Prepare for Your Home Organizing Session

Tips from Your Professional Organizer & Certified KonMari® Consultant

Our appointment is booked, and your tidying adventure is about to begin! Below are a few helpful tips to help you feel ready and supported ahead of our session.

 1. You

  • Envision your ideal lifestyle. This will serve as your guiding star during our journey. Jotting it down or gathering visual inspiration (like a Pinterest board) can be helpful.

  • Minimize interruptions. If possible, arrange care for children, pets, or anything else that might pull your attention away during our session.

  • Fuel up. Have a good meal beforehand, and keep water and snacks nearby to stay energized. I’ll be bringing tea and snacks for myself—no need to worry about me!

2. Your Home + Belongings

  • Please don’t tidy up beforehand. It’s important I see your space as-is to understand your routines, lifestyle, and challenges. This helps me support you better.

  • Set aside any private items. If there’s anything especially personal you’d prefer not to share or sort through during our session, feel free to move it to a private space ahead of time.

  • Save boxes, bags, and small containers.

    • During the decluttering phase, we’ll need large bags or boxes for items to donate or discard.

    • During the organizing phase, small to medium containers (like tea bins, tech boxes, shoe boxes, cosmetic boxes, or jars) can be repurposed to organize items neatly in drawers or on shelves.

Optional: If you have any organizing products you’ve purchased or are considering using, feel free to set those aside for us to review together.

3. Logistics

  • Access & Parking. I’ll follow the instructions you provided in the intake form. If anything changes—gate codes, parking passes, etc.—please feel free to text me before our session.

  • Parking fees. If there are any parking-related costs, I’ll add those to your invoice or request reimbursement.

4. Rescheduling & Cancellations

  • Rescheduling or canceling more than 48 hours in advance can be done directly through the website.

  • Less than 48 hours’ notice? Please text me so I can plan accordingly.

  • Same-day cancellations (less than 24 hours’ notice) may be considered a used session without refund. I always do my best to accommodate, but appreciate your understanding of this policy.

  • All sessions and packages must be used within one (1) year of the original purchase date; any unused sessions will expire after that time and will not be refunded.

Final Notes

  • Dress comfortably. We may be sitting, bending, or moving items around.

  • Be kind to yourself. Tidying can bring up emotions, and that’s okay. You’re not expected to do this perfectly—and I am here to help every step of the way!

  • Optional: Bring a notebook or your phone if you’d like to jot down insights or reminders during our session.
