Thinking About Getting Organized?

If this is your first time working with a home organizer, you’re in the right place.
I’ll guide you through every step, making the process simple, supportive, and maybe even fun.

Before your free 30-minute discovery call or in-home visit, here are some of the most common questions I get:

1. What exactly does a home organizer do?
I help you clarify goals, declutter, and create systems that make your space work better for you.

You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like. Some clients enjoy working alongside me, while others prefer to let me take the lead and check in as needed. Either way, I’ll create a space that feels calm, functional, and beautiful.

2. Do I need to be there during the session?
You decide your level of involvement. I can work beside you or independently while you go about your day.

I’ll never discard anything without checking first, and I’ll group items for review so decisions are quick and easy when you’re ready.

3. What if I feel embarrassed by my clutter?
It’s completely normal to feel that way. I’ve worked in every kind of space, including overflowing playrooms, garages you can’t walk through, closets packed to the brim, and guest rooms turned into storage zones.

A cluttered space isn’t a reflection of who you are. It’s a reflection of full lives and busy schedules. My role isn’t to judge. It’s to help you create a space that feels peaceful, functional, and aligned with how you want to live.

4. How long will it take, and what will it cost?
Every project is different. After your free consult, I’ll provide an hourly rate and an estimate for your specific project so there are no surprises.

You’ll always know what to expect before we begin.

5. Will my space stay that way after you leave?
That’s always the goal. I design easy-to-follow systems, label as needed, and make sure everything has a place.

Many clients also choose monthly or quarterly refresh sessions to keep things running smoothly as life changes.

6. Will you make me get rid of keepsakes or sentimental items?
Never. You decide what stays.

I’ll help you think about what supports your current lifestyle, but I’ll always respect your emotional connection to belongings.

I’ll challenge you gently but never push you outside your comfort zone unless you want me to.

7. Do you provide organizing supplies, or do I?
After our consult, I’ll make personalized product recommendations. You can purchase them yourself or I can source them for a small fee. There’s no markup on any items I buy.

If you’d rather not buy anything new, that’s perfectly fine too. I’m happy to work with what you already have in your home.

I also bring multiple label makers and a wide variety of labels to every session so I can create customized label systems for you at no extra cost.

8. What happens to donations?
If you’d like, I can take donation items for you for a small fee per carload so you don’t have to worry about hauling or drop-offs.

9. What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
I just ask for 24 hours’ notice so I can offer your time slot to another client.

Cancellations within 24 hours are subject to an $80 fee.

10. Do you work with special situations like ADHD, hoarding, or seniors?
Yes. I tailor my approach with empathy and structure.

If a project is outside my scope, such as clinical hoarding, I’ll help you connect with a trusted specialist.

11. How do I get started?
Just reach out through the Contact page to schedule your free 30-minute discovery call or in-home visit.

We’ll talk through your space, your goals, and what’s been feeling overwhelming, then I’ll recommend the best next step for you.

12. Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes. A Happy Spaces session makes a thoughtful gift for new parents, birthdays, housewarmings, or anyone who could use a fresh start.

13. Can you help if I’m moving or downsizing?
Absolutely. I offer move prep, unpacking, and downsizing services to help you simplify and settle in faster with systems that work right from the start.

14. What makes Happy Spaces different?
I’m a former educator and a mom of three, with more than 15 years of experience designing functional, calm environments that support both learning and everyday life.

I know how much your environment shapes your energy and routines. While some Instagram-perfect systems look great in photos, they don’t always survive a busy week with kids at home. Don’t worry, your space will still look amazing.

I create real systems that last, not just pretty bins.

My approach is calm, practical, and nonjudgmental, completely tailored to real life.

15. Do you organize for kids too?
Yes. Playrooms, bedrooms, art spaces, and homework zones are some of my favorite projects.

I design systems that kids can actually use and maintain, so they can take part in keeping things organized.

16. Do you organize for businesses?
Yes. I also work with small businesses and professional offices.

If your workspace needs structure and calm, I’d love to help.
