Ruth is the most professional clutter specialist. Her knowledge of what systems to utilize has made decluttering my home extremely easy. Tremendous capacity for work. She is also excellent at gauging your energy level and adjusts accordingly. I have had three strokes and she has made this job fly! I recommend her unreservedly.

Ruth was incredible. She never made me feel embarrassed or ashamed of the STUFF my husband and I had accumulated over 20+ years together (we met and married in our 40s), but was understanding and compassionate, especially regarding things to which I was emotionally attached. She challenged me (in a good way) to justify whether or not I really needed to keep something going forward, especially things that hadn't been used since we moved into this house 15 years ago. But at the same time she never pressured me to get rid of anything. She merely made me THINK about what I wanted my life to be like going forward, which was an excellent thing
I never met anyone as hardworking as Ruth is, either. The amount of work she and her helper, Alex, accomplished in a few sessions was mind boggling. They got me organized and ready for my upcoming move in such a way that it'll be a breeze when I go to unpack in my new home.
Ruth was also excellent at a) recognizing what something might be when I was clueless; b) knowing where to dispose of such things as ewaste, rags, and other assorted textiles; c) what was recyclable; and d) places that would take donations that might otherwise have ended up in a landfill (something I dreaded).
I highly recommend Enliven Home and Designs for their professionalism, honesty, work ethic, and work quality. My only regret is that I didn't hire them months ago, but instead tried to do things on my own. (Not only would the work have been back-breaking, but I could never have been firm enough with myself in jettisoning things I neither wanted nor needed.)
Unconditionally five-star service!

Ruth was very helpful! She rolled up her sleeves and began organizing our items after we moved in, and gave helpful tips along the way. Would definitely recommend her work if you need someone who can dig in and help clear the clutter!

Ruth has been a great help to organizing our household. We work full time and we have two kids under 5, I needed someone who would do most of the work. Ruth takes great initiative. I only had to be involved in letting her know what I wanted to keep versus donate. Ruth gave me direction into what should be donated and I donated a lot more than I would have on my own. She organized my closet, garage, office and linen closet. Now that we are “social distancing” she has helped me with tasks that I can’t find time to do such as: purchasing and putting together a standing desk, finding UV curtains/rod for my office and Space planning my work office. She is also going through my online pictures, selecting good options and creating a nice wall display. She is trustworthy and honest.
