Inspiring Organization: Home Organizing & Decluttering

I was lucky enough to spend two days with Jessica, and not to be dramatic, but she changed my life. For years I suffered from major depression and things in my room and closet got out of hand. Once I was on the right meds and was feeling better my adhd made me feel so overwhelmed with the mess I had that I would freeze and avoid. It seemed too big. I didn’t think it would be possible to have a tidy, organized space, and at that point I didn’t think I I deserved it. Nothing had a place, clothes were piled everywhere and I felt completely ashamed and defeated. Jessica changed all of that. Candidly, I was extremely embarrassed to get her help but I was encouraged to go for it. I am so incredibly happy that I did! Jessica was so understanding and encouraging and it didn’t feel at all that she was judging me and my mess. She made me feel at ease and ready to get to work. Jessica has a gift for taking a massive project and breaking it down into small, manageable tasks. I had a room, closet and bathroom that were full of stuff I didn’t need. It was so freeing to get rid of it all! Now I feel a sense of peace when I’m in my space. My brain doesn’t feel overwhelmed anymore because everything I own has a place, and I know where everything goes. The piles are gone, the clutter is gone, the chaos is gone. I didn’t fully grasp the daily toll it was taking on me until it was gone. Now I have such a sense of calm. If any of this sounds familiar to you, take the leap and get Jessica’s help! You will be so happy that you did! She is so incredible at what she does and I will never be able to thank her enough. She gave my anxious, overwhelmed, adhd brain a break, and she helped me to gain back the confidence that I had lost long ago, one organized space at a time.

I cannot explain what a game changer it was hiring Jess. We’d been drowning under clutter without a system for containing or streamlining things since we’d moved in more than a year ago. Rather than spending time enjoying our new home, we were just triaging things, hiding away the mess and doing our best to make things feel somewhat neat and contained. We hired Jess for three sessions (laundry room, kitchen, pantry). During our first session in our laundry room, she not only helped us work through a year’s worth of stuff in what had become our catch-all space, but she also taught us tips and tricks for purging things we don’t need. We were inspired by that first session and put what she taught us into practice before our next two sessions. By the time she came we had managed to purge so much that our house started to feel like a home. And because Jess guarantees the time purchased and not just the spaces discussed, in the two sessions blocked off just for our kitchen and pantry, Jess managed to work through THREE additional spaces with us with time to spare. It feels like a new house. Before she left we knew we had to book her for another session to tackle our last big hurdle, and I am so excited to get started. I cannot overstate how much you get by booking with Jess. You not only get her help while she’s there, you gain skills that will help you keep things organized moving forward. Plus she makes recommendations, supplies the organizers she thinks will work best, and reuses what you already have to maximize the value. Her sessions are worth every penny.

If you’re ready to make a change in your home but are overwhelmed by the project and don’t know where to start, Jess is your girl! I was totally amazed by how much we were able to get done in our time together each day. And the final transformation was incredible! In just seven days, we were able to touch every item in my house and either give it a home or get it out for good. Jess hauls away your donations (and there were A LOT of them) at the end of each day, which is a game changer. She also makes the process painless. She helped me feel empowered to keep the things I wanted to keep and also gave me the nudge I needed when she could tell that I was ready to let something go but was struggling to do so. The transformation in my home and its lasting impacts are amazing. Now when things start to pile up again, I don’t feel overwhelmed because I know that everything has a place to be put away. Also, it’s easier to let things go. But it doesn’t stop there. Getting unstuck in my home helped me get unstuck in other areas as well. I was able to call and make appointments that I had been putting off for months! When I needed to pack the family for vacation, it was easier than ever because all the laundry was clean and put away instead of in various piles around the house. I was able to have a birthday party here for one of my kids for the first time ever, and the time it took to clean in preparation was a couple of hours versus a couple of days. I’ve been able to have a babysitter regularly (another first) without feeling like I need to do a major overhaul on my house before she comes. I could go on! It’s taken me a while to write this review because I feel I don’t have the words to truly express how impactful Jess and her process and presence have been for my life. I’m not sure that anything I say will do an adequate job of expressing my gratitude, but hopefully this review gives you an idea of why I recommend Jess with such enthusiasm. She is so easy and enjoyable to work with. I would not have been able to accomplish what we accomplished together without her. And I am forever grateful!
