I worked with Karen on two occasions - once to organize my basement and a second time to organize and file papers ranging 5 years! Both, overwhelming projects! Karen is, simply put, amazing and here's why: She arrived on time. (I've worked with an organizer who always arrived late!). She was fast (pretty unbelievable what she can get done in a matter of a few hours. You have to experience it, to comprehend it). She created systems tailored for "me" that "I" can use to stay organized. As a result, I feel empowered. She was very considerate of anything I want to hold on to. She helped me make decisions when I was torn about whether to keep or discard items. Above all, her absolutely non judgmental attitude and friendly demeanor, made working together so much fun! My money was well utilized and the sense of relief that Karen brought, also made it so worthwhile.
Description of Work: Helped with organizing garage, basement, and filing not done from 5 years

Just listing all the things she has helped me with in only 3 visits goes to show how amazing this woman is. She works so efficiently that she turns what seems like a day long project into a few short hours. She talks you through making decisions on whether to keep or let go of your belongings. She is not pushy but rather educates you on the importance of scaling back to truly enjoy those belongings that mean the most. This truly is the best money I have ever spent. When you finish working with her you feel as though a huge weight has been lifted. Projects that we put off for years because they were just too overwhelming were tackled by Karen with enthusiasm and grace. She inspires you and gives you the tools to keep organizing and purging long after she has gone. I feel so fortunate to know her. My family is much happier now that they never have to go searching for something because everything is "in its place". Thanks Karen for making my home the happiest and most efficient space it can be. I look forward to working with you many more times in the future.
Description of Work: This is the third time I have worked with Karen. She has organized my attic, my master closets, my linen/toiletries closet, my bathroom, my pantry, my husband's office and my husband's tool/work bench.

Karen was amazing. She has a great ability to look at a big mess and to quickly identify ways to group items that will be useful and easy to access. She has limitless energy and when I start to feel overwhelmed by the task, she just steadily moves ahead until, suddenly things are in order. I have worked with Karen on at least 5 occasions in the past year or so. She has helped me organize my kitchen, my bedroom closets, drawers and bathroom. She has even helped me with office organization and setting up a filing system. What had seemed like daunting tasks to me are, stunningly, completed in just hours. In addition to being clear-thinking and effective, she is also nonjudgemental about my mess and fun to work with.
Description of Work: She came to my house and helped me organize my storage room. It was packed and a little bit gross.

As I previously mentioned Karen is extremely professional, efficient and delightful. She is equally helpful whether or not you are moving, cleaning an attic, closet, garage or office. She can make a tedious job seamless. I have recommended her to all my friends who have had the same fantastic experience.
Description of Work: Karen did a phenomenal job at organizing my photos, closet, office and garage. She is incredibly efficient and very reasonably priced. She is a delight to work with and her suggestions have changed my life.

I've had several appointments with Karen and she has been phenomenal! Her professionalism, endless energy and non-judgmental demeanor (who doesn't feel a bit uncomfortable showing a stranger your worst messes) make her a pleasure to work with and otherwise unpleasant tasks manageable and often enjoyable. Karen is great at working side by side with you - she really kept my stamina up when I wanted to quit - and has the ability to work alone and bring order to chaos without you. When she leaves I always think that is the best use of of time and money in terms of making me feel better - and lighter. I seriously feel better after Karen has been at my house than after a day at the spa!
Description of Work: Karen has helped me organize closets, storage rooms, my office, our play room and kitchen.
