Let’s be real.
If you’re like the rest of us, (at least) one or two places in your house leave you feeling daunted or overwhelmed. You want your home to be a light and peaceful respite that works for everyone, but…
The kids’ playroom is so full they can’t even use it.
Someone in your family has become disabled or injured.
What started innocently enough as “a collection” has taken on a life of its own.
Parts of your home have become inaccessible or hard to use.
You know what’s happening in your garage/home office/basement but just can’t face it.
You’re moving or never fully moved in!

Declutter for good.
We all have areas of our home that instantly fill us with anxiety and dread. Where do you even start? Whether it’s a drawer or entire rooms of your home, not having control over your space is stressful and often emotional. While it can feel daunting at first, supported tidying up will actually help you de-stress, gain a sense of control, and improve your state of mind. Just imagine what that could do for your family life and relationships.
Andrea will help you navigate these spaces with kindness, patience, support, understanding and always without judgment.
Move in, move out, move on.
Moving can be one of the most stressful and overwhelming times, especially when you aren't sure where to start. There's downsizing, sorting, packing, moving and then unpacking. It can take a physical, mental and emotional toll on you - and your most important relationships. 😬
But with experienced structure, support and planning, your next move can be your BEST move ever. Andrea will be with you every step of the way to ensure your transition is as seamless as possible. She can even help you create organized systems in your new home so you start (and stay) fresh and tidy!
Downsize into what’s next.
Whether you dream of living more minimally, have found yourself in an empty nest, or experienced the loss of a loved one, you deserve an effortless transition into your next chapter. Let Andrea help you create manageable goals for yourself, while making the rest of the process pain-free.
We will work hand-in-hand sorting, organizing, packing and finding new homes for items you feel comfortable parting with. Andrea will get you where you want to be without feeling like you’ve lost or given away things you’ll regret or miss along the way. You and your family will be able to relax, knowing everything is under control.

Andrea is unafraid of grunt work, but she’s not a professional mover. If you cannot lift items or will need to move items heavier than 25 pounds, please find someone who can.
You will also be responsible for purchasing supplies like boxes, tape, drawer dividers and bins. Don’t worry though, Andrea will help with identifying what’s needed!
