Melissa is amazing. We spoke on the phone and she immediately understood what I needed, whether by me telling her, or her sensing it. She just knew! She then came to the house to see the garage, which is what I needed to organize after a move, prompted partly by the passing away of my partner. She truly honors the name she’s given the company. She is compassionate, she actively listens and she is quick to understand the needs (even if the customer is not fully aware of them!). I am so happy with the work she did, and I feel like a huge weight was lifted by just having everything organized and be able to park my car without thinking I’m going to hit something with it! Thank you, Melissa!!

I hired Melissa to organize a large storage closet for me. She was friendly and made me feel like I was in good hands. She got the work done in less time than originally estimated and kept me involved just as much as I wanted. I will definitely hire her again for other areas of my home!

Melissa was amazing! after working with Melissa, for the first time in my life, I had more space than items in my kitchen. And we did that without getting rid of a lot. She created organization systems that made perfect sense, but I never would’ve thought of myself. Before our work I was constantly looking for things - and she organized my drawers and cabinets in a way that now I know which drawer or which cabinet things are likely in. She also completely transformed my little desk area in my dining room room. I felt like I never had enough space there and kept the office items in several places because I did not have room with my dining room items in the cabinet nearest by. It was almost magical how much space opened up for easy access to everything I need to work in that small space while still keeping my dining room items there. Most of all, Melissa is incredibly easy and kind to work with. There is a fear,, and pride factor, allowing someone into your mess. But she brings a positive outlook and zero judgment. She listened, and helped you make thoughtful decisions instead of telling me what to do. She understands that organizing is personal and different for each one of us I’m already looking forward to having her back to attack different areas of the house! I highly recommend her. If you are even wondering how you would begin a project to get your house in a better place, reach out to Melissa – don’t hesitate because you don’t know where to begin, she will guide you :)

I am a very hard-working professional, and I find that I was chronically disorganized. I pride myself on my organization in certain areas, namely, computer files, etc., but I was horrified to understand exactly how disorganized I was in my physical life. I had collected clutter and momentos from my former life which threatened to overwhelm me. In no way did I take into account the impact these had on my mental health and my ability to remain productive. Melissa has been a godsend. She came in and didn’t try to sell anything, but calmly walk me through some of the decisions that I made and some of my thought patterns which had led me to a place of over abundance. She laid out a plan for how she might help me and was not pushy at all. She gave me a week or so to think about it, and when I was ready, I reached out and she came in to my home and worked a miracle. My main areas of growth involved my closet, my bedroom, and my kitchen pantry. These are places where I spend a lot of time and which were causing me a lot of stress which I didn’t realize until after I completed our intake process. I never felt judged, I always felt supported, and I remain grateful to her for her help. I heartily recommend her services and urge everyone to take the leap into a more organized life.
