The consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and discuss the space you would like to improve. We will discuss things like what your goals are, if you are a hidden or visual organizer, how your life operates and what amount of detail you prefer to help you function at your best. I prefer to meet virtually so I can see your space while also respecting your time. I will walk you through my process in more detail and we will develop a game plan together on how to help you become more organized. Please do not tidy up as I need to know how your real life operates to find the best solution for you.

There are 3 simple steps in the process.

1. Declutter - The first step is always to declutter or “Edit” what you have in your space. Our modern world has set us all up to own more than we need (or even want). I will support you through this process of removing things that are no longer serving you by asking thoughtful questions to help you reflect on what is truly important. Note, you will always have the final say on what stays and what goes.

2. Categorize - Grouping like items together helps us identify everything you have and streamline the process of finding a good "home" for each item.

3. Organize - We will take a step back to make sure that we are using your space in a functional way that actually supports the way you live. We will create a system that is sustainable and matches your natural habits. If necessary, we will buy organizing supplies to match your preferences, preferably eco-friendly options.

REUSE/DONATE - I will work on finding charitable programs that you feel good about supporting and that accept the various items we discover. Lucky for us, Portland has many options!

RECYCLE - I am a proud affiliate of RIDWELL, which takes lots of hard to recycle items. If you would like to use RIDWELL yourself to encourage decluttering, please let me know and I’ll get you a code for 1 month free. I am happy to answer any and all questions about what they take.

REDUCE - Note, our goal is to shift your perspective so you are able to reduce the amount of stuff you acquire in the first place (and save money).

I generally provide 3 hour sessions during the hours of 9:00 am - 3:00 pm on weekdays. These hours can be adjusted slightly for your needs, so please reach out and see if we can find a time that will work.

Nothing is really required. If you really must do something… we can discuss a game plan during the consultation. It could include things like: practice decluttering, make sure laundry is cleaned before a bedroom declutter, collect containers that you already own, etc.

*Please do not buy any organizational supplies, this will happen after the decluttering and sorting process.

Deposit for each session is required upfront to gain access to my calendar. Note, we will focus on one space or room at a time. Any additional cost related to organizational supplies purchased and for recycling & disposal fees, will be billed after each session.

I service the Portland Metro Area and can travel ~20 miles from downtown. Travel outside of the Portland area will require additional mileage fees.
