She created little spots of joy in every corner, and gave me a new sense of calm. Now when I come home, I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that my home works for our family. Rachel only had caring and compassion, and I never once felt an ounce of judgment because my house wasn’t perfect or spotless. She truly has a big heart for what she does, and I can’t recommend her enough. I can’t wait to work with her again!

Hired on Thumbtack

Rachel was very sweet, kind and lovely to work with. She was so gracious with my needs and flexible with my chaotic moving schedule. She was able to be a great listener and complete tasks very well on her own. I’ll definitely hire her again.

In a matter of just a handful of hours, Rachel accomplished more than I could have completed in a month. My family’s busy schedules, health concerns and overwhelming stress kept me from clearing out my garage for so long. Rachel doubled the amount of space available in my garage in a single morning!! She is a constant champion and I cannot wait to bring her back to work on my next area!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I like to meet with each client, or see their spaces via pictures, and hear their needs and what they envision for their space. This quick meeting can help me provide an accurate quote and timeline! Fun Fact: Traditional rooms (kitchens, living rooms, pantries, bathrooms, bedrooms) can usually be organized in about 2-3 hours! Attics and Basement purges tend to take a bit longer! :)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get everything completely out of the space we're organizing. Then we decide what is being kept, whats' being trashed, what's being donated, and what can be sold! Then I want to clean the space well! Nothing like a clean, blank canvas to inspire a new layout! Once it's clean and fresh we can organize that space according to how often things are used and need to be in reach. Moving things to a new area, say in a kitchen, can save time and make cooking, cleaning, etc easier just because things you need to do those tasks are more accessible. Making sure each space is organized efficiently and uniquely for each person or family is my favorite part. There is no blueprint because everyone's spaces and needs are different!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Does the school of life count? :) For as long as I can remember I've helping friends and family clean and refresh their spaces. As an adult I've owned two magic blue houses. Our house in Nashville was 950 sq ft and our current house is just over 1200 sq ft. Living a full life with kids and pets in a smaller space means you need to organize and purge constantly. Especially with my kids, organizing helps them help themselves. If they can see their things they can get them and play or get ready with more ease. Making sure things are in the right place at the right time matters. Routines are important for people and for our stuff and small adjustments in a space's layout make a big difference in its flow. We grow, our kids grow, our pets grow....our homes and spaces need to be allowed to change and grow with us! You may not need more space, you may just need less stuff!
