Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I help my clients get organized via regular, virtual sessions. Together we have organized closets, purged paper and set up filing systems, decluttered kitchens, and more! Here are some of the benefits: - It's less invasive. - You have more control! I see only what you want me to see. - Since we focus on one area at a time, there is less distraction. - It works well for people with ADD (we hyperfocus together). - Since you are physically doing the work yourself, you build sustainable skills and habits much quicker. - Coaching is integrated with accountability for homework in between (if you want it). - It's perfect for digital organizing since we can share screens through Zoom. - The financial commitment is smaller. - Convenient scheduling.

Here is some clarification: Consulting: When I am working as an organizer, I am in the role of a consultant providing expert advice. I make recommendations about what to keep, what to let go of, and how to store and display what is kept. Organizing emphasizes the past, present, and future. We work on improving the functionality of systems and spaces, so you can manage your things, time, and projects. Although licensing and certification are not required, I am a Certified Professional Organizer (NAPO) and hold specialist certificates in Workplace Productivity, Residential Organizing, and Life Transitions. Counseling/Therapy: Therapy emphasizes the past, present, and sometimes, the future. Here, the focus is on improving mental health (cognitive and emotional capabilities, functioning in relationships and society, and meeting the demands of everyday life). Therapists have different approaches and specialties. Licensing is required, and psychotherapists are extensively trained before working independently. Coaching: Coaching, on the other hand, is a collaborative process and emphasizes the present and future. In this role, I don’t tell you what you should do, but I support you as we explore possibilities, gain perspective and arrive at your own solutions. We start by identifying where you are and exploring your values and goals. Then we work on shifting you to a place of confidence and competence: your potential. We get there through focus and accountability. The process can be a very empowering tool for change. Although licensing and certification are not required, I am in an intensive two-year coaching certification program and expect certification in 2019. I look forward to helping you clear the clutter, calm the chaos, and bring order to your life!

Barbara has been helping me regularly for almost a year now. She has helped tremendously with a variety of types of organizing and coaching. For example, we created an entire file system for all paperwork; we organized closets and clothing; we researched products to purchase; we sorted through papers and belongings of a relative who passed away; we discussed business projects... and much more. Barbara has a wide variety of skills in many different fields (technology, business, coaching, research, organization, relationships and more!). As much progress has been made in organizing a life that was overwhelming, I am now transitioning to work with Barbara on entrepreneurial projects which she can help me organize and stay on track for productivity. I highly recommend Zen Your Den for all kinds of projects: personal, professional, home, office, short/long-term goals and future planning!

If only I would have hired Zen Your Den sooner! I can think in my home now and I have a plan to tackle the situation of clutter that creeps up on all of us. Barbara was professional and personal, and easy to work with. She made it easy for me to organize not only my things but my life, and make me happier! I learned so much, so it is a good "life" investment especially for new homeowners and newlyweds. Zen Your Den is worth every penny!

Thank you for the kind words, Mary! Sometimes it's good to have support to tackle hidden areas that are being avoided, whether it's a crammed file cabinet, cluttered 'guest' room or a garage. My goal is to empower you with skills to continue with the process, so I'm happy to hear that you have learned something too. For that, you get a gold star!!! ⭐

Barbara was one of the few organizers whom we reached out to that didn't just give us a canned pitch or follow-up email. No, she actually took the time to address -- prior to us hiring her -- our main questions. Barbara helped in getting us 'over-the-hump' with our home. We were already relatively organized and felt we knew what needed to be done... but I guess we'd just begun to procrastinate on fully applying a system for organization that maximized our 'flow'. Barbara helped us be more decisive about whether or not we "needed" to have certain areas the way they were. In one, 4-hour block we were able to transform our walk-in closet, master bathroom (my wife's stuff in the cabinets), and nearly complete our kitchen system. We would recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a little help finalizing their own home system. Another thing that stood out by using Barbara was her awareness towards repurposing some of the stuff that we already had.

Thank you so much, Dustin. I enjoyed working with you and your wife. Your energy made it possible to get a LOT done in a relatively short amount of time! And who knew a cord cover could be repurposed to create a lip at the end of a tilting shelf :) It's always fun to work with clients to find creative solutions with what they already have!

I’m a single mother with two boys in the house ages 7 & 2. My life had become cluttered and chaotic, so I reached out for someone to help get me organized. Barbara at Zen your Den has been fabulous. We started in the kitchen and are working on bedrooms. I’ve already noticed a difference in mealtime and morning flow. I’ll post before and after pics when we finish. She is so great to work with, has great tips, listens to my individual needs and is very patient. It has been worth every penny!
