It really depends on the scope of the project. If your home has become cluttered over several years, it is unrealistic to expect it to be fully organized in a day or two. Claudia always recommends starting with a consultation so she can assess your space, understand your goals, and provide a realistic timeline estimate tailored to your situation.

Absolutely not. Every decision is yours. Claudia’s goal is to work collaboratively to streamline your space — she will never pressure you to part with anything you are not ready to release. She will help you identify items that no longer serve a purpose and guide you on responsible donation or disposal options, but you are always in control.

No special preparation is needed. You’ll be guided through the process every step of the way.

It can be helpful to think about what is bothering you most about your space and what you’d like to accomplish so we can focus on your priorities.

Please do not clean up, declutter, or pre-organize before the session. Seeing your space as it functions day-to-day helps identify what is and isn’t working.

If you already have them available, it can be helpful to gather a few basic supplies such as:

• Trash bags
• Paper bags for recycling
• Empty boxes, bags, or bins for sorting
• A vacuum or broom
• Cleaning supplies you normally use
• Any organizing containers or bins you already own

There’s no need to purchase anything before we begin. We can work with what you already have and determine together if any additional products are needed.

Yes! Virtual organizing is perfect for highly motivated clients who are ready to take action and want expert guidance on their schedule.

No. The hourly and package rates cover Claudia’s time and expertise. Organizing products such as bins, baskets, dividers, and labels are purchased separately. Claudia will provide specific product recommendations tailored to your space, aesthetic, and budget — so you only buy exactly what you need.

Both are complimentary and 30 minutes long. The in-home consultation happens at your location — Claudia walks through your space in person and creates a hands-on project plan. The virtual consultation is conducted via video call and works just as well for assessing your space and building a personalized plan. After either consultation you may choose to book an organizing session.
