Kind Words From Past Clients

“I live in a small apartment with my two sons & husband. Melissa helped me get serious about decluttering. And THEN, she made homes for the things that mattered most by putting them in the places where they most belonged. The systems she created throughout my home have lasted more than two years (though she comes for "touch ups"). We're still all in our tiny space, & it still feels more spacious & clearer than ever thanks to Melissa's kind, diligent, sensible and strategic organizing approach. Just say yes to working with Melissa & watch the magic unfold". - M.P.M.

"Melissa is the kindest person but also challenged me on whether I wanted to keep things that I needed to throw out. I would check in from time to time to make a decision or take a look at what she was planning before she proceeded. She took care of all the disposal & also took things to donate at the end of each session. It was the easiest process. Melissa sent links & recommendations immediately after each session for additional items I could buy for certain areas that didn't fall into the scope of the session. I will definitely use her again when the need arises!” - K.B.

"My office downtown closed due to covid & I had no time to pack & reorganize when I moved operations into my spare bedroom.  The mountains of paper kept getting bigger. I felt literally stuck. Melissa was patient, non judgmental & was good at finding the right way to organize every little spot, even the places I had been afraid to get into for years.  She has a great eye & was able to make things beautiful too."  - H.B.

"Having just moved from out of state, I was beyond overwhelmed when I found Melissa. I had a newborn AND I was working full time from home & my hands were literally tied. She helped unpack, find the right place for everything in the kitchen and bathrooms - my nightmare rooms! She worked quickly & asked me questions about where I would reach for things or where things would make the most sense. I've joked that had I not found her we might still be living out of boxes!" - Y.M.

“Melissa is a wizard of organization.  My kids’ toys were LITERALLY TAKING OVER MY HOME and I thought she might walk out the door.  She got right to it, sorted it into different boxes & bins, & amazingly, she used supplies that we already had around the house.  My boys were even willing to get rid of some of the stuff that they had grown out of once we saw it all together.  She made her way around the rest of the house & used her magic to make things more functional and easier to access.” G.W.

"I didn't go looking for an organizer to declutter or downsize. I was dealing with the loss of two close family members in a short period of time and ended up with a lot of their things. I couldn't bear the idea of disposing of anything yet and yet my home was too crammed for comfort. I was expecting a lot of judgment but Melissa was so positive, patient & helpful. She helped me label & store a lot of it, find the right places to send things I didn't want to keep, & she even helped me sift through and find special pieces that live around my home now." - S.P.R.

"My parents are aging in place in their home of 40 years. My sibling and I live in other states and we aren't there to help as much as we'd (or they'd) like. I started getting frantic calls from my mom about the whereabouts of estate docs, the deed, etc, and realized that we had no idea where anything was. Melissa got right to work sorting through boxes of random documents, shredding piles of ancient bank statements and finding the most updated copies of what we needed & packaged it all up in a clearly labeled binder. My parents trusted her too. I can't express how much peace of mind this gave our whole family." - R.D.

"Melissa goes above & beyond. She made the process so easy, asked all the right questions while working efficiently. Melissa stepped in and helped me when I didn't have the time to unpack an entire house. Her help allowed me to donate items that were no longer needed & organize everything else." - D.B.

“I worked with Melissa to clean out the crawl space and attic of my house to prepare for a move. I was not looking forward to the process - I thought it would be overwhelming given we had 15+ years of accumulation and each was packed. Melissa's ability to move stuff around in efficiency and sort made such a difference. It almost felt effortless. And, in just three days of working with her, these places were cleaned and organized. I feel lighter having purged all of that. Melissa really was the magic ingredient. I have cleaned & organized myself and it has taken weeks & so much effort.” - J.B.

“Melissa is great! She has a creative eye. She'll work with what you have or helps select decorative storage. She's compassionate about the things that have sentimental value & will give you the straight answer when you can't let go. That cool jacket from 1999 & the bassinet that takes up a quarter of your closet and your youngest is 8 for instance! She kept me on track and inspired me to continue freeing up & organizing other spaces in the apartment. Oh, & the Legos are no longer everywhere!" - J.P.

"My cafe has a tiny storage room & we still were only using about a fifth of it because it was crammed with who knows what. I couldn’t be there that day & Melissa sent me photos of what she found, asked me if it could be tossed (SO much of it was broken) & fixed up the rest. We were all shocked when we saw it finished. There was so much stuff back there that we could use instead of buying more. I’m annoyed with myself that we didn’t work on this sooner, but glad we finally did."  H.T.

“I LOVE the Container Store, & yet I never seem to be as organized as I'd like to be. Melissa made me laugh - I must have asked her if there was something we needed to buy from the Container Store 10 times, & she would say "let's see how this room feels after we pair down & have a look at what you already have". Turns out we had most of the containers we needed & she created a system that actually made sense! I’ll admit I don’t keep it perfect but it is so much faster to get it back into shape now.” - T.R.A.
