Professional Organizing
When you clear the clutter, you have the time, energy, and space to recognize your true self and nurture your full potential.
Life transitions force us to let go of the familiar and face the future with a feeling of vulnerability. Whether positive or negative, life transitions can force us to adjust to new ways of living, being, and working, at least temporarily.
By recognizing and understanding that these times can be quite difficult, I’m here to thoughtfully guide the process.
With a Specialist Certificate in Life Transitions, I help you face these challenges and respectfully provide strategies for coping as we navigate through the transition.
Has something in your life changed, or is it time for your home to support you differently?
Life Transitions
In an ever-changing climate including the transitions of working from home as well as remote learning, creating structures and streamlining our routines ensures our homes are better equipped to handle the everyday and unexpected situations.
By providing clear direction, we can eliminate confusion while adding self-confidence and cohesiveness to your home.
With a Specialist Certificate in Household Management, I offer an holistic approach to the challenges we face in making our home life not only functional but flourish.
Space Optimization
More than organizing. A structured path forward.
Simplifying
In our ever-changing world, it’s important that we are able to manage and take charge of the things we can. If our minds and surroundings are noisy and cluttered, it can impact every aspect of our lives.
Together we can get your space organized and establish an environment that supports and encourages you with a minimal amount of friction.
Structuring
Organizing isn’t one-size-fits-all and is different for everyone. We can feel like we’re doing something wrong or just can’t get it together. If we don’t have systems in place that work for us, we can feel like we’re spinning.
Together we can get your space organized by developing systems that are intuitive for you and that you will feel confident maintaining over time.
Often we prolong beginning a project or clearing out a closet or cleaning up our stuff because it feels too large or intimidating. If we look at the big picture, we can become trapped with not knowing where to begin.
Together we can get your space organized by identifying your motivation, visualizing your space, and putting it into bite-sized manageable tasks.
