WHY DO I NEED TO GET ORGANIZED? 
Getting organized saves you time, money, and can even affect your mood. It reduces stress in your life when you can find what you need when you need it, keep up with your appointments and projects, and reduce clutter in your living or work environment. In a day when we seem to be running at a faster pace than ever, with more demands on our time, being organized frees you up to use the limited energy and time you have most efficiently.

WHY SHOULD I HIRE A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER? 
As a professional organizer, I am trained and equipped to help you along in this process. If you’ve struggled to get started, are wondering where to begin, or simply don’t have the knowledge or motivation to dive in on your own, I may be just what you need to take that first step. I’m enthusiastic and passionate about what I do and anxious to teach you techniques that will not only help you get organized, but maintain the systems we put in place. Let me help you take control of your space, your paper, and your time.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET ORGANIZED? 
Organization is a process, not something you achieve in a day. I can help you set up an organizing system in a few days. After that, it will be up to you to maintain it. The good news is that once you learn about the systems, habits, and tools it takes to live an organized life, the easier it becomes to make those important changes and stick with them.

HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE? 
Fees vary based on the type of organizing services you need, where you live, and how many hours we work together. Once I know what type of services you need, I would be happy to discuss my fee structure.

IF I HIRE YOU, WHAT WILL THE PROCESS LOOK LIKE?
Most projects happen in three phases:

The Assessment Visit – On this visit, I will come to your home to review the project you would like to take on. We will walk through the space and discuss your goals. We will look at what is working and what is not working. I will help you determine the supplies you will need, and offer an estimated time frame. If applicable, I may leave you with homework to complete prior to our actual work session. A typical assessment can last from one to two and a half hours, depending on the project.

The Work Session(s) – This is when we dive in and do the hard work. I will work by your side as we de-clutter your space, teaching you hands-on skills that you can transfer to any other organizing project. You will learn how to make decisions about what to keep, what to get rid of, and how to store those things you hang on to. We will put systems in place to move you toward a more organized life. The length of a work session can vary greatly, depending on the size of the room, how much we have to sort through, and how quickly you make decisions. I recommend working in three to five-hour increments.

The Follow-Up Visit – There are bound to be questions that come up following our final work session. The follow-up visit is the perfect time to ask questions and evaluate, together, how well your new organizing systems are working and being maintained. If you need clarification on any aspect of the project, we will discuss it at that time.

CAN I CALL YOU WITH QUESTIONS AFTER THE FOLLOW-UP VISIT? 
Once you are a client, you are a client for life. I welcome your call or email with questions about the systems we have implemented. If I can answer them quickly and easily, I’m happy to do so, free of charge. If the issue will require additional consulting services, we can discuss fees at that time.

WHAT IF I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP DOING THE HANDS-ON ORGANIZING? 
Although most clients choose to have me work alongside them during most of their project, some clients prefer to do much of the hands-on work themselves. In this case, I will come for an Assessment Visit, after which I will create a customized action plan to help you successfully organize your space on your own. This plan would include regular phone calls to check in (or a visit, if you prefer) to monitor your progress.

WHEN DO YOU TAKE APPOINTMENTS? 
I make every effort to schedule appointments to meet your needs. I am available Monday through Saturday each week, between 9:00am and 5:00pm.

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY? 
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 48 hours notice. Cancellation of a scheduled appointment with less than 48 hours notice will be billed at 50% of the agreed-upon rate and time scheduled. Once a session begins, you are responsible for payment of the full session.

WHAT ABOUT CONFIDENTIALITY?  
Privacy and confidentiality are of the utmost importance to our client/organizer relationship. All information collected by me or reviewed during any of our sessions will remain strictly confidential. I will never release your personal information. I follow the National Association of Professional Organizer's Code of Ethics, a set of principles that provides guidelines in our professional conduct with our clients, colleagues, and community.

WHAT IS NAPO?
The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) is a group of professional organizers dedicated to helping individuals and businesses bring order and efficiency to their lives. Our vision is to have the world recognize the value of organizing and turn to NAPO as the leading organizing authority. Our mission is to develop, lead, and promote professional organizers and the organizing industry.
