1.
What areas do you provide service in?

Alachua, Newberry, Micanopy, McIntosh, Ocala, Belleview, Lake
City, Palatka, Starke, Keystone Heights, Waldo, Trenton, Bronson,
Chiefland, Hawthorne and Melrose.
There will be an additional travel expense for areas located outside
of Gainesville.
2.
How does it "work" and what do I need to buy for our appointment?
I
generally work side by side with you, giving support and guidance
as you make decisions about your space. You do not need to buy
anything to prepare for our first appointment. In fact, most of
my clients end up not needing to buy anything ever, once they
see the empty drawers, shelves and spaces that are a result of
our purging and organizing, they can reuse items already in the
room.
If
you live in other states or cities outside of my geographic area,
I can be an Organizing Coach providing assistance over the phone,
talking to you in ‘real time’ while you work in your
physical space. This method is also useful for clients within
my locale who only have short segments of time available and thus
can’t do my typical organizing sessions or who want only
time management advice.
3.
I feel uncomfortable having a stranger help me with my personal
papers and belongings.
Linda
follows the code of ethics as stated in NAPO
and NSGCD.
4.
What if I am embarrassed about my mess?
Clients
often state "I bet this is the worst mess you've ever seen!" Don't
worry, I know that many simply don't have the skills, energy,
or time to deal with their clutter issues. I think they should
be proud of themselves for contacting me to get help.
5.
Can you speak to my organization, church or group?
Yes!
A sampling of the groups I've spoken to is listed on the Media page.
