Whether you're embracing Swedish death cleaning, downsizing in preparation for a move, or cleaning out a loved one's home, you're taking on an enormous project that will likely feel overwhelming at times. Some people struggle to know where to begin, while others start projects with a lot of enthusiasm that wanes partway through when things look worse than they did in the beginning. Getting help from a professional can provide the emotional support, peace of mind, and physical assistance you need to see a challenging project through to the end.
As a librarian and archivist, my goal with any decluttering or reorganizing project is to make spaces better for the people using them, which first requires cultivating a deep understanding of who those people are and what they need. My flexible packages and a la carte services are designed to support you in a variety of ways that suit your specific needs, from working with you to develop a personalized progress plan to cleaning and organizing alone or with you in one-on-one sessions.
Do you need a supportive cheerleader who checks in occasionally while you do your own thing? Do you need a hands-on coach to give you firm guidance and reality checks about specific items? Do you just need another set of hands to help you sort through a mess as quickly as possible? I'm here to support you and can take on whatever role you need from me!
Best if you need help assessing a project's scope, getting started, or making consistent progress over time. Can either be booked as a standalone package for those planning to work mostly on their own or along with the Helping Hands package for those who need extra assistance.
