Lauren Williams is clearly a top expert in her field. While my time frame was too rushed to fit…read moreinto her busy schedule, she displayed her goodness and generosity by explaining to me the whole field of uncluttering and downsizing work and even gave me some excellent references to colleagues to check out. An interaction like this underscores the community-minded potential in us humans to reach out and help one another in the spirit of: we are all in this together. Thank you, Lauren for your inspiring presence even over the phone.

I actually didn't end up working with Lauren, but had a wonderful experience. When I requested…read moreorganizational and decluttering assistance, she was extremely prompt in responding as well as hopping on a call to figure out logistics. After realizing my timeline and her schedule didn't match up, as well as noting that my project might require more than just her service, she ended up pointing me in the direction of multiple other organizers and movers that she recommends that would better suit my situation and deadline. It is extremely refreshing when professionals are willing to admit that their services might not be the right fit (mostly just due to timeline), but then also go above and beyond expectations by recommending what others might see as competitors but Lauren saw as colleagues in the business.

Rebecca is the best! I first met Rebecca in our first home when I needed help with my awkwardly…read moreshaped closet as well as closets for my husband and son. She was awesome. We worked together to design really great spaces that were beautiful and functional. She also gave me a ton of ideas on other spaces in the house and I got the organizing bug. So of course, here we are years later and we have a new home with lots of closets and Rebecca was one of the first calls I made. She came (masked and social distanced) and looked at the home before we even closed on the house! We worked together to design the new spaces and I could not be happier. She is creative innovative and budget friendly. She will work within your vision and your life. Have kiddos? No problem she gets it and can design with it in mind. I cannot recommend her enough.

They are professional, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I am so pleased with my organized spaces. They gave me direction on what items to keep and what to discard or donate. Rebecca and Lauren were a real pleasure to work with and I would continue to use them again and recommend their services to my friends and family.

We couldn't believe how efficient she is; from 10 years of utter clutter to under 3 hours, dusted and well-organized. We got our music room, meditation room, and living room back, thanks to Julia! We couldn't have renovated our kitchen without her fast, organizational skills as there was a deadline from the contractor. Closets and bathrooms were done in no time as well! She is a superhero and an inspiration, for sure! Her coaching as we went along to de-clutter was invaluable. Her kindness and non-judgmental demeanor really set our anxieties at ease.

I had used this service before and had a good experience. This time was different. After 1.5 hours,…read moreI had trouble understanding where the organizer was going with her plan, so I tried to express my needs and what I was looking for. After discussing for a while, she just left, having made more of a mess than was there before. I am including the "after" photo. Update: I got an email from the CEO threatening me for this review. It's unfortunate that her employee was upset with our appointment too. I stopped her to understand what her plan was and explain my needs, so that we weren't wasting our time. I'm sorry that my feedback hurt her feelings. My harshest feedback to her was, "I understand your piles, but I don't see how they are helpful," and "there are a lot of piles here - at some point they become superfluous." I have nothing against her employee. She seemed like a nice person. But I didn't see that her method was meaningful, and her explanation was only "this is my training" so I continued to not understand her plan, and I pressed to find out more, because I genuinely wanted her help. I tried to explain that all I wanted was someone to sit with me and say "do you need to keep this?" But she told me that her way was to make a bunch of piles, leave for 30 min so I could decide what to get rid of by myself, and then come back and put the leftovers away. I told her that if she did that, I would just feel overwhelmed and probably not do anything. So she told me she couldn't help. As she got up to leave, I even said, "ok we can do it your way. I'll try to trust you. Please don't leave me with this mess." But she left anyway. I wasn't going to even write a review until I realized she had scattered my sentimental box in an unfixable way. When I realized that, I cried. I had told her I wanted to work together, but she had refused, and if we had worked together in the first place, she wouldn't have destroyed the one thing that really mattered to me. It was a bad day for all involved. The CEO says I am a "bully" for articulating my needs, but I don't think my expectations were unreasonable. I wanted to go thru things together, and have the organizer be gently present as I made decisions about letting go. The organizer wanted to sort things herself and have me make decisions alone. Those ideologies are fundamentally at odds, so maybe it's good she left early.

Worked with them 3 times in 2019 and it made such a difference! First time we tackled organizing…read moreour kitchen to be more user friendly, the pantry (including getting rid of some embarrassingly old food), and our hallway closet of medicines, linens, and toiletries. Second time, we went through boxes and boxes of stuff that we hadn't unpacked for 2 years. I ended up donating two Honda Civics full of stuff! Lily did such an amazing job of sorting through everything I had and then culling down what I didn't need. She sat with me and provided advice for how to sort sentimental things and when to get rid of superfluous things. Most recently, we tore through the rest of the house getting rid of anything that we could in preparation for a move to a new home. WHEW! I feel 10-times lighter and am budgeting for time #4 to help organize our new home. I'd be lost without these ladies!
