What benefits are there to getting organized?
There are many benefits to getting organized! The most important benefit I see is that you will have more time to do what makes you happy. You will feel less stressed and spend less time looking for lost or forgotten items in your home. The environment that you live in is crucial to your emotional, mental, and physical well being. When everything is in order it makes the rest of your life easier!
What areas in my home can you help with?
I am equipped to tackle almost any residential organizing project. However, I do not work in Large Offices, Commercial Buildings, Sheds, or Attics.
Areas in the home I DO work in: Bedrooms, Play Rooms, Activity/Craft Rooms, Laundry Rooms, Small Home Offices, Kitchens, Pantries, Living Rooms, Dining Rooms, Storage Rooms, Bathrooms, Mud Rooms, Closets, Basements, Garages, and Vehicles.
If I cannot do the job myself, I will find you someone who can!
Will our time together be kept confidential?
Allowing someone to come into your home and go through your belongs can be difficult and uncomfortable. Everything we do and discuss is kept confidential. The privacy of my clients is extremely important to me. As a member of Professional Organizers in Canada, I conduct my business following their Code of Ethics.

This agreement will be sent to you via email shortly after your onsite consultation. A signed service agreement is required before the execution off any onsite organizing, errands, or specialty services.

Absolutely! Gift certificates are available in any denomination. Contact me directly to purchase.
