What does a professional organizer do?

Most folks could probably guess what a professional organizer is but what they actually do may still be a bit of a mystery. One definition I found was, "one who assists individuals and businesses to improve their organizing systems and process.” Frankly, I don’t think that captures the essence of what a great organizer can do for you. 

 

From my perspective, a professional organizer is a trusted confidant who will help you overcome whatever clutter, disorganization, or stress-inducing challenge you’re facing that takes up way too much mental energy. Some people I’ve talked to think it feels indulgent to have a person come into their home to help them organize their space, followed by a comment like, “I got myself into this mess, I should really be the one to fix it.” And to that I think, why beat yourself up about it? We all have busy lives and sometimes keeping our homes tidy can feel unmanageable, especially if you’re facing a major life event. There is nothing to be ashamed of and it's perfectly acceptable - even healthy - to ask for help getting back into a productive groove.

 

So what exactly does this mean for you? Well, it all depends on your organizational needs. Whether you need help with home organization or home design and decor, a professional organizer can help you with:

  • Creating new space in your home such as a playroom, nursery, or home office

  • Getting rid of or donating unused items such as toys, furniture, sports equipment, or clothes

  • Making your home function better for your growing family by adding more storage space or rearranging a room

  • Packing and unpacking your belongings when moving into a new home

As a professional organizer who is certified both with the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) and as a Certified Interior Decorator (CID), I feel privileged to help my clients tackle spaces in their home so they can feel like a huge weight has been lifted (and perhaps some actual heavy lifting was required!). Honestly, nothing feels more gratifying to me than having a client give me a huge high-five after transforming a room with a, “I can’t believe we did this!” I can. And I knew you could, too.
