When I

first contacted Susan, I expected to receive the same sort of treatment I had received from previous “declutters” and “organizers” who tried to reign in my “situation.” These previous encounters always left me feeling deeply ashamed and traumatized by the experience, but what was the alternative?

Susan. Susan is the alternative.

Supportive, knowledgeable, kind, and PATIENT. She didn’t decide what stayed or went in my home, she didn’t reorganize my belongings where they “should” go, she didn’t chastise me for “letting things get so bad.” Instead, she encouraged me to “meet her where I was,” clutter and all, and then spent many patient weeks working with me as we mindfully moved through every room of my house, examining why I kept — or discarded — the items that had filled my home to capacity. Perhaps more importantly, we had many, many discussions about why I felt this experience was different and why this time I wouldn’t immediately return to my cluttered and disorganized ways.

The reason is actually pretty simple. This time, organizing and decluttering wasn’t something done to me, it was something done with me. Susan openly shared what she knew to enable me to maintain the changes on my own.
I’m extremely grateful that I found her because I feel like I got my life back.
