I’ve got answers! Just check out the lists below.

I'm located in Portland, Oregon and work with the awesome folks located in the extended Portland Metro area, northwest Oregon, southwest Washington, but I also offer in-person services in Anchorage Alaska and the nearby Mat-Su Valley. I have family in both states, so I move between them!

If you need services during a time when I am not physically in your state, I can also support you through virtual sessions over Zoom.

In-home services are available within the city of Portland and surrounding areas (such as Gresham, Beaverton, Tualatin, Oregon City, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Vancouver & Camas WA, etc.). Travel to and from my client’s home is always included for distances up to 25 miles each way, calculated from my southeast Portland, OR office.

When my clients are outside that travel radius, here are a few things to know: 

• I charge the current IRS reimbursement rate (view here) beyond 25 miles (you're not charged for the first 25 miles each way).

• Commute time beyond the first 30 minutes each way will be billed at my standard hourly rate.

• I'll keep track of the mileage and travel charges throughout the project and will include them on invoices sent over the course of our project together - for either organizing products (if applicable) or the final project invoice. 

For folks who live in an area that isn’t commutable on a daily basis, I do offer intensive 3+ day sessions. Please reach out and let’s chat about what you need! I'll send a proposal your way.

Please start by booking a complimentary consultation call (you can do that here). We'll discuss any questions you may have and make sure that my services are aligned with your needs. If you’d like more info about the process, you can read about that here!

Note: Because each project is so unique, work sessions cannot be scheduled without first having a consultation call.

You can expect smiles.

We'll work hard, make sure you’re getting big-time value for your money, and we’ll focus on meeting your goals - and even exceeding them!

Before your first session, I’ll send you a link to a webpage that tells you all the good stuff you need to know to prepare. It’s all pretty easy. Trust me - we’ll work hard and have a wonderful time doing it. I bring a fun and energetic vibe to all of my sessions - along with some laughter. That may not be a fit for everyone, and that’s ok. But if that feels like it’s up your alley, then give me a ring! I’d love to chat with you.

And… if you’re interested in Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method™, then we’ll apply those principals to your project, working through the five categories in order. You can learn more about these categories on this page.

After you schedule our first paid session together, you'll receive an email with all the information you need before we get started.

But in the meantime... although temping, please resist the urge to clean up. Seeing your home in its natural state provides me greater insight into our starting point, your challenges, and your needs.

Buying Things: Typically, clients already have what they need in their homes. I'll let you know ahead of our session if there are things we'll need, and you'll have the time to grab them if you need to. But most of the time, they're things you'll already have on-hand.

As we move through the process, we will use temporary storage solutions, again making use of what you have on-hand, and if we find that your space could benefit from specific tools or if you’re interested in enhancing the aesthetics, I’ll be more than happy to offer recommendations.

Great question, but honestly the answer depends on your home, your schedule, and you.

This isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, simply because every client and every project is wonderfully unique, and the time required can vary significantly based on your quite a few things:

• specific goals,

• the quantity of items involved,

• the time taken to make decisions,

• the initial level of organization,

• potential distractions during our session(s),

• and whether you choose to complete “homework” in-between our sessions together.

I’ll be better able to provide a more accurate estimate for you after our initial session.

If you're hoping for a quick, hands-off organizing solution that simply takes what you own and finds a way to organize it in a visually pleasing manner, this may not be the right service for you.

You can learn more about Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method™ on this page.

Working with me and using the KonMari Method™ will be a great choice for you if:

• You want to organize your home once and for all, learning the tools and skills needed to maintain your beautiful space.

• You might want to take a look at your ideal lifestyle - what it is now and what you might want it to be! Setting up a home environment that supports a lifestyle you want to live is an amazing experience.

• You want to be part of the process, choosing what to keep as you move forward toward creating a home that best supports your ideal lifestyle.

• You want to free up your time to do the things that will bring you joy, living your very best life. Make your moments count!

• One donation drop off, to the limit of the space of my vehicle, is included with each session. 

• While you're responsible for handling the remaining donation items, as well as any trash and recycling, I can absolutely provide a great list of local donation centers, recycling facilities, and disposal options to make the process easier for you.

• If you would like help arranging for the consignment or sale of certain items, this is done on a case-by-case basis and is billed at my standard hourly rate.

You’re always welcome to reschedule when needed (and I hope you do!). However, to keep scheduling smooth and fair for all clients, a rescheduling and cancellation policy is in place.

I understand that unexpected situations can arise, and you may need to reschedule or cancel an appointment. With 48 hours or more notice, there is no penalty, allowing for proper adjustments.

However, if you cancel with less than 48 hours' notice, you will incur a charge of 1 hour, which will be deducted from your pre-paid session time. For no-shows or cancellations within 5 hours of the scheduled time, the full session rate will be deducted.

1 Free Pass: Because we all have those crazy days when we wake up sick or life just happens unexpectedly, I’m happy to provide one "Life Happens" pass to each client during our time working together. That pass can be used only once though - so choose wisely, my friend! :)

(On the flipside, if I ever need to reschedule with less than 48 hours' notice, I will add 1 hour to your pre-paid session time. I absolutely respect your time. Oh - and I get one free "Life Happens" pass, too!)

Thank you for your understanding.
