Frequently Asked Questions

I mainly serve clients in Lewis and Thurston Counties, including Chehalis, Centralia, Tumwater, Olympia, and Lacey. My standard service area is within 30 minutes of Centralia, but I am happy to discuss projects farther away; travel fees apply for locations outside this radius.

We begin with your "why." Establishing a clear vision for your home is the foundation of our work together. From there, we edit your belongings using a joy-based approach — consciously choosing what to keep and mindfully discarding the rest. Finally, we create functional systems tailored to your habits and teach you the skills to sustain this order long-term.

Ultimately, every decision is yours. My role is to act as a guide — asking the right questions to help you distinguish between what supports your life and what weighs you down. I provide the encouragement and accountability you need to reach your goals, but you remain the final curator of your home.

The timeline varies based on the volume of items, your decision-making pace, and the size of the space. On average, a three-hour session allows us to tackle a specific sub-category or a focused organizing project. During our in-home assessment, we will discuss your goals and create a plan that fits your schedule.

Every project is unique. After an initial phone consultation, we schedule an in-home assessment to discuss your budget and goals. Beyond a tidy space, you are investing in reduced stress and reclaimed time. My approach prioritizes repurposing what you already own so the process is as sustainable as possible.

I prioritize repurposing your existing storage to keep costs low. Specialized products, if needed, are not included in the session fee. Any research or shopping performed on your behalf is billed at an hourly rate. Travel fees, parking, or tolls incurred for your project are the client’s responsibility.

Payment for individual sessions is due at the end of each session. Packages must be paid in full at the time of booking to reserve your dates on my calendar. I accept cash, check, and Zelle. Please note there is a $35 fee for any returned checks.

To honor the intentionality of our work, I encourage clients to personally drop off their donations. Completing this final step provides a sense of closure and allows you to fully experience the "lightness" of your new space.

Sustainability & Ethics — Responsible disposal is a core value of my practice. While it isn't possible to keep everything out of the landfill, I provide a curated list of local organizations and resources for ethical recycling to assist you. Please note that I do not remove hazardous waste.

Convenience Add-On — For seniors or those needing additional support, I offer a Donation Haul-Away service for an add-on fee per carload.

(Note: Garbage and recycling removal are not included in the session price.)

There is no need to clean or spruce up — seeing your space in its natural state helps me understand how it currently functions for you. To prepare, simply reflect on your 'why' and the vision you have for your home. On the day of, please make sure you are well-rested and hydrated. If you have extra boxes or bags on hand, set them aside for sorting.

Because I reserve your dates exclusively for you, I require at least 48 hours' notice for any changes. Cancellations made within 48 hours are subject to a fee of 100% of the scheduled work. There is no fee for cancelling a phone consultation or in-home assessment, though I reserve the right to decline future bookings.
