Madelyn not only orchestrates my office, but her very presence is soothing. She is a creative problem-solver and sees both the minor details and the bigger picture. I feel blessed to have her in my life.

Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Open yourself up to transformation. It may seem like you're just moving stuff around, clearing clutter, or crossing items off a to do list, but the benefits of getting permanently organized can positively affect all areas of your life.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. The thing about organizing is that I really am not doing anything clients don't have the capacity to do on their own. Yet clients tend to turn to me when they have blocks in their life. They could be completing certain tasks, but they aren't, and that's where I come in. Hiring an organizer and assistant gives clients the support they need to tackle daunting projects with ease, and it decreases the burden of a heavy workload. My only "secret" is a firm belief in the power of simplicity in our lives. This means significantly decreasing the amount of clutter in our homes, offices, bodies, minds, and souls.
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. Prospective clients should know how far they are willing to go to make their home or workspace one in which they can truly thrive. If a client is not ready or willing to let go of some of the items or habits that are holding them back, then hiring an organizer or assistant will only go so far.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. As an organizer and an assistant I recognize that clearing space and offering administrative support to clients can often be spiritually healing. I am committed to the growth of each individual client, and I take advantage of every opportunity to help people feel more focused and productive in the midst of a hectic cultural climate.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I love seeing how quickly organization and rearrangement of clients' physical spaces can alter their whole environment. There is also a noticeable shift in energy level - a true desire to get things accomplished that is revealed once the mundane tasks are dealt with.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Clients often ask me what my services entail and there is no easy answer. I create my services to meet the specific needs of each individual client, and to this day no two clients have needed the same thing. Every working relationship has been truly unique and I have the versatility to respond honestly and energetically to every new request. I am a quick learner, but I also have the skills and experience to see what needs to be done, and know how to proceed. I like prospective clients to know that space clearing, sorting, and reorganizing of items within a space is almost always the best first step because it lays a foundation for more complex endeavors.
Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
A. I have always had an affinity for orderliness, and an ability to quickly rearrange things to create an atmosphere of peace. At an early age I realized that I could share this skill with others by breaking down seemingly insurmountable projects so that they suddenly seemed manageable.
