The one time I spoke with Amy, in Late May, she was very patient and professional. However, we agreed that my family doesn't need her help at this time. read more

I have used Amy at two different houses over the years and she is amazing. She has great energy, is so helpful and is so talented with organization! I started with one room and decided to use her for my entire house. It feels so great to be clutter free and organized. I highly recommend hiring Amy! read more

Organizing With Amy - Home Organization Near Me

From #HotMess to #Minimalist (mostly!) A little bit about me... I'm a partner in a CPA firm and feel like I am busy most of the time. My home usually gets the last focus from me. I've always leaned toward the messy, unorganized side of things in all parts of my life. I even used to joke that I had hoarding tendencies. During the pandemic, I moved into full-on hoarder mode. I had so many things piled up in my house that I couldn't get around easily. Amazon boxes were everywhere! And I hated being home. In June 2022, I decided I had had enough and interviewed three different professional organizers. As soon as Amy and I spoke on the phone, I knew we were fated for each other! She made me feel so comfortable even on the phone and I believed that she could help me overcome a lifetime of keeping things! Amy and I have been working together regularly since then (with breaks during my busy tax times). Together, we've tackled the kitchen, the bedroom, my home office, the living room, my extra bedroom (which has now become my "she shack!"), the garage, and the exterior storage cabinets. Once we emptied the garage, I then emptied the off-site storage (10'x20') back into my garage. Today, JunkMD hauled away the last of the mess and my car can finally live in my garage after 17 years!! I don't know how to express how happy I am! Amy asked me the first time we worked together what my goals were and I said to feel lighter, less weighed down by things, and for my home to become an oasis. Amy has helped me to achieve those goals and more! She is such a pleasure to work with. Her approach is to ask how hard you want her to push, and then she lives up to that agreement. I've never felt judged or criticized by her. I always feel better once Amy's been here. I can say she has become a friend - she knows my weaknesses (anything "cute" - I'm also distracted by a "really good box") but she also understands my strengths and where I want to be and she supports and encourages me in that journey. Amy is more than a physical things organizer - she also helps me get clarity and organization with my thinking, and with the emotions that are tied to the physical things. I've learned so many good habits and behaviors and am so grateful I was led to her. If you are a busy, professional woman who just doesn't have the energy for keeping your physical space as organized and tidy as you'd like, Amy is for you! She will help you develop easy habits and will encourage you in letting go of the things that are weighing you down. Reclaim your physical (and mental) space on your terms! You will be so happy you invited Amy along on this journey. As you can see, I can't say enough about how she has impacted my life. Amy really has been a life-saver for me in many ways. read more

My advice...don't put off hiring Amy. I have worked with her on several projects and my only regret was we waited so long to get to it! The latest project was a very large garage in Tahoe. This garage has to contain a myriad of things - tractor, paddle boards, ski equipment, bikes, random sporting goods, short term rental supplies, laundry, tools, tools and more tools, etc. My husband I would never have been able to accomplish this monumental task without the help of Amy and her very organized system. She sees the project through from the start to finish and gave us a functional system that will be easier for both of our brains to handle moving forward. Another "priceless" project was her assistance with my aging parents second home. To say there was an accumulation of stuff is an understatement. Rather than my mom feeling shamed for the years of build up, Amy empowered her to make the changes she had so desperately been wanting to make. She gave her the tools she needed to separate from the "things" that have been weighing her down for years. I know my parents feel they are in a better place in regards to what they do and don't leave behind for their family. They are now purging and keeping up with her plan all the time. It's the new addiction and I'm thrilled to not have that job passed down to me and my siblings. Don't hesitate. She is absolutely worth the investment and is so fun to work along side. read more

This morning I opened my socks drawer, not looking for a pair of socks to wear, it's much to warm in San Diego, but just to marvel at all the space in there now that Amy and I spent a few hours uncluttering. And not only my socks drawer...every drawer in my chest, and the jewelry box(es) and drawers--organized and pretty. Decisions about what to keep what to not keep baffled me until Amy came into my life and my apartment and helped me make decisions. In fact, making them was easy when she asked questions, gave me ideas, told me about "containers" and showed me ways to keep the organized organized. We didn't get through the entire apartment, but you know I'm going to ask for Amy's help again. Her experience and expertise, knowledge, and generosity is vast; her fees are reasonable and so well worth it. Simply put, I couldn't do this on my own. With Amy's expert help... we're on the way to what I imagine my orderly, neat and uncluttered home will be. Oh and did I say how much fun and about her good humor and how fast the time goes working with Amy. read more

Very help. I had Amy help me line drawer, and organize my kitchen. Great help and her prices were great!99 read more

Over whelmed, frozen, not sure where or how to start? Amy was my answer! I've never been good at keeping up at home, being a single Mom & always working 3 to 4 jobs... Well, then came 2020, losing both parents & accumulating even more stuff. Amy helped me sort through, donate, & organize 3 & 1/2 rooms in only 4 visits! It looks, feels & is so much easier to maneuver around. Here is just the kitchen pic's. I can now have visitor's again. I am going to continue the process with what Amy has taught me. Thank You!!! read more

Amy was so great to work with! My mom purchased Amy's services as a birthday gift to me. As a naturally messy person with a toddler at home, my house was starting to get out of control with junk piles and hiding the mess by just stacking it in corners or our spare bedroom or garage whenever anyone came by and it was becoming more and more overwhelming to consider cleaning it up. Amy was incredibly helpful with both physically helping me tackle the spaces, (like seriously getting into gross dusty spaces occupied by silverfish and keeping such a positive, non-judgmental attitude) as well as giving me tips and strategies to manage my household going forward. I really loved that her advice was realistic and manageable (as opposed to every Pinterest organizing article I've ever read that looks cute but can't be kept up). Her personality is also easy and friendly, keeping you on-task but engaged, which made it surprisingly enjoyable to clean out my most anxiety provoking spaces in my house. She helped me say goodbye to objects I was keeping around but no longer needed, but without any judgement or pressure, just kinda asking open-ended questions and letting me come to my own conclusions. I forgot to take before-after pictures of my garage and entryway/storage closet, but I was shocked how much work we were able to get done in each 4 hour session. Currently writing this review from my newly functional office space! Thanks Amy! read more

Organizing With Amy - The top row was my spare room/junkyard before; the bottom row is my newly functional office and storage space! - Home Organization Near Me

The pandemic was not good to me, but Amy was! After coming home from a months-long trip where I existed happily in clean and orderly hotel rooms, I saw nothing but chaos in my own house. There wasn't even one room that wasn't a compete mess. I had to be honest with myself. I needed help. Amy to the rescue! I called her to set up a consult, where I probably told her waaaaaaay too much about how my mental health had deteriorated during the year I had spent in lockdown, with my messy house the visible result. She assured me (often!) that I was not a lost cause and we got to work. It was a long process, but with much progress. Although Amy calls herself an organizer, what I found her service most helpful for was identifying the underlying psychology of disorganization. Yes, I had lots (and lots and lots) of stuff, but why? I learned much more about myself and how my mind operates. Phrases that Amy has said to me ("Can you let it go?" and "If that's all you had on your plate, you could totally do that, but you already have so much to do....."). What I "let go of" most transformatively was this fantasy person I had imagined myself to be all these years. With Amy's help, I came to realize that I just didn't have that type of lifestyle where I could devote copious amounts of time and energy separating the used coffee grounds from the plastic Keurig K-cups, for instance. I'm still coming to terms with that, haha. If you've read this far, I really hope that by now you are dialing Amy's number. You deserve to live in an organized home. It's okay to admit you need someone to help you achieve it. Amy is that someone. read more

I had an amazing and productive session with Amy. I love organizing, but as a mom of 2 and having just moved, it can be so hard to get anything accomplished. Amy helped me transform my pantry from a mess to a beautiful and functional space. I can finally see what I have which will prevent over-buying and waste. She also gave me so many great tips that I never would I have thought of on my own. On a personal level, Amy is warm and so fun to work with. I can't wait to have her help me with more spaces in my home! read more

What I loved about working with Amy was that she not only inspired me to get stuff out of my house, she also helped me address the mental stuff that got me there in the first place. It's one thing to get my space temporarily clean, but without changing my thinking patterns, I always end up back in clutter. Amy gets to the root of things in a way that breaks through the overwhelm and makes everything feel manageable. Her approach is straightforward with a good dose of humor. She has a compassion that helped me stop beating myself up about the mess, and a pragmatism that kept me from getting wishy washy about getting rid of stuff. I always come out of talking with her fired up to make changes and confident those changes will last. read more

Amy is a delight to work with - very knowledgeable and with lots of "hacks" to organize efficiently. We met with her when we had millwork drawings but had not ordered the cabinets. It was a perfect time for us in our remodel. We will probably be consulting her many more times, too! We recommend Amy without hesitation, are sure she will improve our remodel and actually help us save money, too! read more

I cannot express how appreciative I am of Amy. My boyfriend and I just bought a home, I am organized and he is not. We needed a a full closet design and all closets organized including a garage. It was a big job and personal to us. So I sought out a professional organizer that recognized the dynamics of blending two peoples stuff. Her personal approach to sorting and storing helped us bridge that gap and build systems that we can both use for years to come. And the closet solutions were life changing! I can't wait to have her back once we've settled in and need new systems. Highly highly recommended! read more

Amy came to my place today & we got my pantry & garage looking great! She kept me focused on the job at hand. In 4 hrs my pantry & garage went from yuck to beautiful! She gave me practical advise to get the other areas in my house up to par too. I highly recommend calling Amy if you just can't get started & need a little nudge. read more

Organizing With Amy - Thanks Amy for getting my garage in order! - Home Organization Near Me

I was trying to describe Amy to a friend yesterday, and I explained that "having Amy come in is like having a very calm therapist in your home, working through the clutter, both in your mind and environment." My home is in order. (A few months ago I couldn't imagine this.) everything has its place, and there is a process for stuff coming in and stuff going out. Best of all, my eight year old also knows where EVERYTHING goes. It is clear and labeled. Cleaning his room takes less than 5 minutes, FOR HIM, and there is absolutely no confusion. Also, when I say, "time to tidy up," the task is totally undaunting, I don't get the argument that I used to, before Amy. You will never feel judged, and Amy is tireless. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

I was avoiding tackling all my messy closets, and Amy helped me get motivated and started. She also showed me a path from completely disorganized to completely organized and explained her system of organizing any space. Amy is so kind and fun to talk to. She made a hard process a pleasant one, and I can't thank her enough for her guidance and overall positive vibes. If you have any organizing to do (which we all really do), Amy is exactly the person you need. I worked with her using zoom because of the corona virus lockdown, and it went very smoothly. read more

Hiring Amy is a lasting investment that pays big dividends. She is helpful by nature and a pleasure to be around. I am truly a tough customer and I recommend Amy with all my heart. I come from a long line of pack-rats and struggle with getting rid of things. I'm also naturally disorganized*. Cooking and baking are important to me and I ran out of space in my kitchen. In my heart of hearts I knew that if I tossed things I really didn't use, and creatively rearranged, my kitchen would be plenty large. I lacked the motivation and vision for this task. Dealing with all the objects shoved in a drawer or cabinet was the last thing I wanted to do. Dealing with objects means making decisions about those objects--either getting rid of them or finding a proper spot for them. Like a lot of people, I feel a need to hang on to things I do not use, need, or love. That creates an ongoing inner conflict: the path of least resistance is leave all that "stuff" to sit and molder. But it is much, much nicer to reclaim that space for something useful, and it is empowering to get loose ends squared away. You have better control over your surroundings and by extension, your life. This is where Amy comes in. Working with her paid off in ways I never imagined. The first time we worked together, we attacked my kitchen. The process and outcome exceeded expectations. Amy is encouraging and upbeat. Her demeanor is ideal for this kind of work. She gives you the motivation and boost to get it done. She also helped me put systems in place that make sense, simple things like how to group certain items. Makes perfect sense but I never thought of it before. Here are the areas where Amy excels: -She excels at helping you decide what to keep, what to toss, and logical places for things. -She is great at helping you see that maybe 2 or 3 of one type of item is enough--you really can let go of the rest. -She isn't afraid of your dusty clutter you've ignored for the last 4 years. Even if you don't want to face a pile of items, she is a genius at keeping the mood light and helping to figure out where things should go. -She is so gentle and understanding if she sees you are struggling with certain elements of the organizing effort. -She understands the struggle people have with things, the attachments we develop. She is a coach and a guide. -Her suggestions are simple but smart. Years later I still use the grouping systems she introduced to me. I recommend and endorse Organizing with Amy whole-heartedly. Amy is a pleasant, highly skilled people-person. She will successfully guide you through sorting and arranging anything, and help you set up systems that make sense for the way you live. *Amy doesn't believe anyone is "naturally disorganized." She believes organization is a skill anyone learn. This speaks to the faith she has in all people, and the helpful outlook she brings. read more

Amy helped me with the very difficult situation of moving into a space that also contained the possessions of my mother, who had recently passed away. Beyond assisting in recycling, donating and storing my Moms former possessions, she helped myself and my partner move our things into a space that was considerably smaller. The biggest help was just having her come at a set time and keep me focused. It is so easy to become distracted when you are organizing. Also, her realistic approach to objects and their purpose in your life is enlightening and freeing. All she had to do was stand next to me and I would be able to let go of things. Other than that? Highly recommend you invest the money in your own freedom and happiness. Thanks Amy! read more

I am thrilled to recommend Amy. After having a flood in my condo last year, my home was a disaster...most of our belongings were in boxes and getting organized seemed impossible. As a single mom, I knew that I needed some serious expertise and guidance to help me sort through the clutter. Thankfully, Amy was the PERFECT match for helping me reach my goal. When she came in for a consultation, I was impressed by her clear style of communication as well as her methodical approach to helping clients maintain an organized household. After our first session where we tackled my closet, I was so motivated to keep working through each room/storage in my home. Now, after six sessions, I am so pleased when I open up my closets/cabinets/pantry/drawers to find a neatly organized space. A huge weight has been lifted and it feels SO GOOD. Also, as an adult with moderate ADHD, I found that Amy really understood how to communicate with me effectively and guide me through the process in a compassionate, mindful, and positive manner. Amy understood how my brain could get overwhelmed and veer off task, and knowing this, she always made sure to reiterate my goal so that I would stay focused and motivated. After each session we would agree on "homework" that I would complete before our next session. I found her weekly "check-ins" on my progress so helpful. Amy is also just a really insightful and intelligent person, so she's a super pleasant person to work alongside. Her service is worth every penny and I am so thankful for her help!! read more

Best money you will ever spend! Amy was professional, kind, and nudged me in a gentle way to part with old items and clothes I haven't used in years by seeing things from a different perspective. I hired her initially to reorganize the kitchen, but was so thrilled with the result I asked her to come back the following weekend and reorganize the closet as well. Its been about 4 weeks and I feel clutter-free and MUCH more empowered only having what I actually use and enjoy in my space. She even gave me some great ideas like using drawer space organizers that I've been implementing since she left. If you are like me and need help getting "unstuck", then Amy is the person to help. read more

Amy was a guest speaker in my entrepreneur class and shared her journey and tips with my students. She was very inspiring! Thank you read more

WOW! We had 5,500 square feet of STUFF to move into a 3,100 square foot space and 4 storage pods, too. This was no easy task and I was over it. I called Amy because I was exhausted and just didn't have the time to keep at it. Our stuff would've stayed in storage forever...which would've cost far more than what I paid Amy. These are the things you need to know about Organizing With Amy: 1. She is well-worth her cost- which is not that ridiculous to begin with. 2. She takes your donations away for you- instant gratification. 3. She does heavy lifting. She is STRONG. She organized my garage in a flash! 4. She's not afraid of hard work, messy work, office work--you name it, Amy is awesome at it! 5. Most of all, her systems don't just look better, they actually FUNCTION for the long-term. 6. She's honest, ethical, prompt and efficient. 7. If you struggle with clutter, organizing, AD/HD, paperwork, etc...Amy WILL help you! 8. My life is so much better because of her work. read more

Amy helped me organize my home office space. It was so overwhelming to go near those piles. She was exceptional at helping me realize how much was just clutter that needed to see the trash or recycle bin. I continue to use the tools I learned for others areas in my home that need organizing. Thank you Amy! read more

Amy is so enthusiastic about organizing. She truly loves what she does which makes working with her so special. We have worked with her for over 3 years. She helped us thru 2 moves so far always allowing us to make the decisions on what to keep and what to let go of. She can look at a space and immediately see the best way to organize it. We feel so lucky to have her now in our lives and we have developed a great friendship along the way. read more

Amy is a Life saver! Actually... it's more like a "life giver". Her tactics and strategies help you get and stay organized so you have more time, energy and clarity to address your life. What I especially like is that her methods are sustainable. High fives, two thumbs up, and an enthusiastic endorsement for Amy and her services! read more

I could not be more pleased with the help Amy gave me organizing our garage and art room. The garage project was huge! With Amy's encouragement, I was able to get stuff out of the garage, on to a new life (donated) or the trash heap. The items that remained were reorganized brilliantly, requiring much less space! The garage was once again, open and airy. The ten year old art room had never been properly organized. There were lots of cabinets full of a jumble of arts and crafts supplies. Now, everything is easy to find and beautifully laid out, "Amy Style". Amy is the best - a tip-top professional, efficient and knowledgeable organizer! read more

Amy is amazing! I was recently gifted Amy's services by a family member and working with her was a wonderful experience. Amy's presence is that of an old friend, so there was an immediate comfort with her once she entered my home. Over the course of the 4 hours we worked together I learned invaluable tips and advice from Amy that not only helped me get my kitchen in order but that I'm now applying to other areas of my life and home. I'm excited to work with Amy again in the future. She's incredibly talented and a joy to be around. read more

Worth every penny - and more. Just spent the most amazing morning with Amy. I gained so much more than I expected. We just moved into a new house with weird cabinets and I was having a heck of a time figuring out where to put everything. So I thought I'd see if an organizer could help. I thought Amy was just going to come and move things around. But instead (or i guess in addition to that)I learned a new ways of thinking, she helped me look at my relationship to "stuff", how I consume, even my relationships to my husband and kids. She did move stuff around but what was most valuable was a set of skills and a new outlook that has helped with the constant influx and stress of countless papers, bills, random small toys, and newspapers that pile up around our house. I have even started to apply these skills to my work environment and other areas of my life. Wow- I had no idea how useful Amy could be. Highly recommended! read more

Hire Amy! She is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, motivating, and very easy to work with. Amy helped me organize my closets via a FaceTime consultation. I wasn't sure how well she would be able to get a feel for my closet space through my phone, but it worked out really well. Amy also asked me questions to get me to think about how I could best use the space and she offered suggestions that I really hadn't thought about. I thought I just needed a little decluttering. We ended up finding space for 6 pairs of boots and an extra shelf for shoes. She also offered some really great tips and "rules of thumb" on closet arrangement and weeding out all the stuff that doesn't serve us anymore. Amy encouraged me to commit to a time frame for completing my project, which for me, was really helpful and actually allowed time to complete more than I anticipated. My husband jumped on board and got his side cleaned up. He gained a closet for shirts and a drawer for t-shirts that previously had been piled with junk. We actually had a lot of fun with this project thanks to Amy's guidance! read more

I've never used someone to help me with organization before, but after spending 12 hours with Amy I wish I would have done it much sooner! For those who are skeptical, take it from me: you learn incredibly valuable information and Amy teaches you to think in ways you wouldn't have otherwise learned. The process of organizing and learning how to think about things before they even enter the house are a few things Amy teaches you. My house and my train of thought has changed forever and I am incredibly grateful. The feeling of chaos and stress as I entered my house is now completely gone, and I feel serene. Amy somehow managed to make my home feel this way even with 2 small kids and 2 dogs running around the house! I would recommend Amy to anyone !! Even people who think they don't need help organizing, trust me you do! Thanks so much Amy, I look forward to our one year check up !! read more

Amy is wonderful. So far we've just met with her once but even just from that one meeting, we've learned so much. She's helped us to shift our perspective and help us discover what was important to us. This consultation with her I feel actually brought my husband and I closer together and help us rediscover our passions and better define our goals for our future. Amy was so kind and does not judge even though our house was a complete mess! There was even cereal on our floor that our toddler had spilled and I forgot to clean it up but Amy did not bat an eye. I genuinely felt her willingness to help and meet us where we were at. I felt we made the decisions for what was right for us but she opened our eyes to possibilities of greater things for the future and the peace of mind we desired for our lives. We know these things to a degree but Amy brings a fresh perspective and made me consider things that I would not of thought of on my own. She is inspiring. read more

Amy is not only an expert in organization, she is also a pure joy to work with. Amy worked independently beside my interior design team to organize a large vacation home. She helped find the best containers and accessories to ensure that everything was in the right and orderly spot. When there was any question where I might want to store something, Amy always politely texted with questions (it wasn't often, her intuition and abilities are that good). I would recommend Amy to anyone. read more

USE this woman! She helped me purge, reorganize and get a plan for my whole house after my divorce. I just couldn't get it done on my own. Her helpful tips, guidance and presence was EXACTLY what I needed to finally eat the elephant one bite at a time. She encouraged me and supported me to make some difficult decisions and I am thankful. read more

Working with Amy has been life changing. We started with my pantry several months ago. Today it is still neat and tidy. I like to leave the door open because it looks like artwork to me! The process we went through to clean out my house has worked. In the past I would clean one area then revert back to my old ways. Not this time! Amy has not only changed my habits, but has also changed how I think about how clutter affects my life. Thank you, Amy, for helping me get rid of tons of "stuff." I am pleased to recommend Amy without reservation. read more

Amy was referred to me by a friend who raved about her. I have now worked with Amy in my previous home and also in my new home, and she has been fantastic. She has an uncanny way of seeing the best way to organize things, and does so without any judgement of how things currently are. She has transformed my closets, kitchen and office. I would highly recommend her. read more

Amy has helped me in many more than organizing. She has helped me restore order in my life, and encourages me to be better. In the beginning Amy sent me many resources in order for me to prepare for our first session, which I felt was very thoughtful. I learn so much from her even during our session, how to keep things organized, and being mindful of my space. In a sense, our organizing sessions were therapeutic, I let go of so many things that were holding me back from my full potential and she deep breathed with me every step of the way. Such a great supporter! I have had about 4 sessions with Amy, and each time we are done I feel like a really big weight is lifted off of me. I highly recommend Organizing with Amy, this is truly her gift and I am grateful for her help and the habits she has helped me to develop in living a more organized life. read more

I am so grateful to have found Amy. She is positive, kind, supportive, efficient, and shared in the "doing" of every aspect of an organizational task. My garage, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms have become spaces that I can live and work with more comfortably. Amy's expertise is worth 2 people. She called vendors and resale shops to inquire about their policies and fees to sell, repair or appraise specific items and collections, and gave me her list of suggestions, saving me valuable time. Each day, she came to my house with paper bags and empty boxes of various sizes so we could immediately categorize what would be donated, given away or sold. She also hauled off donation items so I could spend my time working directly with consignment stores. Amy encouraged me when I became "stuck" on what to do with an item, reminded me of my goals, and provided constructive ideas for future changes. I accomplished more in less time with her help, and have been able to begin a new job assignment with a sense of relief and accomplishment in my personal life. If you would like to "breathe" again in your own space, and have fun working with an outstanding team mate who will help you accomplish this, hire Amy. read more

I had Amy help me on an organizing project when I moved into my new home. She was such a huge help in getting my stuff in order and guiding me to what things I'd need that are important and those that aren't. I now have a great system in place where I can find things easily and logically. Thanks to Amy, My life is a bit saner. Highly Recommended ! read more

I give Amy a 110, A+++. Every hour spent with her has brought more order and peace to my life and home. I am a lifelong piler and have a time management deficit:), and she has gently helped me see the ways that my patterns create the clutter. She also has given me practical ways to help me create sustainable new habits. This is the first time in my life at age 40 that I really feel like I can make a change in ordering my home and my life, and that I can maintain it. I already feel more peace in my heart knowing I have a plan. Amy's such a gentle yet firm personality that helped me purge and live more simply. She's such a kind person that obviously is passionate about helping people with her gifts. Definitely definitely worth every penny. Hire Amy! read more

After finishing a long-awaited kitchen remodel, I wanted my cabinets to be arranged perfectly the first time, so I called Amy. She is truly gifted. Amy helped me see the most logical storage places for everything - from my heavy pots to my olive picks. She has a great attitude and is fun to work with - she made this mountain of a project into a molehill. I'm still admiring the finished product every time I open the cabinets. Give her a call. read more
