  I’ve slammed cupboard doors and muttered to myself while shoving groceries into already jammed spaces. I’ve sighed opening my closet because there’s nowhere for the clean clothes to go. I’ve felt defeated by the clutter left after the kids go to bed.

You’re nodding your head, right? You know this pain.

And you’re shaking your head now, thinking about all those bins and labels you’ve bought over the years that never did the trick. 

Do you know why they didn’t work?
They weren’t customized to you & your space.

You need a system that works for you!

“Working with Sonya was so rewarding! She made me feel comfortable about my clutter, then helped me make it disappear! Working through the process with her helped me understand why things weren’t working before.”

I love the challenge of helping organize each new space I enter. I can do this in person, or through video chats. We can tackle any space you want – fridge, freezer, closet, toy bins, storage space. We’ll walk through how you use the space, what doesn’t seem to work, and then we’ll make a plan that works for you.

FAQs

Q: Is a professional organizer worth it?

A: I believe that it is. (I’ve personally experienced the benefits of organization as a stay-at-home mom for 3 1/2 years)

If you do decide to hire a professional organizer, it’s really important that you find one that works in a way that works best for you. After all, if you can’t keep your place organized once the organizer leaves, then it’s definitely not worth the cost.

Q: I’m not sure if a professional organizer is for me since I already have a cleaning lady?

A: The main difference between the two is that a cleaner/cleaning lady will remove soil, dust, dirt, grease etc. from the spaces in your home AND an organizer will help its clients realize their ideal life and home potential. The goal of an organizer is to create customized systems and solutions for you and your family in your home that will last the test of time.

Q: I’m creative, and I’m worried: won’t organizing my work space and supplies destroy my inspiration?

A: No, it will not. Organization will actually bring clarity to your space which will subsequently grant more space for your creativity.

Q: I feel like my whole home needs organizing, where should I have you help me?

A: Each individual client is unique so it all depends on where you feel the most stress or frustration, which area looks the worst to you, or what area that is most critical for your household to function.

For example, while the kids’ playroom might look the worst, the kitchen might need to come first if it is the epicenter of your family; if you eat, talk, pay bills, sort mail, and do schoolwork in the kitchen, it’s a room that needs to be functional immediately! For others, areas such as their bedroom, basement or garage might be more important or central to the function of their household.

Q: I’ve always been disorganized — Is there hope for me?

A: Of course there is! Organization can be taught. We can start small and then work our way up so that you can grasp a good understanding of the systems before moving on to other areas or spaces in your home.

Q: How do you charge for your fees – hourly, by the project or otherwise?

A: It depends on the type of session. If you’d like more information about the sessions and rates I offer, send me an email and I will gladly send you the information.

Q: Do the packages include the price of organizational supplies?

A: My services do not include all the organizational materials you may want or need. Your space may be organized with items that you already own or you may shop for the items yourself. I do provide shopping as a service in case that is something that you are interested in (additional fee applies). I will always take your budget and goals into consideration.

Q: Is a deposit required to book a session?

A: No. During our free 15-minute discovery call, I will send you an invoice for full amount of the package you have chosen. Full payment is required upon booking. Payment is accepted via e-transfer or credit card. You will be provided with an invoice and receipt.

Q: Is there a travel fee for in-home sessions?

A: Travel is included at no additional cost up to a 60 minute round trip. Additional travel time beyond the Greater Moncton area begins at $50 per session.

Q: How many hours will an in-home session take? / How long will it take to get organized?

A: Probably less time than you would have imagined! Each space is different and the rate of organization often depends on how quickly a person can make decisions. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make sure that each session is productive. I keep my clients on task, but I never rush a person or pressure them into getting rid of anything. If you need a short break, there’s always something I can do independently to keep the project moving forward. I guarantee that in 3 hours you will see a major and tangible improvement!

Q: Do you do the work, or do I? Do I need to be present during the in-home session?

A: You can be as involved as you wish.

We can (1) go through the entire session together, (2) we can go through the decluttering process together and then you can go about your things while I take care of the organization, or (3) I can go through the whole session by myself.

It all depends on your personality as well as the space we will be tackling.

Q: Can I (and my kids) be home during our session?

A: It is entirely up to you to decide.

While I love children, I’ve found that it can be difficult to sort and organize when young kids are present. Your first and foremost obligation is to your children and for that reason, it may be difficult for you to concentrate on the organizational task at hand.

Because you are paying by the hour, you may want to arrange for a sitter to get the most “bang for your buck” while we work. Older children, however, may be present and can even be an asset to the project, particularly if we’re working on their room or they play area.

Q: Should I clean up before you come?

A: You don’t have to. It’s best if I can see the space how it typically looks and functions with you in it. I promise there is nothing to be embarrassed about, because when I come into your space, I’m looking for solutions. You can ask my past clients, I don’t judge.

Q: Are there things I need or can do to prepare me before our in-home session?

A: Yes, there are.

You can take everything out prior to my arrival. This will save us time in the long run and give us more time to go through it all.

If you are comfortable, you can do the decluttering by yourself before my arrival as well. However, if you are not comfortable , that’s fine. We will go through it together during our sessions.

Q: I’m afraid of what we might find. Is our work together confidential?

A: Yes, our work together is confidential. I will not disclose of your name or any other personnel information from our session unless told otherwise.

Q: Do you take photographs of my property?

A: I usually do to have images of the before and after of the process. If you would rather only keep these pictures for yourself and not have me share them on social media, that is not a problem. You do also have the option of me sharing the pictures and keeping your identity anonymous.

Q: Do I have to throw my things away?

A: Not if you don’t want to. I will question you on what you have and why you are keeping it. I don’t do this to judge or put you on the spot. I will do this because I want to better understand you and how you function and what is important to you to be equipped as best as I can to create an organizational system that works for you.

Q: Are you the type of professional organizer who organizes what I have, rather than first discard and organize what’s left?

A: I want to help people organize what they have and only have what they truly need. Sometimes, though, people need some guidance or tough love. And, an organizer that doesn’t encourage you to think about why you are storing/keeping things isn’t doing you a service.

Q: Are you up set-up to go into people’s homes considering the Covid-19 virus?

A: Yes, I am.

The day before our session, I will send you a quick questionnaire about Covid-19 related symptoms. Once I have reviewed your responses, I will be able to establish if we can proceed with our session or not.

I also always carry masks, gloves and hand sanitizer with me when I have in-home sessions.

Q: Can I offer your organizational services as a gift?

A: Yes.

Q: I’m ready! What do I do now? What’s the process to get started?

A: You start by booking a free 15-minute discovery call with me so that we can chat about your needs and the spaces you want to tackle. That way I have an idea of what you want and you can get a feel if I’m the organizer for you.
