How It Works
-
Reach out for a phone consultation. Expect to be on about 15-30 minutes. No pressure. I’ll get a feel for what your needs are and you can ask me anything. If you’d like, you can send me pictures of your space.
-
If it sounds like I can help—and you feel good about it too—we schedule a 4-hour organizing session.
-
My fee is $250 for a 4-hour session. I’ll send you a link for a $50 deposit to hold your session date and time. Help is on the way!
-
I arrive with my smiling face at our scheduled time. You show me around and we talk through a plan. If you’re comfortable with it, I take before pictures.
-
I’ll be there with you every step of the way. Sessions typically involve sorting, purging, then putting your chosen items back in a satisfyingly organized fashion. I’ll offer solutions that are realistic to maintain.
If we wrap up early, we can organize something else to fill the time. If you’re okay with it, I take after pictures.
-
At the end of the session, the remaining $200 is due by cash, check, or card.
I take one carload of donations with me when I go so it’s one less thing for you to worry about. I’ll do my best to honor your preferred charity and can send a photo of the receipt.
You’re left with a lighter space and a clearer mind.
-
My priority is to use or repurpose what you already have for storage. If we decide you need extras—like bins, containers, shelves, or hooks—I’ll send you links to look over.
Many projects require multiple sessions, especially when downsizing. If yours does, I’ll provide an estimated timeline so you know what to expect.
-
Each session follows the same rhythm: book, deposit, transformation. Payment happens at the end, and I’ll take a carload of donations off your hands. When you reach your 10th session, it’s completely free.
FAQs
-
It’s hard to know ahead of time, but once I’m there, I can give you a ballpark idea of what to expect.
There’s no need to book more than one session unless you want to. We work one session at a time so you can get relief right away without committing to anything long term. Your space. Your pace.
-
No. You’re always in control of what stays and what goes. I’ll help you sort through things, ask the right questions, and guide you toward decisions that feel right for you. Nothing leaves unless you're comfortable with it.
-
I love finding ways to repurpose what you already have, and often that’s enough once we declutter. If we decide a few extras would make things easier, I’ll send you links after the session so you can choose what works for you.
-
Whatever fits in my car! Since it’s a crossover, I can’t take large furniture, but most everything else is fair game. I’m also happy to honor your preferred charity when I can, and I’ll send a receipt if you’d like one.
-
Sure. Anything over a 30‑minute drive has a small additional fee to cover time and mileage, but most of the Cincinnati area falls within that range for me.
-
While I love (most) children and pets, they can be distracting. Please set us up for success by coordinating care in advance—or at least ensuring they’re otherwise occupied.
Other than that, nothing. It’s helpful for me to see your space in its usual state, so no need to tidy up.
-
Yes. Your 10th session is completely free. Because organizing is rarely a one-and-done experience, I offer this as a thank-you for inviting me into your space and continuing the journey at your own pace.
-
If it’s more than 24 hours in advance, your deposit will hold another date and time.
-
I’m not a total wimp, but I have my limits. You may need someone else to move large or heavy furniture.
My Story
Looking back, I think the encroaching plastic is where it started.
I was a new parent in a small apartment and though my casserole-delivering aunt cautioned how quickly the plastic toys would accumulate with a toddler, I was still surprised by it.
It started small and tasteful with a little color, artisanal wooden toys and fabric dolls that complemented my eclectic decor. Then came the plastic… the holiday and birthday gifts (she was the first grandchild on both sides after all), the unbeatable deals at the second-hand store down the street, the hand-me-downs from parents of older kids who had dealt with their own deluge.
As much as I wanted everything for my daughter, I knew I needed to balance it with my own breathing room. I needed space and I felt like I was losing control. Something had to change, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I needed help. I called my sister.
Having another set of eyes was invaluable in solving my problem, but my sister’s gift of creating lasting organizing solutions was what really stuck. With her guidance, I was able to clearly see the route from a state of overwhelm to one of harmony… and I couldn’t have done it alone.
I began to hone my organizational skills in other aspects of my life, from program director and personal assistant to helping friends and family get their spaces in order in my spare time. While I wasn’t always “naturally organized,” I’m now considered the “organized friend.”
With every client, I feel the immense reward of helping to empower a new friend to live and breathe their best life without the weight of chaos and clutter. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to help you!
We’re in this together.
Fill out the form and I’ll be in touch within 1 business day. You can also reach me at 513.484.8588 or liz@yourorganizedfriend.com.
Kind Words
“After battling the chaos of clutter most of my life, I really didn’t believe I would ever conquer it. Liz was exactly who I needed to help untangle my mess. First of all, she’s a delight and fun to work with. Her approach is hands-on, methodical and focused, but never high-pressured.
One of the most gratifying tasks we completed was to cull and categorize my decades-long stockpile of sewing and crafting items, getting them sorted, labeled, and conveniently stowed away into one - ONE - closet!! Even though she told me we could get it all in there I was gobsmacked when she actually made it happen, and with everything conveniently accessible!
Liz has helped me bring order out of many years of chaos and it’s been life-changing. I enthusiastically recommend her services!”
- The Craft Room Conqueror
“I’ve always found it difficult to get rid of clothes, even items I don’t like or never wear. Liz helped me confront my overflowing closet with compassion and patience. I never felt judged or rushed, because she met me at my level of readiness to let go of items and proposed strategies that made the emotional barrier much less daunting. She also offered realistic solutions that I continue to use to maintain an organized closet. I am so grateful for her guidance!”
- The Wardrobe Warrior
“I thought I was organized enough, as I had managed to fit many items on shelves and tuck others away under the stairs. However, I realized that I could benefit from some help. I had no idea how much of a difference it would make.
With Liz's assistance, I methodically sorted through all my belongings. While all the decisions were ultimately mine, Liz offered valuable structure and guidance that made the process efficient and manageable. To my surprise, it took much less time than I expected, and I now have the skills to maintain my organized items on my own.”
