How Can I Help You?

making space

Organizing

Whether we focus on a single space or your whole home, organizing sessions include a three-step process (sort, edit, organize) to help you determine what you truly need, use, and love to create a sense of calm.

In addition, we’ll happily handle donation drop-offs and shop for organizational products best suited for your space, style, and budget.

life transitions & downsizing

Move Management

There’s a reason that moving is considered one of the most stressful life events! So let me help you start fresh in your new space, unpacking and establishing great organizational systems from the get-go.

Please note that unpack projects typically require more lead time to coordinate; ideally, at least two months’ notice is appreciated!

refresh and reset

Neat ‘n Up

This service is for returning clients whose spaces could use a refresh, resetting spaces that we have previously organized. We can focus on any area of concern, update labels, implement new products, and more.

Schedule Neat ‘n Up Sessions monthly, quarterly, or any time you need it!

giving back

Give Where You Live

De-cluttering is often a big part of getting organized, and the items you no longer use may be a big help to non-profit organizations that serve those in need. I’ll help you donate items to people that can use them.

It is my mission to recycle and dispose of items appropriately and in environmentally friendly ways.

Sessions may include side by side hands-on work or creating an organizing strategy, depending on your preference and budget.

  • Hiring Jolene to help me right-size my home has greatly improved my life. Jolene helps me decide what is needed to keep and what could be given to charity. She is patient and understanding about the difficulty of letting go of lifelong possessions. She is incredibly resourceful about setting up new systems in a home office, bathrooms, closets, bedrooms, kitchens and more. Every room of my home is now more efficient. I always feel better after spending time with Jolene. Instead of fretting about clutter, I am surrounded by a calm and organized atmosphere in my right-sized home.

  • Jolene was wonderful to help me get my pantry and closet organized after a move. She encouraged me to purge items I didn't need or use and helped make everything so much more accessible. She is so patient and encouraging and made it easy. It still looks great and is easy to maintain!
    Maureen McAuliffe
  • Jolene came in each visit with a smile on her face and an encouraging word, every time. She is nonjudgmental, and understands there are emotions involved in the moving process. She has great ideas for how to purge, how to protect your items when packing, even on what to leave out for staging your house! She encouraged me when I wanted to stop for the day, and did it all with a smile. If you, or anyone you know, is preparing to move, hire Jolene to help you prep and pack your home!
    Robyn Cooper
