Step 1
Complimentary Phone Consultation
You’ll know by the end of our phone call if Heart and Home is the right fit for you. We’ll discuss the space (or spaces) you need help with, and I’ll explain how everything works. You can ask me anything about the process and share any concerns or considerations you may want me to know before working together.
Step 2
$75 In-Home Assessment, or try a Virtual Assessment over Zoom
After the initial phone consultation, we will schedule a Home Assessment. This can be done in person or virtually. We’ll tour the space together, allowing me to make initial suggestions, take measurements, and set a few organizing goals together. At the end of the Home Assessment, we will create a plan of action and schedule your first organizing session.
Step 3
$85/hour Organizing sessions
After the Home Assessment is completed, we’ll dive in and get to work during our next session together. Typical organizing sessions last 3 hours.
We will work as a team—I’ll be by your side as we accomplish your organizing goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during an Organizing Session?
I completely understand the sensitivity of our clients' needs. It’s not easy to bring someone into our homes' most personal and disorderly parts. Some people might consider their clutter a character flaw, but I heartily disagree—we all have different gifts and abilities!
My goal is to build a relationship with each client and part of that relationship involves respecting your privacy and never judging. As a National Association of Professional Organizers member, I abide by their code of ethics.
You can expect kindness and compassion, as well as encouragement to assess the value and utility of your things as we work toward your organizing goals and priorities.
Will you make me get rid of all my stuff?
No. I will never make you get rid of anything you do not want to, but I will help you decide what is most important to you.
A few things to note:
I’ll never make any decisions without asking you first.
I’ll never shame you for having “too much stuff” or feeling overwhelmed.
I won’t make you get rid of anything, but I’ll ask questions to help you identify the belongings that mean the most to you.
I’m here to help you identify a purpose and a place for everything. In the end, the decisions are ultimately yours, and I will respect and support your wishes and priorities.
I don’t believe being organized means being a minimalist, but it can! It’s all about knowing where everything is so you can find it when you need it. If you need abundance, we want to celebrate that—in an orderly fashion!
You can get through a lot of tough things in life if your home is your sanctuary — and if someone has your back.
Going through a challenging life transition is overwhelming and sometimes isolating. You need a space that comforts and restores you, as well as someone who understands and supports you, so you don’t feel alone in a challenging time. I specialize in supporting families through difficult times like divorce or the death of a loved one.
Even positive life transitions can have a big impact on the home and create the need for organization.
“We lost a beloved husband and father a little less than a year ago, so sorting and reorganizing was emotionally challenging for us. Janice gently encouraged, but never pushed, us to keep some of his special items and donate others to people who might need them. She was an integral part of the process of letting go; we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to help us through that!”
