After years of lamentation and anxiety about my cluttered and disorganized home, I turned 50 and…read morelet myself ride the what-if-I-die-up-in-here-and-they-find-me-like-this momentum to at last do something about it. I reached out to Tidy LA/Meredith by recommendation of a trusted friend. Working with Meredith has had an enormous positive impact on my day-to-day life, and I notice new ways in which she's made my life easier every time I turn around. Before my first session with Meredith, I had anxiety about being judged, feeling overwhelmed, not feeling "ready" to start, and/or being compelled to buy numerous color-coded plastic containers. However, my mind was quickly placed at ease by Meredith's understanding, intuitive, and conscientious nature. She brings skill, talent, kindness, and integrity to the entire home organizing process. Meredith quickly absorbed what I needed (both in terms of my physical and mental space) and how to best achieve results while making the process productive, peaceful, and even fun. I was involved in a way that felt comfortable to me, but Meredith made everything work. Crowded furniture and box stacks and paper piles and drawers of ephemera were pulled from dust mote purgatory, exposed to air, examined and, when that inevitable midpoint "messier than when we started" state would arrive, the arc of activity in Meredith's hands would smoothly cascade toward order - reorchestrating objects and recomposing the space into something lovely, airy, and calm. As a world-class overthinker, I've covered the waterfront of on this decision. I could always come up with reasons not to get professional organizing help - all the while, the clutter remained, my home never felt livable, and the years went by. Now, walking through my house, I do double-takes in once-chaotic, depressing rooms that have been transformed into serene and functional spaces. My *only* regret around engaging Meredith's services is not having done so sooner!

Organization has never my forte. Our cluttered kitchen and storage spaces always bothered me, but I…read morenever really knew *how* to tidy up in a way that was aesthetically pleasing and sustainable. One day, I looked around and had enough! I started to research home organizers and read tons of reviews for different companies. I reached out to a couple but a call with Jenn sealed the deal. Jenn listened carefully to our needs, got an idea of what we needed, and walked me through her process. I really appreciated that she intended to come prepared with all of the organization tools she'd need, requesting measurements of my cabinets/storage spaces well in advance so she can shop for the perfect bins, etc for our spaces. She also gave me a quote and time estimate that was extremely reasonable. We decided on two days beforehand and in anticipation of all of the *stuff* we'd be clearing out, Jenn also organized a donation pickup that would come straight to our door! On the first day, Jenn arrived with her car full of storage bins. We walked her through the kitchen, showing her what items were used most frequently, how we cook, etc. Jenn was super thoughtful in the questions she'd ask to maximize the utility of our kitchen space. Throughout the day, Jenn would check in to ask about items to be thrown away, how often we use certain ingredients, etc. The end result was a beautifully organized kitchen space that was *functional*. Bonus - we could see our kitchen counters again!! The way she organized everything just made sense - she truly has a gift for this. I also wanted to note that I was working from home while Jenn was organizing in the kitchen and she was so respectful of our time and patient while I was held up on work calls. The second day went just as smoothly. We had a storage cabinet that was just an explosion of random items we couldn't find proper places for, and Jenn somehow found a way to find make sense of the mess! Can't thank Jenn enough for the magic she worked! We will definitely be calling her again to help with our closet spaces. Thank you, Jenn!

Best money spent hiring Jenn!…read more Not only is she local, but she is full service and that's what I was looking for: shops for the proper containers that fits perfectly, and sets up donation drop off in addition to decluttering, reorganizing, and labeling. She is on time, comes prepared and listens (and remembers) my needs. Her solutions go above and beyond what I could do myself. The true value is the condition in which my space is in when she leaves my home each time: I don't feel weighed down by the clutter and everything has a home. I thought it would be a luxury to afford this service but I can't imagine having to do everything she did all alone with a 9 month old baby at home with me. I'm eternally grateful for her expertise, patience and compassion through the process!

2 years later, I found myself texting Allison with the hope of tackling more organizational…read moreprojects I had put off for too long: the office and the kitchen. It was a tight timeframe, but Allison (who so lovingly remembered me) was able to squeeze me in to tackle the spaces 2 weeks later. After a whole day together of Allison presenting all the items that had been shoved into spaces and forgotten about, tossing things that were unneeded (dingy plastic tupperware and mugs galore), and having the best conversation, we were able to free up space in both areas and leave each area feeling intentional all while I was working from home the majority of the day. There was never a moment I felt like she was pushing me to donate or toss things and never once had I felt judged for wanting to cling onto the "just in case" items that I really felt were "just in case" trinkets. I'll probably be tossing them anyways... Allison is the type of small business owner that you'd want to continue working with and continue getting to know! She's the best in the business and her integrity shines through in her work. I can't wait to tackle more projects in the future with her!

For the…read moreconsultation, she thoroughly examined our house and all of the spaces and wrote out an action plan. I had other professional organizers come over for a consultation and it was only five minutes tops, with a pricey consultation fee, and they didn't even have a plan which felt unsettling. But Allison made me feel cared for and showed me she can be trusted! She did way more than I ever expected. She takes all of your junk and donations for you in her pickup truck!!! That was a HUGE plus for me, I did not expect that! That was an enormous amount of relief for me so I my trash wasn't overfilled with all the junk I got rid of! I also mentioned to her that I was putting together my son's loft bed and that I was struggling, so she offered to come over and help me! She didn't even charge me for the hour she helped even though I insisted! You can't buy genuine kindness, so I really appreciated that! The garage is now a functional entertainment/playroom, I'm actually baking more than I ever did in my kitchen, and the kids are SO happy with their rooms. I feel like Allison gave me more than just "a clean house." She gave me time, purpose, and efficiency -- which are far more valuable than tidiness. She gave me a happy home! And being a mom of three little ones, it's easy to drown in the chaos and keep up with everything. But I went from feeling overwhelmed and stressed, to peaceful and relaxed. Thank you, Allison for giving us the gift of peace in our home! If you're looking for a professional organizer who goes the extra mile, the organization maven is for you!!

My siblings and I had been stressed and overwhelmed by our mom's hoarding for years, but the…read moresituation always felt way too big for us to handle. After she was hospitalized and moved into a skilled nursing facility, I suddenly needed to end her lease and completely clear out her apartment while also dealing with a million other things on her behalf. I knew I needed more than just a junk removal or moving company. I specifically wanted a senior move manager who could coordinate the sorting, donations, hauling, moving, and storage, because the thought of finding and managing all of those vendors myself was overwhelming. I found A Clear Path through the NASMM website and was immediately impressed that they were A+ Accredited. Their website also really resonated with me because they clearly understood the emotional side of hoarding and approached these situations with compassion. Mary reached out very quickly after I submitted my project details, and I was able to schedule a Zoom consultation for the next day through their online scheduling system. She was kind, responsive, and upfront that a project of this size would be costly. After our consultation, she emailed me a detailed proposal with the full price breakdown, so I knew exactly what to expect before moving forward. Communication was fast and easy over email, and everything from scheduling the consultation to paying the invoice online felt organized and streamlined. I was still really nervous on the first day because I didn't know what to expect, but Melody, Erika, and Tito arrived right at 9:00 AM and immediately got to work after I gave them a walkthrough. They were so thoughtful and reassuring, and they always checked with me about what should be kept, donated, or thrown away. They were also incredibly meticulous. They carefully combed through everything and set aside important documents, money, and sentimental belongings, including things I had not even thought to look for, like my mom's passport and my family's Social Security cards. Knowing they were paying such close attention gave me so much peace of mind. They worked through an enormous amount of stuff during a heat wave and remained positive and efficient throughout the project. I was honestly so inspired by their work ethic. Mary had estimated that the sorting would take two full days, but they finished early on the second day! A Clear Path also coordinated the hauling with Richard and his team at Cote Trash Hauling and Cleanup. The hauling had been estimated to take two days, but they arrived right at 7:00 AM and finished the entire job in one day! I was amazed by how quickly they worked, especially since the apartment was on the second floor and there was so much to remove. By the end of the third day, the apartment was completely emptied. Richard and his team moved everything we were keeping into storage, transported the donations, and took the remaining junk to the dump. There is absolutely no way I could have handled all of this on my own, especially while juggling work and everything else related to my mom's transition. I feel so lucky that the project went as smoothly as it did! I'm incredibly grateful to Mary, Melody, Erika, Tito, Richard, and everyone else involved. They took a situation that had felt impossible for years and helped my family finally move forward. I truly cannot recommend A Clear Path enough, especially to anyone facing an overwhelming downsizing, hoarding, or senior move situation!!

Plus bathroom and hall closets. She was great to work with - very easy communication and helped organize the space where is easy to find items and there's even extra space if needed for the future.

She also helped create a working daily task organization plan to deal with all of the things I need to do and hopefully eliminate all of my paper notes all over the house! I highly recommend Ashley for any of your organizing needs!

My husband and I moved into our home in 2015 with a 2-month-old baby, and then one thing led to…read moreanother and seven years later we still hadn't really put everything where we wanted it to be, we'd had another kid, and were 2.5 years into a pandemic trying to keep our family safe while working full time. Needless to say, our house was overwhelming: no energy or time to address anything beyond doing the bare minimum to keep our heads above squalor, way too much stuff, etc. Beyond having small children who destroy everything they touch, we are a neurodivergent household (ADHD and Autism), which is an added layer on top of just not knowing how to de-shittify the house. Ashley has two little kids herself, so understands that particular quality of chaos. She came recommended to me by another neurodivergent parent of little kids, and in our initial interviews (done over Zoom and in-person), she assured me that she could get our 3 Bed/3Bath 1,700sq condo into working order in four days. I decided to take off time from my job to work with her, because I wanted to see what she did so that I could keep it up after she was done. I so appreciated working with Ashley! She came in with a plan in her head, gave me stuff to do, got to work herself, and checked in on me every 15-20 mins like clockwork throughout the day. This was not the kind of job where we were decanting things into matching plastic containers or rolling towels in hotel folds: we were performing a major decluttering in order to free up space, and then assigning a home to all of our crap in a "good enough!" kind of way. As we strategized, we were thinking "can a 3yo do this? Can this room get cleaned up in 5 minutes?" so this was not a precious operation in the least. From seeing pictures of Ashley's other jobs, I knew she was *capable* of decanting things into matching containers, but when I told her that I was not into decanting she understood exactly what I meant and then made it happen in the cleaning process. As I write this review, it's been a month out from The Big Purge and amazingly, we've been able to keep our house clean, and it's *easier* to keep it clean. The kids are happier because they can keep their rooms neat on their own and they take pride in caring for their belongings, and now that my husband and I aren't in survival mode we are much more relaxed as well. I had a suspicion that life would be more harmonious when our crap was organized and we had far less of it, but it's been a daily gift to actually see the change in practice. Ashley is honest, non-judgmental, responsive, and busted her ass for us. She's also been wonderful about following up-- we had a list of things to take care of after she left, and she continues to keep me accountable. We're all so grateful, truly.
