CONCERNS OF MY CLEAN SLATE VILLAGE

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed & anxious about facing your burdens. A true clean slate might feel like a million miles away. I am here to soothe your troubled heart & cluttered space.

 

I can’t do this alone.

You are not alone.

I’m here for you. I am here to listen to your fears and concerns, your goals and objectives. Together we’ll come up with a plan that works for you, your schedule and your budget. Together we’ll work, one shelf, one box, one bin at a time. Together we’ll make progress. Together we’ll make your vision a reality.

Is this the worst you’ve seen?

It’s never the worst I’ve seen.

The answer is an adamant and passionate "no." As an experienced residential, business, and event organizer (going on 17 years), I have seen it all. I promise you, I‘ve seen worse. And, I’ll let you in on a little secret, when I look at a new space, I see not what it currently is, but what it can become. I consider it simultaneously an occupational hazard and a blessing that I only see what it will be!

 

Are you going to make me get rid of my stuff?

No pressure.

I won’t pressure you to get rid of your items. I’ll talk to you about the best way to honor your valued memories and best practices for maximizing your space. I’ll give you storage ideas and suggest ways to make your life more productive. I‘ll assist in creating your dream and vision. In some cases, this might involve removing items from your home. In other cases, it may involve organizing your possessions so that your life and space is more functional.

It will never last.

I’ll teach you to maintain your clean slate.

This is a valid concern. Yes, what if we get it all organized, even Pinterest-perfect, and then you can’t maintain the space? Let’s chat about that… During our time together I’ll do several things: I’ll set up systems that are simple, a system where every item has one home, one resting place. Next, I’ll make sure that these systems make sense and work for your habits, aesthetic, and lifestyle. Then, I’ll set up a maintenance schedule so that you can address the stuff that flows through your house. And finally, if you need additional support, I can come back periodically (once a month, once a quarter, once a year) to help you return to ground zero.

 

What if it costs too much?

We’ll find the right SOLUTION for you.

I charge by the hour, so naturally, if it takes a long time, then the cost will be higher. But consider this… how long did it take you to accumulate all the stuff in your house? Five years? 10 years? 30 years? If it has taken you 30 years to gather all of your stuff, then it may take some time to assess their value in your life and make some decisions. If you are concerned about budget, I can provide “homework” that you can do between sessions. And if you join the Clean Slate Village and sign up for my monthly newsletter, you will get 10% off your first session and a monthly discount offer. 

Do you have any before & after photos?

Definitely. Send me a request via email.

Who doesn’t love a good before and after? Please reach out to request photos of my work and what could be done in your space.

Will you stick with me to the end?

You are never alone.

I’ll stick with you to the end, until we can create your life of simplicity and peace.
