Common Questions
Why don’t you give estimates before starting?
Every home, and every person is different.
The time it takes to organize a space depends on many factors, including the volume of items, how full the space is, the type of belongings and how quickly decisions can be made. One person’s closet might be half full and easy to sort, while another’s may be packed floor to ceiling and require more time and emotional support.
Because organizing isn’t just about moving items, it’s about thoughtful decision-making — giving an estimate in advance often creates unrealistic expectations and unnecessary pressure.
Instead, I work at your pace and focus on making meaningful, lasting progress during each session. This ensures the process feels supportive, not rushed, and that the systems we create truly work for you.
My suggestion is that you come up with a realistic budget and we make a plan to work within that.
Do I have to buy all new bins, baskets etc?
This is totally up to the client. I will always make suggestions if I think there is something that could better serve your space. However I am very happy to reuse what you have where we can. It is up to the client if they are wanting to organize for function, aesthetic or both!
Do you clean?
Light cleaning duties of the space being organized will always be performed as long as it is in my ability and safe to do so. Everything will be wiped down and dusted before going back in.
Will you drop off my donations?
Yes! I can drop off donations, I always try and connect donated items to local places in need in order to reduce the amount that ends up in our landfills. Please note, hourly rate does apply.
Will you shop for me?
Yes! I can always source products for your home. Please note, hourly rate does apply.
Will you travel?
Yes! Please get in touch if you are not in London, ON & Middlessex County. With enough booking notice I am flexible on locations. Please note, travel fees may apply.
What does the process look like?
This is very dependant on the client and their needs. Some clients like to work along side with me, some clients prefer to be out of the house and have pictures & texts sent to make decisions. Whatever your comfort level, we will make a plan to best suit your needs. This can be discussed in a discovery call.
I might cry is that ok?
Home organizing is about a lot more than just stuff. Happy, sad, angry, frustration, despair, a client can experience a range of emotions while going through this process. It is ok to take breaks, feel our feelings and put something on hold if it becomes too much. I am here to hold your hand through the process.
Do you have any before/afters?
Yes! The best place to see my work is to follow along on Instagram. I post stories of ongoing projects and your can catch up on my highlight reels!
When is the best time to book?
The best time to book is when you feel ready. I also suggest taking into consideration your schedule. Are you busy every weekend and weeknight? Will you have time and energy to make decisions and participate to ensure progress? Every client can choose how hands on or off they want to be in the process but there will always be decisions that you or other family members will need to make.
Depending on the size of the project and your timeline I also suggest booking as many days in a row as possible. When bookings are scattered, it tends to slow down progress.
For kitchens I suggest booking a minimum of 3 days in a row (depending on the size & amount of stuff). The kitchen is usually the busiest area of the home and to leave it unfinished for too long is risking additional stress.
My home is a mess. Should I try cleaning it before you come?
Don’t touch that stuff! This is not a housekeeping service. You do not need to clean or tidy up before I come. It is actually best if I see where the mess is naturally occurring and what you are struggling with so that I can help come up with solutions. The only thing I suggest doing is having the majority of your laundry done (for closet organization), so that we know what we have to find space for. As well as dishes so that we know what has to have a home in the kitchen (for kitchen organization).
I have seen a lot of messes, a lot of stuff, a lot of postponed decisions. Life happens. Asking for help is incredibly brave and that’s what I see.
Do you only organize homes?
I organize homes, garages, businesses, Airbnbs, sheds, pool houses, cottages, rental properties, paperwork, digital files, and everything in between. If you have a unique project, get in touch, I am always up for a new challenge!
