Compassionate and no-nonsense are two adjectives that fit my experience with SOS. SOS empathizes with situations that call for a professional organizer and builds trust so that a straightforward approach to an orderly home is realized.

Stephanie was fantastic!! She is the right combination of hands-on and â you need to decide!â She worked efficiently, and both collaboratively and independently. It was so freeing to have so many unused items removed from my home and then to be left with blissful organization. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and would work with her again.

We have to have another session, which is kind of a drag because it is costly. I am happy with what has been done so far...

Stephanie is amazing. Sheâ s friendly, professional, and loves her craft! This was a Christmas gift to my sister who had recently moved to a new home and needed help with her master bedroom closet. Stephanie helped my sister purge her overload of stuff to make her closet a functional space. My sister was thrilled with her gift! Without a doubt I highly recommend Stephanie!

Stephanie started a whole-house organizing journey with me shortly after I had moved to a new apartment. I call myself a recovering pack rat and had done a lot of purging in my previous apartment, but knew there was more to be done. I was completely unprepared to see how, despite all the stuff I had purged, my belongings still overwhelmed the new space. Six weeks after the move, I was only half-unpacked, living with boxes everywhere. Stephanie and I discussed my goals and what I had done so far. When we started organizing, she gently but firmly steered me toward removing items from the space instead of focusing on minutiae that seemed important to me at the time. She was absolutely right to do so, because I had no idea HOW MUCH really lurked in all those boxes. I was also completely unrealistic in my assessment of how much time these big-picture tasks would take. We spent several sessions simply finding out what was in boxes, moving items to their proper room (which I ve learned is the first step in Zoning ), and emptying as many as we could. Stephanie has both energy and stamina; she dragged boxes and bins down the four flights of stairs again and again, long after I would have given up. Stephanie asked the right questions, always with the attitude of I want to make your space work for you. I never felt any judgement from her. Because she accepted my rationale for so many items, I learned to trust her when she suggested that it might be time to let certain things go, and often by the time of our next session, I was ready to do so. I am quite sentimental and she found creative storage/display solutions for many of my treasured items. In fact, Stephanie is a genius at creative solutions for awkward items or spaces. My new apartment was formerly an attic, so it has minimal storage and a steeply pitched roof throughout. These features presented considerable challenges to creating a livable space, but Stephanie arranged the rooms in unexpected ways, which added visual appeal and maximized space. She also sourced products (always with a mind to budget) and installed baskets, floating shelves, and hooks which utilize and beautify many of the weird little spaces. The idea of a whole-house project can seem both intensely appealing and terror-inducing, for so many reasons. If you need this sort of help, Stephanie can truly make it happen, and she will be your cheerleader and guide. Through our work together I ve achieved a relationship to my stuff that I didn t believe was possible.

I called on Stephanie for help with a wardrobe and closet organizing project at a delicate time in my life when I was ill and needed support. Her warm and grounding presence put me instantly at ease. She helped me curate and organize my entire wardrobe in such an efficient and enjoyable way that I didn't even realize how much work we had accomplished until we were done! She was able to help me make smart decisions about what I needed to keep and gently nudged me to let go of what wasn t working for me. Stephanie also showed me how to organize my closet so that I could easily find and sort my wardrobe options. I have followed her advice and method ever since. Thank you Stephanie!

I worked with Stephanie in my home office/guest room. When I moved into a new home, all of the odds and ends that didn t belong other places inevitably landed there. It was full of plastic pins piled high with papers and gadgets. I d spent hours trying to tame the mess on my own and felt like I was making no headway. I was capital T tired. When Stephanie arrived, the whole project took on a different energy. She was so unphased by the mess that I started to see it differently, too. She outlined a plan, and we began to tackle each section of the room together. She remained buoyant, focused and optimistic throughout. Her confidence and enthusiasm were so contagious that I actually enjoyed the process! She gave me a thoughtful framework to make decisions about what to keep and what to let go. Then she brought such order and beauty to the system of organization which was straight forward and easy to maintain for every single thing that stayed. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie, not just for her expertise but also because she s a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I were remodeling our kitchen and living room and needed some professional help to reorganize our kitchen and pantry, as well as with décor ideas. We had taken down the wall between the two rooms so it was crucial that everything flow together. Stephanie worked with us hand in hand to create beautiful, functional spaces that met our specific family s needs. She really listened and cared about making our space work for us, and she had so many excellent ideas. She thought of solutions that we could not see for ourselves. I'm a pretty organized person in general but Stephanie just took everything to the next level. She is a genius in creating a mood as well as a clean and organized space. She helped me across so many areas decorating, lighting, and even accessories. The girl knows where to add shelves and the little touches that transformed our space from nice to WOW! She was smart and nimble and always worked within our budget. She was never pushy about anything. Truly, she was a dream to work with. If you have any areas in need of organizing, purging, or redesigning, Stephanie is the one for you!
