1.  How long will it take?

Every project is different, with unique issues and challenges.  We work together in 2, 3 or 4 hour organizing sessions to implement a 5 step organizational process.  You may choose to tackle some of those steps yourself, or work on aspects of those steps yourself.  Whatever you choose, my goal is to help you achieve a fully functional organized space.

2.  Are you going to make me throw everything away?

No.  I’m not here to make you get rid of your belongings.  I'm here to encourage you to make decisions regarding your surroundings and to evaluate your current organizing system.

3.  Will you just come in and fix it?

Sorry, but no.  Organizing is a learned skill that I want to help you master.  Your participation is necessary in order to be in control of your own surroundings.

4.  Can I hire you to help someone else?

Yes, but only with the full cooperation of that third party.  They need to see the value of becoming organized for themselves, and be willing to put the time and effort into the organizing process.

5.  How far will you travel?

I reside in North Attleboro, MA and service the Southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island areas.  I do prefer to work locally, within 30 miles of my home base, but I’ll travel up to 60 miles each way.

6.  What do you charge?

The going rate for Professional Organizers in the United States is $40 to $80 per hour, and I fall within this range.  I offer each client my knowledge, insight and skills to lead them to a successfully organized space.  Two additional benefits that I provide are a free, no obligation organizing consultation and free removal of items the client wishes to donate.

7.  What is NAPO?

I'm a current member of NAPO and an active member of the New England chapter of NAPO. (For 2011-2012 year, I'm on the Board of Directors as the Membership Director.) NAPO stands for the National Association of Professional Organizers. This nonprofit organization started in 1985 with a mission to develop, lead and promote Professional Organizers and the organizing industry.  If you’d like more information, please visit their web site at www.napo.net and www.napo-newengland.com.

8.  Will my session be confidential?

Yes.  Any information that is shared during or regarding our sessions will be kept private and confidential.  I will only use proprietary information with your permission.
