Grace To Organize

We offer two kinds of consultations. One is virtual through Zoom, or you can do an in-person consultation for a small fee.

Consultations are optional, and are based on the preference of the client. We can show up and declutter and organize any space without too much info beforehand. But, of course you may want to share some info before we come, and we totally understand! During the consultation we will first of all have a goal of listening thoroughly. We want to know what’s important to you, what you’ve tried before that has worked or has not, and what your lifestyle is like (Every client and space is unique) We are also looking to make suggestions that stand out to us. For example: Have you thought of adding another shelf here? Or, maybe if you moved your desk here it would open up this space for your printer. We are problem solvers at heart! By the way, if you do book a consult we love meeting your family, pets, and kids and please don’t worry about cleaning up first. We are happy to see your home just as it is day-to-day, your job is not to impress us! We are non-judgmental and are meeting you with eyes of GRACE!

First of all, we will be asking you about the areas of your home that bother you the most, so we know where to start. 

However, we want you to know that we are extremely flexible. You can change your mind in between the consult and our first session, or even DURING the session. You have complete freedom to say “You know what? This space is actually much more manageable now, and I feel like I can handle the rest alone, let’s move on to ____ space and see what we can get done there” 

85% of the time, we work side-by-side with our clients. This is for two reasons. ONE- We will never decide for you if you should or shouldn’t keep something, our job is to coach you if and when you get stuck on an item. TWO- Organizing is a creative process, and can require some trial and error and conversation. We might ask you questions like: How do you use this? How often? Who else in your home uses it? This collaboration helps us offer suggestions that will work for YOU and YOUR family. After all, you have to live with the system we set up and we want to know more about you and your lifestyle! 

We can work solo in organizing almost any space, as long as you know that about 90% of it is stuff you want to keep. As we go through, we would set aside items that look like trash or donate, or maybe they look like they belong elsewhere in home (example: a screwdriver in the pantry) Speaking of pantries, we would also set aside expired food. And, then we will either leave it for you to sort through, or before we leave we can look at it together. We will also give you a tour of the space before we leave, or in the case where you’re not there (yes, some clients leave us in their house to organize while they are away), We would try to send you video or picture updates and notes on items that we had questions about. We also tell our clients, “If you can’t find something, please ask and we will tell you where we put it” 

100%! You are paying us for our time, but also for our experience in organizing, We are happy to offer any suggestions we can for systems, tools, and supplies you may want/need to make your life easier. However, we want you to know that we are frugal at heart, which means we are looking for opportunities to use things you ALREADY HAVE. In some cases, we find things that were going to be tossed that can be useful in a new way. Again, organizing is about trial and error and CREATIVITY, we are happy to share with you any of our right-brained thoughts as we conversate throughout the consult or the sessions!

We are also happy to do research for you, and send you links of items you can buy. 

Ummm, no! Almost every client we have, has at some point asked this or a similar question and we like to tell them: There is no “worst” space. There is NO grade or scale of organization, in our eyes. There are always improvements to be made. Grace often says “even I would benefit from hiring an organizer” Why? Because there are always ways to make a space better! You are not the worst we’ve seen, and we don’t want to you to have a false impression of others’ homes. We have been in about 500 clients spaces over the last 7 years. and not ONE of them stands out as the “worst”. Keeping in mind that almost every client we have feels overwhelmed, you can take comfort in knowing you’re not alone in needing support. You may see chaos, and overwhelm but we SEE POTENTIAL and we get excited about your spaces! 

No, what I have is a natural gift that I love sharing. I remember being 4 years old and sorting in my Grandma’s pantry. I have ALWAYS loved organizing, and as you can imagine over my 33 years of life I have just gotten better and better at it. 

All my life I thought I wanted to be a school teacher, I was in community college working on my Associates degree and felt like God led me to drop my classes. I did, and then I felt like He told me to go to Bible College. I spent 2 years at Charis Bible College, just for the personal growth of it. I had no plans to go into ministry or make a career out of my time there. I was getting ready to graduate and having a WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE sort of moment. My mentor at the time said, “Make a Facebook page for anything you’re good at” So, I made a childcare page, and an organizing page and within 1 month I had two friends reach out saying, “I didn’t know you knew how to organize!” One of those clients was my best friend’s Mom that I had known for 15 years. She lives in Denver, so I had an hour drive home from our session and the WHOLE way home, I was realizing… this is what I was made for. I actually had this thought during that drive “You’ve been hoarding your gift for organizing” WHOA! I thought about my life, and how the only times I ever organized were for ME, or at my workplaces (just to pass the time, and again, because I enjoy it) But, it never occurred to me that I could help others. I also, at the time was not very aware that other people don’t like organizing, or they don’t know how to do it. The funny thing about having a natural gift, is you assume other people have it too. I started my business officially in September of 2017, and have seen the need for my services more and more. I am so grateful that I get to share my gifts, do what I love and get paid for it! Have you thought about what you’re naturally good at lately? You may be able to share it with the world!

The short answer for this question is “Any space that has stuff!” We have organized pantries, kitchens, garages, crawl spaces, storage areas, kids play areas, offices, junk drawers, utility rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, even cars! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re not sure if your space qualifies for an organizing session! Our answer will most likely be, “We can do it!”
