Introduction: There are a lot of great organizers out there. Many of us are passionate about what we do and we do it with excellence. This means, people have choices! So what will you get if you decide to choose me? Someone who is passionate about what they do and that I will do it with excellence! My goal is not to come in with a bunch of great ideas, but to come in with a bunch of great ideas that are realistic and tailor made to work for you and your lifestyle. When I leave your home or office, I want you to feel confident in all of the work that we did and that you feel that value has been added to your life because of it. The people! I am always amazed when I work alongside of clients as they put forth effort to take control back of the spaces they live, work, and play in. Watching and assisting as they reclaim a manageable lifestyle, by removing the barriers that have been holding them back or keeping them weighed down, not only encourages me, it re-enforces my love for this profession.

Michele is amazing! I was looking for some help cleaning up our homeschool room. Even though we use the space daily for several hours, I knew there had to be a way to keep it from being an eyesore the remaining hours of the day. When she came over to assess the space, she revealed the need to implement systems that would not only keep that room organized, but help the flow of the rest of the house as well. My husband and our 2 boys are just as happy with the results as I am! And as an added bonus- the kids actually want to spend more time there! Not only would I recommend Michele's services to anyone looking for help, but I look forward to working with her on additional projects! ~Amber Aldie, VA

The time and money we invested through the ICU Organized team has paid ENORMOUS dividends!!! A few months ago, we hired the team to overhaul our entire 4-level Capitol Hill row house. We have three kids and a ton of STUFF! Michele and her team worked tirelessly and strategically to help us find an appropriate place for everything we need, get rid of what we didn't need, and create efficient systems to keep our home ordered and neat. I cannot tell you the peace that brought into our lives!! Michele was a joy to work with and full of positive effective solutions...even for tight spaces. Last month, we moved to NW DC and our investment paid out again...big time! Because our home was 'clutter free' and organized to the nines, moving was a BREEZE! Our rooms, closets, and spaces were organized, labeled and ready to pack, transport, and set up in our new place in a FRACTION of the time it would've taken if we hadn't hired ICU Organized earlier. I can't recommend them enough!!! I'm DEFINITELY going to be a repeat customer!!

We hired Michele to do an assessment of our children's department based on her background in child development and training. She went above and beyond as she provided us with practical organization designed specifically for children, assisted in creating inviting and functional classrooms and even gave our teachers tips to help with child guidance! Our department would not run as smoothly and successfully as it does without the creativity and pure genius that Michele brought to the team! THANK YOU!!

WOW!! i didn't know the difference a professional organizer would make!! Michele came in and helped overhaul our entire 3-story house - kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, storage - EVERYTHING!! She was timely, creative, persevering, understanding, and a pleasure to work with! I'd HIGHLY recommend her for any project - large or small! Our entire family has benefitted from her skill and services!

Michele was a God send! Our organization has been growing at a rapid pace and with the addition of people and responsibilities, things were getting somewhat chaotic. Michele quickly assessed our organizational needs and brought the chaos into order. The rest of the year is very busy, but thanks to Michele's expertise and skill, the office now has systems in place to remain organized."

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fee is $65 per hour with a 4 hour work day minimum. Most projects can be done in this amount of time. For larger projects I have 5-15% discount packages available. On occasion, I offer reduced rate specials. (Reduces rate specials may not be used in conjunction with discount packages.) I also offer new customer and referral incentives. Ask me for details.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, it all begins with a 1 hour consultation at the clients house. Sometimes this consultation is done over the phone and the client sends me pictures via email or text. The consultation helps me to get a good feel for what a client is looking for, what is already working for them, and what they would like to see changed. Once a decision is made to move forward, the client signs an agreement for the estimated hours and a work day is scheduled. Thats when I go to work planning. Some clients like to be involved in this process more than others and some dont. Clients at this point, let me know if they have a budget for organizing materials or not and if they need me to shop for them or not. I then show up at the appointed time, discuss what we will be doing, and then we get started. Payment is due at the end of each work session/day and then I graciously ask for a review.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Some of the biggest contributions to my training as an organizer, was the hands on training and experience I received, from being a mother, a business owner, and a college instructor. Having real life opportunities for application, have proven helpful when I embarked on an organizing career. This training provided insight into family dynamics, environments and how they affect us, strategies for reducing stress, and much, much more. I have also taken courses for organizing to enhance the knowledge base that I already have. I am a member of the Preferred Organizer community where I both mentor and receive mentoring. I am a lifelong learner and believe whole-heartedly that we never stop learning, and that it is important for me to stay active in and accountable to the professional organizing community to continue to offer quality service and care to who seek out my services.
