Clients are typically surprised at how much calmer and lighter they feel after reaching their organizing goals. They also remark on how motivated they feel to tackle their next big project. Given the personal nature of this work, I am grateful to the following individuals for sharing their experiences:
"I had an office full of papers and all sorts of supplies. I always kept them because I believed that one day I would need them. During the years my office became full of all sorts of documents and tiny things that I stopped using. Either I didn't know that I had them or it was so frustrating to see all those piles of papers that it was difficult to find what I was looking for. So, I left "to do" items for later or looked for a resource in more organized places such as the library or the internet. Or I bought new supplies or printed out new documents rather than looking if I already had them by any chance.
I used to take a day off every six months to clean my office. By that time, I wasn't even using the room as my office anymore. My office became my storage. It was really frustrating to see how much space the endless supplies took up. It was always at the back of my head that one day I would turn my room into my working space again, and that day never came until I met Judith.
Before I met Judith, I didn't really know that implementing and learning organizing skills would help me to turn my office into space where I could work again. And I was living like that for almost two decades, believing that taking the time every once in a while to throw away some things would stop this endless mess. But I really wanted to make my life easier, more optimized and move away from the unnecessary clutter. When Judith started to work with me I was able to break free from things I didn't need any more. And by sorting and organizing techniques that I learned, I have all the things that I need to keep in places where I can always find them.
After I finished the program with Judith I couldn't believe that I finally got the office that I always wanted, as the place where I want to work. I got to learn the new habit of organizing and now I use these habits in all the areas of my life. Working with a professional organizer helped me to optimize the quality of both my every day and my business way of life. I'm now able to use organizing skills on my own with kitchen utensils, computer files, and even my time. What I learned from Judith is definitely something that I'll be able to use for life for sure.
The most that I learned was how my brain was working which helped me to understand why I was doing things in the way that I did. Understanding that helped me to turn my habits into my advantage and now I know what to do when I'm not ready to let things go and how to maintain a healthy attitude towards things that I need and thing that I don't really need. Keeping things organized lets me to focus on the tasks that I truly love and enjoy."

"Judith is exactly the kind of person you want on your team whether you are tackling a chaotic mountain of stuff or a desk full of paper. She is efficient, energetic and non-plussed by the inevitable challenges that arise. Her optimism is contagious; it repeatedly carried me forward into the days beyond our sessions. After fifteen years of trying to clear out my stuff, I am finally in the clear, owing in no small way to Judith’s assistance."

“I hired Judith to help me purge over 50 years of accumulated belongings, from books to clothing, to professional materials, to memorabilia. As I was moving from a one bedroom apartment to a small three bedroom house with a roommate, I needed to downsize my belongings.
From the beginning of our project, Judith remained focused, professional and competent. She asked pertinent questions concerning what I wanted to discard, donate, or keep. Questions that I would not have though of myself. Her advice was always couched in non-threatening, nonjudgmental terms, so that I knew I could take her suggestions or not, and she would always listen objectively. One of the many things I liked about Judith was that she had so many resources at her fingertips – e.g., she knew off the top of her head which charities would pick up large items for donation, or where and when to advertise selling items on line – not only on eBay, but on four or five other websites. A true godsend for those of us who do not feel comfortable online.
Judith is always punctual, always giving excellent, respectful service. I would recommend Judith to anyone who needs to reorganize, review, reprioritize their belongings. Actually, just recently, I recommended Judith to a close friend of mine who will be working with her to purge his entire condo. He is looking forward to beginning this sometimes arduous process.
I have said many times that Judith has truly kept me sane, focused, and minimally stressed. I highly recommend Judith.”

“While I was pregnant in 2014, I recruited Judith's services in helping me organize all the new things I had for the baby on the way. She did a superb job of helping me with not only the day to day things, which she sorted and categorized in very simple but practical ways, she also helped me sort through all my existing closets, prioritize and discard things I had no need for any longer. Due to her excellent demeanor she is very easy to work, she has impeccable style and is very empathetic by always making sure we were working together on the decisions. I strongly feel she has the personality to make you feel comfortable when using her services in your personal space, I highly recommend her and look forward working with her again in the future.”

“Judith helped me realize the potential of my living space. And because of that, I can honestly say that my quality of life has improved immeasurably.
I had accumulated many years worth of belongings, memories from a past long-term relationship, and old habits around my home that I was ready to part with. Judith assisted me with this difficult transition, bringing enthusiasm, relentless energy and incredible focus to rejuvenate my living space, releasing it from the stale, somber energy that had been hanging around all the piles of "stuff" I had stored throughout the years. With the right level of "tough love", Judith guided me through difficult choices about what should stay and what should go, all the while remaining sensitive to any mental fatigue I experienced after hours of decision making.
What I had believed to be a seemingly insurmountable project soon quickly became more manageable as Judith helped me tackle room by room, breathing new life into each one. Getting rid of old stuff really helped lift my mind and spirit, creating more mental and physical space in my life -- a much needed clearing. Judith even helped me direct each outgoing box to a better home, donating it or recycling it as appropriate, which I felt great about. In addition to the physical transformation of my living space, Judith also taught me more efficient ways of organizing my kitchen, saving me time and energy every day for other things.
Without hesitation, I highly recommend Judith for your organizing needs. She is a top notch professional, has a genuine passion for her job and for helping people, is empathetic, and is a true pleasure to work with and be around. Thank you, Judith for everything you've done!”
