Most organizing and decluttering sessions have a minimum of 2-3 hours per appointment. In my experience, shorter sessions often do not produce optimal results. Specific minimums are indicated in each package description.

Planning to organize or design multiple rooms? Contact me for package pricing. Most clients save $200-500 when booking 4+ rooms, plus receive priority scheduling and a complimentary 30-day follow-up visit.

I offer sliding scale pricing for QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and low-income clients, depending on project scope and my current availability. Please mention this during your free phone consultation and we'll discuss options.

​I take your privacy seriously. All client information and details about your home are kept strictly confidential. I adhere to professional organizing industry standards of confidentiality, honesty, and integrity.

I reserve the right to withdraw from a project at any time if there are unsafe working conditions, if payment terms are not honored, or if the scope of work becomes significantly different from what was originally agreed upon.

I request that firearms and weapons be removed and secured from work areas before sessions begin.

​

I specialize in general organizing, decluttering, and space design for typical homes. I am not certified to work with severe hoarding situations, which require specialized training and support. If your situation involves significant hoarding challenges, I'm happy to refer you to certified hoarding specialists who have the expertise to help. There's no shame in needing specialized support - I just want to make sure you get the right help for your specific needs.

​My rates and policies are subject to change. Any changes will be communicated in advance and will not affect services already booked and confirmed.

If you have any questions about payment terms, cancellation policies, or anything else, please don't hesitate to ask during your free 15-minute consultation or at any time before booking services.

I'm here to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible!
