During the phone consultation and in-person assessment, we will discuss what level and type of assistance will be provided. 

In some cases we do the majority of the work without the client present, only bringing them in for key decision-making at specific points. This streamlined approach works well for many people and involves less client time. It also requires a willingness by the client to entrust the organizer to make the majority of decisions independently. 

In other cases we work along-side clients, supporting and guiding them as we declutter and organize together. This process generally takes longer, as it involves going at the client's pace, including respecting the client's need to reflect (when desired) in order to make the right decision. 

Most times the best approach is somewhere between these two extremes. We will determine together how to collaborate to organizer your space.

Sessions are scheduled at your convenience, with evening and weekend times possible without additional premium fees.

The initial phone consultation is conducted at no charge. A fee applies if an on-site consultation is required. All further services are charged on an hourly basis, with additional charges for travel outside of the GTA, shopping, etc. HST is applicable for all charges. See the Pricing page for more information.

Gift certificates are available (see FAQ below).
