If I had 10 stars to give, I would. A dear friend of mine referred me to Kat last August. I can honestly say, this is the BEST referral I have ever gotten from a friend. Kat is a Gold Mine. I contacted her and she contacted me within the 24 hr. period, (per what it says on her voice mail and I believe her website as well). Her website is very straight forward with various options current clients and new clients can purchase, which are very well explained and beyond reasonably priced. So let me outline my process a little bit:
When she contacted me she asked me questions about what my needs were and what my goals were in wanting to get organized. I was in a panic because I had to move away for at least 6 months to help a terminally ill parent. Upon my return, my house was a disaster! My husband tried, but really missed the mark on maintaining it, and it was just something that I no longer had the capacity to deal with while grieving the loss of my dad. Connecting with Kat was the BEST decision.
When she came over, we sat and talked. She didn't rush me into the process, as she knew I was a bit fragile with things going on in my life. But she had us methodically tackle room by room, pile by pile. She keeps you on point. You do the work together, which is important. I needed someone to understand that while implementing systems for someone is great, it has to be a system that works for them, otherwise, it won't be successful. Kat completely gets that and really worked with me to input systems in place that I like.
I continue to work with Kat. She has helped me with my entire house from top to bottom and so much more. We are also going to be moving and I am having her help me with my move from packing to helping me set up systems in my new house. I don't ever see her not being in my life. What I appreciate is that now that we have done a lot of work together, I can have her come here and there to help with home projects. It helps keep my sanity!
My daughter's room, which I thought would never be clean again, is C-L-E-A-N! I mean, it now only takes her a few minutes to clean up her space and my daughter is really making a concerted effort to keep her room and her desk neat and tidy. That just gives me a piece of mind.
I would also like to say she is helps me organize my tech gadgets, to painting, to email, to helping me create complete files for everything my family needs. She once even told me she helped someone file for Social Security. She is that organized, professional and TRUSTWORTHY. She makes what one would think be a daunting process, completely manageable, and FUN. I really look foward to my sessions with Kat, because now I am grasping how amazing it is to be organized, because it really does save me time in the long run.
My husband is also very thankful for this process. Letting things go is often times harder for one partner vs. the other (Kat explained that to me) and it was harder for my husband. She completey understands how to work with him and does not pressure him. He is now seeing the value of clearing away the clutter. He is very happy that our house is calmer and happier.
Kat is like a fairy godmother. She comes in with the best energy and she is passionate about what she does. VERY passionate and she has made a wonderful impact on our entire family. Even my pets LOVE her. They all come around her when we are clearing and cleaning! But her services will ALWAYS ALWAYS be used by our family.
I can honestly look back and see a tremendous difference in my home from a few months ago to now. What a difference! While I can still create a mess, it is so much quicker for me to clean it up and it takes MUCH less time, because we have cleared and cleared away. Honestly, I also thought I had too much stuff, but I didn't. Kat said, "Hey, you have lived in your home for over 10 years. You acquire stuff. That's okay. Your house is not bad at all. You have been living life! Don't worry, Kelly. We will go through everything and sort it out to the way you want it."
And we did just that. Any time I ask Kat an organization question, she knows the answer, or if I ask a random question because I am curious to know her professional opion on something, she gives it.
Thanks so much, Kat. I adore you. My entire family adores and loves you. You have brought our family closer together. This may sound strange to people, but when you have a cluttered home, your mind is also cluttered and holding onto things you didn't even realize you were holding onto in the first place. But as you see the clutter being removed from your home, your mind and attitude shift. And because of this, I think we all feel as though weight has been lifted from our shoulders and we can concentrate on the fun of our family again and not stress about messes and cleaning - clutter free!
Kat is efficient with time as well. She can do the project for you, if you need that done too.
Thank you Kat!!! read more
