Solutions for the critical mess

Barbara's Mission
To simplify and energize peoples lives through organization.

Barbara's Background: Barbara has been organizing professionally since 1995. Her background includes business administration, marketing, importing, advertising account management and desktop publishing. She raised 3 children, helping each to get into a great college, while acting as the sole geriatric care manager for her parents, completing her BA in Psychology and juggling a busy household. This gives her an even better understanding of her clients needs in organizing their own busy households, businesses and lives.

Barbara's Personal Statement: I see organizing as the essential first step in creating a simpler life. Our lifestyle in the "00's" seems to be spinning increasingly out of control. We collect more and more things, do more and more things, and have virtual access to everything. Some call it "The Age of Overwhelm." Organizing is grounding, reels us in and causes us to rethink our priorities.

Our physical spaces, mental spaces and calendars have indeed reached critical mass. Going through our items, calendars and choices and consciously rethinking our relationship with them is essential to putting an end to personal chaos. This is the essence of my work.

I am pleased to be able to offer and implement a unique array of innovative methods, systems and solutions for getting and staying organized. Through collaboration, I am instinctively able to find just the right systems that will work for each client. I work with integrity and empathy in an authentic gentle non-judgmental way. These qualities along with my natural born knack for organizing and sense of humor are the personal gifts I bring to our working relationship.

Benefits occur on every level: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, professional and financial. Once the work is complete my clients find that they regain a sense of balance in life. Priorities fall into place. Stuck energy becomes unstuck. Space exists for creativity to evolve. I welcome hearing from you and finding out how I can be of assistance.

As you approach getting organized, consider this...

Time is so short these days...
You deserve to live and work in an uncluttered space, where you can find things when you need them.

We are not all born organizers and asking for help is a positive step.

Your organizing project will be most successful if you work with an organizer whose background is closely matched to your needs.

By asking questions and understanding the nuances of each client's needs, Barbara finds the key to successful organizational systems.

"Simplify, simplify."
		- Henry David Thoreau, Walden
