1. What areas do you provide service in?

My areas of service in Florida include Gainesville, Archer, Williston, 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. 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.

3. How does it "work" and what do I need to buy for our appointment?

I 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.
