What is a Professional Organizer?

What is a Professional Organizer?

The perception that people have of a Professional Organizer is always interesting.   We’ve been compared to a “cleaning lady”, a therapist, and even a teacher.

The variety of clients that hire a Professional Organizer seems to be as vast as the number of stars in the sky.  Sometimes it is just a closet that needs to be de-cluttered or the kitchen cabinets that are out of control.  More times than not though, it is an entire home that needs attention and our clients just don’t know where to begin the de-cluttering process.

A Professional Organizer will help you begin the de-clutter process and continue it  through to the end.    We help you make clutter decisions;  what should be kept, what needs to be eliminated and what to do with the rest that does needs to find a home.  We also help you use your space more efficiently and easily to fit your lifestyle.    You hire a trainer, coach and cleaning lady, why not hire a Professional Organizer to help you reach your dreams and goals of not just becoming organized, but staying organized.    

Becoming organized is more than just “cleaning out” your closets.  Continuing to bring items into your space without anything leaving will simply cause more clutter.  Your space is not going to expand to the amount of items that you bring into your home or office.  You can’t magically make your closets hold twice as many clothes over and over again.  In order to make an affective change, items need to leave your space permanently.

Professional Organizers help you begin the process and learn skills to help you continue maintenance on a daily basis. We understand that the reasons that your space has become so disorganized may be due to situations that were beyond your control.  I have experienced these types of situations myself and finding the mindset to begin the de-cluttering process can be difficult.  I’ve been there, done that and earned the t-shirt…I have felt your pain.

What we do is help you by supporting your need for change.  We get to know you, your needs and desires and help you achieve your change and goals…not what We think is best, but what you need to support your life and lifestyle. 

We also realize that having a Professional Organizer in your home is very personal choice to make.  We are seeing your space, personal items and personal information.  That is why it is so important that our clients understand that confidentiality is the top priority of every Professional Organizer.  No personal information is ever shared.  We do, however, find value in before and after pictures.  Not just for our personal portfolios but for our clients as well.  This helps them remember how life “used to be” and that they never want to live like that again.  It helps keep things in perspective…life is a series of events and how we act and react to them can determine and affect our daily lives.  Being organized helps make the decisions easier and take away the stress and chaos of each day. 

Consider hiring a Professional Organizer to help you through your daily chaos and overwhelm.  Services can be hands-on or virtual…via the phone or skype.
