I primarily serve clients in Lewis and Thurston counties. My service area extends 30 minutes in each direction from my home base in Centralia, WA. Travel fees will be assessed for jobs outside this radius.

First, commit yourself to organizing. A strong “why” will motivate you and guide future decisions. Establish a vision for the spaces you hope to organize. This is the time to let go of what you think your home should look like based on TV shows, magazines, and social media. Instead, answer these questions for yourself: What does home mean to me? How do I want it to feel, function, and look?

Next, we will edit your belongings using a values- and joy-based approach. Focus on choosing to surround yourself with the right things and mindfully discarding the rest. At this stage, remember that the space will get worse before it gets better, but do not worry!

Then, we curate functional systems based on your needs and how you use your items. Instead of buying new storage products, I prioritize repurposing what you already own first.

Lastly, I teach you how to sustain these systems and help kickstart new habits that you can keep practicing and building on.  

We start each session by checking in to see how you feel and set goals for the day. At the end of each session, we review what we accomplished and share feedback. I’ll take this opportunity to offer follow-up recommendations and schedule your next appointment.

My goal is to help you create a more clutter-free home that supports your daily living. An important part of the process is being discerning about the things you love and use while identifying what weighs you down and holds you back.

I will ask questions, offer advice and encouragement, and keep you accountable for your goals, but ultimately, you will decide what to keep and what excess is to you.

The time required to complete a project depends on factors such as the size of the space, your specific goals, the number of items involved, how quickly you make decisions, the initial level of organization, potential distractions, and whether you choose to complete homework in between sessions. I strive to make each session productive.

On average, a three-hour session provides enough time to tackle a small category or sub-category, or a small organizing project.

Each project is unique and depends on several factors. If you choose to work with me after our phone call, we will schedule an in-home assessment. This is a time to look through your space and discuss your project goals and budget. We will create a plan that works for you and review and sign the client service agreement before starting any work.

I believe in and practice repurposing or using what clients already have in their homes instead of buying new items. Being intentional, economical, creative, and sustainable helps to keep costs down.

Investing in professional organizing goes beyond having all your belongings in their place. Organizing is a tool to reduce clutter, decrease stress, improve productivity, and save time, allowing you to shift your energy to other pursuits. Farewell Clutter Co.’s services are intended to bring value by increasing your quality of life and offering greater peace of mind.

While I aim to use what a client already has in their homes for storage solutions, some may want specialized storage containers and organizing products. These are not included in the cost of the sessions. I can offer recommendations if a space can benefit from specific products or if there is a desire to enhance the aesthetics. Any research and shopping done for the client will be billed at an hourly rate. Other direct expenses of the service, including, but not limited to, travel fees, such as parking and tolls, as well as supplies and products approved by the client, are the client’s responsibility and will be billed at the time of service.

Payment is due at the end of every session. I accept payment by cash, check, and Zelle. There will be a charge of $35 for any check returned for insufficient funds.

Each session includes one carload of donations to be taken away. The remaining donations, garbage, and recycling removal are not included in the price of the session. Local resources can also be provided if you prefer to do this yourself. I do not remove hazardous waste material.

While it isn’t possible to keep everything out of the landfill, I strive to engage in responsible disposal and donation practices, as sustainability is a core value. Donations will go to local organizations that support our community, and other unwanted items will be disposed of ethically when possible.

Clarify why you want to get organized and how you want to feel in your newly tidied space. The organization process often represents a turning point in one’s life, so this is a great opportunity to create a vision for the future. 

There is no need to clean or spruce things up beforehand. It is best to leave your space as is so I can understand how you are currently functioning (or not) in it. This may feel vulnerable, but rest assured, my top priority is to meet you where you are in a non judgmental way.  

Sustainability is at the forefront of my practice so it is not necessary to buy storage or organizing products before we begin. We will use what you already have first. Any extra boxes, bags, and containers can be set aside for storing donations and trash.

Rest, eat a hearty meal, and hydrate well before your session!

When a client books an appointment, that time slot is reserved exclusively for them and becomes unavailable for anyone else to use. Please kindly provide at least 48 hours advance notice if you need to cancel or change an appointment. Cancellations, rescheduled appointments, and no-shows within 48 hours (except in cases of true emergencies or serious illness) are subject to a cancellation fee of 100% of the scheduled work due prior to scheduling future sessions. There is no cancellation fee for the consultation call or in-home assessment; however, I may decline to work with the client in the future.
