Frequently asked questions.

  • Absolutely not! There is no set limit on what you should keep or let go of. Our approach is to help you find the right balance that makes sense for your lifestyle right now. If there are items that you cherish, need, or that serve a clear purpose, they’ll remain a part of your space. The goal is to create a comfortable and functional environment, not to make you feel deprived.

  • Letting go can be a challenge, and you're not alone in feeling that way. We work together to create confidence and set intentions that align with your goals. With patience and empathy, we’ll help you identify items that truly add value to your life, while creating a plan for anything that may be holding you back. Setting an end goal can be a powerful motivator to stay focused and on track.

  • Yes! We understand that decluttering can be a time-intensive and sometimes emotional process, so we offer flexible scheduling to suit your needs. Sessions can be split into two or even three parts, depending on the time and focus needed. Evening and weekend sessions are also available, making it easy to plan around your schedule.

  • Preparing for a session is simple but important. Get a good night's rest, drink plenty of water, and eat a nourishing meal before we begin. These three factors will keep you energized and focused for the decisions you’ll be making. We’ll also send you a preparation checklist ahead of time to make sure you feel ready and organized when we start.

  • Decluttering is the process of letting go of items that no longer serve you, making space for things you truly need or value. Organizing, on the other hand, involves creating customized systems for the belongings you keep so that they’re easy to access and maintain. Decluttering clears the space; organizing makes it functional and beautiful.

  • We start with a consultation to understand your goals, preferences, and specific challenges. During the session, we’ll sort through items in manageable sections, making decisions based on your comfort level. As we declutter, we also set up organizing solutions tailored to your lifestyle. After the session, you’ll receive follow-up tips and resources to help you maintain your new space.

  • You can expect a collaborative, non-judgmental approach to sorting through your items. We work together to categorize items, decide what to keep, and let go of what’s no longer needed. There will be breaks as needed, and I’ll be there to guide you through every step, keeping the process calm, focused, and as enjoyable as possible.

  • Sentimental items are often the hardest to part with, so we treat them with special care. We’ll take time to discuss the meaning of these items and explore creative ways to honor their memories, such as creating keepsake boxes or photo albums. If you’re not ready to let something go, we’ll find a respectful place for it in your home.

  • We offer guidance on sustainable disposal methods, such as donating, recycling, or repurposing. If you wish, we can try to arrange for donation pickups or provide a list of local charities that accept specific items. Our goal is to help ensure your unwanted items find a new home or are disposed of responsibly.

  • Not necessarily. While some clients find that a few organizing tools enhance their space, we always start by using what you already have. If we identify that specific bins, shelves, or containers would be helpful, we’ll suggest those, but it’s completely up to you. Organizing doesn’t require fancy products—it just requires systems that work for you.

  • Yes! Digital clutter can be just as overwhelming as physical clutter. We can work on organizing your digital files, setting up a simplified folder structure, and cleaning up desktop space. We can also help streamline your email and digital photos so that everything feels as organized online as it does in your home.

  • Aftercare is a key part of our service. Once we finish a session, you’ll receive a personalized plan with tips on maintaining the space we’ve organized. We’re also available for follow-up sessions or check-ins to help you stay on track. Our goal is to give you tools and techniques for keeping your space clutter-free over the long term.

  • It’s natural to feel uncertain, especially at the beginning. We work at a pace that feels right for you, taking breaks as needed and checking in often. You’ll always have a say in what happens with each item, and I’ll be there to support and guide you through any moments of hesitation.

  • Yes, we do offer virtual decluttering and organizing sessions. Virtual sessions are similar to in-person ones, but done via video call. We guide you step-by-step in real-time, offering support, encouragement, and personalized recommendations just as we would in person. This can be a great option for smaller projects or clients outside of our service area.

  • Yes, but we’re here to help! After our session, you’ll receive easy-to-follow tips to maintain your new space on your own. For additional support, we also offer regular maintenance sessions—monthly, quarterly, or whenever you need them—to keep everything in order and make adjustments as your needs change.
