FAQ's
Q- What is a professional organizer?
A- Organizers come to your home or office as a consultant or coach. They work alongside you to create solutions and systems tailored to your current needs. They will help you form new habits that will increase your productivity and bring order and peace.
The official definition according to the POC website is,
“A professional organizer provides information, products and assistance to help individuals and businesses achieve their specific organizing needs. But what this translates to in reality is that these organizing professionals guide, encourage and educate you on how to overcome your organizing challenges by offering support, focus and direction. Professional organizers are excellent listeners, non-judgmental and extremely dedicated to their clients. They help you to do more in less time, with more energy. A professional organizer offers both consulting as well as hands-on organizing services, giving you the skills and tools you need to reduce stress and banish that awful feeling of being overwhelmed.”

Q- What if I'm not comfortable letting someone else see my space? I'm concerned they'll judge me.
A- I’m not here to judge you, but help you move forward. You’ll find me to be empathetic rather than critical.

Q- What if they tell others about me and my stuff?
A-This one makes me laugh because in my family I’m known as Zipper Lips! (I hope, affectionately?!) I’m not about to tell anyone I came to your place. I have a Letter of Agreement that lays out our confidentiality and, to top it all off, it is against the Code of Ethics of Professional Organizers in Canada to which I belong. No worries.

Q- Will they come in and throw away my stuff?
A- This is not something I will do. You make the decisions about your things. I won't get rid of anything without your permission. I’m not here to throw away your stuff. I will be considerate and respectful of your life.

Q- Will they come in, order me around, and tell me to do things their way?
A- Ha, let’s hope not! I will work with you to find solutions that will work for you. This is the only way to be sure the systems are sustainable. There is no one-size-fits-all way to do things. I won’t be a Miss Bossy-Pants.
