Dear Caroline,

Thank you so much for all of your help! I think I am the world's hardest person to organize. Given an "artistic inclination," a pack rat personality and the profession of teacher, I have neither the time nor tendency to edit and organize my environment!

You came to my home and helped me sort, organize and eliminate mismanaged piles of clutter, art supplies and teaching tools. Although I was dreading the "throwing away" part, you approached each situation with systematic sensitivity and I never felt like I was sacrificing my memories or my things. The most amazing thing is that I have been able to maintain the systems that you put in place.

You also helped me organize my classroom, an environment of constant use and change. I can still remember the day I needed a certain tool and opened a cupboard to find it in just the right place; at arm's length and accessible. I normally spend an incredible amount of time searching for items.

Unorganized piles of materials create a constant presence of stress. In the back of my mind, I am always thinking about what I should clear away, file, or sort. It is so nice to have systems in place for the everyday clutter. I feel less stress and can now enjoy free time.

Sincerely,

K. S., Teacher

Caroline understands the stress and overwhelm people feel about their mess, and she exudes a sense of calm and confidence that helps us to get through it. She is supportive and really listens. She helped us make optimal use of the space we have and gave us realistic solutions. Caroline helped our family create order and systems that have endured long past the time she worked with us. Having a house that is organized and easier to keep clean has greatly reduced my stress level.

Hi Caroline!

Yesterday was awesome -- who knew that cleaning and organizing my apartment as a team could be so much fun?! :) ... I am SOOO glad I found you! And now I just keep looking around at my nice neat place and instead of being filled with guilt and dread, my mind is busily hatching plans for the next steps to making it a real home. Such a lovely feeling!

Caroline,

I would like to thank you for organizing my office at work.  Immediately, I could feel the difference.  I am more focused, productive and decisive in my job as manager with all the clutter out of the way and knowing where everything is.  The greatest lesson I learned from you is that its okay to throw things away, I had been saving everything that was ever given to me by my staff, co-workers and boss for the entire 8 years I've been with the company, so things were out of control and you helped me get my worklife back in control.

Thank you very much and I look forward to working with you again to get ready for the new year.

Angela Covington, Manager, TriNET

Caroline was an enormous help for me. I was drowning in stuff in my front closet, and could barely open the door. Caroline very patiently worked with me to clear the clutter, and organize everything. I couldn't wait to show people my closet when we were done! What a wonderful feeling of relief. Another time, she helped me organize my kitchen. She was very strategic and professional all the way through, and figured out where to put my different items in a very logical manner. It has made an enormous difference- my kitchen is now easy to maneuver, and I can always find what I'm looking for. Caroline made a huge difference in the process and I want to thank her!

Marianne, Manager and Mom

I have found great relief in attending to my everyday business now that Caroline has helped me devise systems that work! I felt disorganized, unproductive, and confused with the smallest things on my to do list. Now that I have systems in place that work, I can tend to my piles effectively and get back to what's really important and that's spending time with my kids and friends. I have relied on Caroline to figure out the details, we worked collaboratively to get me to a place that is effective and sustainable. Caroline works with me in a non-judgmental way, and I trust her implicitly to help me, even in the most personal and sensitive of areas. She helped me orchestrate a move which entailed packing, organizing a storage unit, and planning for a new home.

Dear Caroline, Thank you again for all your competent help for the young adult student in our family. Your twice-monthly meetings through the semester enabled your client to persevere past the personal challenges of ADD, successfully complete studies and receive a degree. It was wonderful to be able to attend commencement and host a family celebration of this milestone achievement. Your patience and resourcefulness were important keys to a wonderful outcome in our case.

Caroline has helped me with home organization as well as career and family challenges. She is a fabulous resource and problem solver. If she doesn't have the immediate answers she'll stick with the problem until she finds a solution. Caroline's intelligence, honesty and conscientious approach are assets that make her services so valuable.

Caroline helped me get past my roadblocks for organizing my office and eliminating unnecessary papers. After working with her, I wasn't so overwhelmed anymore and I was motivated to keep going on my own.

S.M., Consultant

Caroline helped me organize my computer armoire workstation over three years ago, and it's still working just great. I have three small kids, so it's important for me to have an organized space where I can accomplish my tasks efficiently when I only have a few minutes at a time.

B.B. Mother of Three

I was afraid my garage project would take at least a week, but working with Caroline, we were able to get it done in a day and a half, and she gave me lots of motivational help along the way.

K.M., Homeowner

Caroline has made a huge difference in our lives. My daughter and I were both frustrated. She is a highly capable student but was failing to complete assignments on time. She was spending hours on homework. I was constantly checking for what was due and when it was due. We were both on edge with each other. In just a few sessions, Caroline helped my daughter to understand her learning style and helped her create a plan to set priorities and manage her time.

It has been over one year since Caroline met with my daughter and she has been completing her homework and assignments independently since then. My daughter and I both have confidence in her ability to manage and complete her assignments. She is also able to take "guilt free" breaks as part of the plan, something she couldn't do before.

My daughter and I enjoy our new relationship. I feel I can support her rather than nag her. Caroline has given her tools that will be of value for the rest of her life. I highly recommend Caroline's services.

Caroline has a great ability to see the big picture and how the space should flow. She helped me settle in to my dining room/office area after living out of boxes for six months after our move.
