What are the benefits of getting organized?
There are so many benefits! "I got my life back!", raved one client. They went on to say they felt like a new person with the freedom it gave their mind. Now, we don't make promises, but organization makes a huge impact on your space and your mind. Less visual clutter can improve your mindset, moods, social calendar, and even health. You will find yourself having more time, less distraction, less stress and much more ease. Knowing that there is a home for where everything makes it easier to find and easier to put away for everyone in the house/business. Life becomes simpler when your environment is organized, clean, and it’s easy to find things. And again, no promises, but we've been known to find actual cash hidden in almost every home.
​Will you work with me or just coach me?
I let you choose to be a part of as much of or as little of the process as you want to. There is always some ways during the process of decluttering that requires input from the client, but if input is all you want to do by way of participation, that is great. However, if you want to help, it makes the job go faster. There are coaching moments that happen along the way regardless.
