    I have used Emily at Ripple Effect for moving. It was a horrendous exercise and involved not only the sorting and packing up but also the unpacking and arranging. It took a number of sessions over an extended period of time. I found Emily to be really superbly organized, efficient and strong where "muscle" was required. I could never have done this move without her.

    I have worked with Emily at Ripple Effect Organizing for the past two years. First let me say that I am a very good organizer; so asking someone to help me sort, categorize, and decide to donate or discard over 20 years worth of ‘treasures’ was a big step for me. I am so pleased to have found Emily to help me do just that – and more. We organized the fabric and sewing closet in the first visit. That one session showed me the work that I really needed to do: decide to let go of outdated stuff to which I was emotionally connected – most of which did not serve me anymore. That is where Emily has been my support system: listening to the stories about the stuff as I placed things in ‘keep, donate, or decide later’ piles; understanding that for some things I was not ready to let them go and letting that be OK; and then reorganizing what we had done before to maximize space even more. Emily is fast and effective, a compassionate listener, and an excellent collaborator. We have developed a very easy work style, tempered by generous doses of good humor and laughter. Together we have reorganized the built-in dining room cubbies and the hutch; the two large walk-in closets (now one is clothing/shoes/accessories, and the other is projects/paperwork/exercise gear), the outdoor shed, the storage bench inside the front door, and the other drawers, cabinets, and cupboards inside the house. The nicest thing is: there is clutter-free logical placement of items, not just neatness and tidiness. And we did this with almost no expense for extra storage equipment, bins, or closet systems. Together we devised ways to use what I already had. I am a very happy customer, and will continue to use Emily/Ripple Effect Organizing whenever organizing is part of the work I must do.
