How does in-home professional organizing work?
Getting Started
In your in-home professional organizing sessions, you will work side by side with your organizer to quickly and joyfully identify and meet your decluttering and organizing goals.
You will be making all of the decisions! There is good news and bad news here: decision-making can be tiring, but it gets easier with practice, and your organizer will help simplify things for you.
After careful listening, your organizer will offer customized suggestions for developing systems for storing things and can help you to decide what to do with things you no longer need. The work may feel slow at first, but as you and your organizer work together, you will establish decluttering and organizing criteria that will make the process go more quickly. You will also find clarity and focus for your priorities.
You are building your decluttering and organizing “muscles” and, like a personal trainer,
Parallel Play
If you are working on personal or business projects and have trouble finding time and focus to complete them, you and your organizer can choose a task for the organizer to tackle while you focus on your own personal or business goals. A number of our clients have benefited from this “parallel play” model. This model works best when you and your organizer set clear goals and establish regular check-in times.
Maintenance
All new systems will benefit from routine maintenance. The organizing systems that you and your organizer establish will help you to create new habits that make maintenance a part of your daily or weekly routine.
An experienced set of eyes along with compassionate and caring professional support is often just what you need to shift stuck energy and see your space in a new way!
In-home organizing is an excellent choice if:
You require assistance in lifting and moving objects in your home or office.
You would like for your organizer to take donations to a donation location near you.
You live within the reach of our in-person services. We offer in-person services in the D.C. metropolitan area and in the Boulder/Denver area of Colorado.
You want another pair of hands to help with the physical work
You feel our “Get ‘er Done!” (paralell play) services is just what you need
If any of the above applies to you, we are happy to accompany you on your decluttering and organizing journey in person. Your organizer will help you to work through challenging areas and work with you to create more ease and joy in your home or office.

What if my place is the worst you have ever seen?
It won’t be. We have seen it all! We understand that “life happens” and clutter accumulates. You are not your clutter! Your organizer will guide you to move through the areas where you feel stuck or overwhelmed. Complete confidentiality and non-judgement are hallmarks of our work.

Get 'Er Done! (aka: Parallel Play)
“My organizer from Mindful Decluttering & Organizing was great. I was able to get some much-needed work done while she: cleared off and organized around my desk area · helped me with organizing and filing paperwork · fixed the CDs and tapes in my room and reorganized bookshelves. We also did a couple of things together. She was very helpful and worked independently without needing me except when it was important to check in. She also checked in with me to make sure I was working, as I had asked.” – Anonymous

What our clients are saying
“Through working with the organizers at Mindful Decluttering & Organizing, I have been able to make my physical space and surroundings more of a priority than they have been for many years. The organizers are full of great ideas, but never bring their personal preferences or any hint of judgment to our work together. No matter how overwhelmed I feel, we can always see the way forward and come up with the next practical steps. I would highly recommend Mindful Decluttering and Organizing, LLC. Their support has made me more conscious of my patterns and habits and of all the choices I have available to me.”
“The questioning, listening, guidance & hands-on support allowed me to organize my office in a way that allowed me to increase my productivity and thus better serve my clients. When I needed to move my office, I initially felt overwhelmed by the volume of materials to be sorted & transported. Professional support was invaluable as she helped me to break what seemed like a monumental task into manageable steps.”
