“I repeatedly delayed the overwhelming task of clearing out possessions gathered during several decades of living in the same house. Two bedroom closets were completely filled with clothing and accumulated belongings. I dreaded opening them. Tanya calmly and cheerfully helped me clean them out and turned an experience I had feared into one that was positive and uplifting. She kept everything moving, keeping in mind the overall picture and the end result. I had no idea how much better I would feel after the closets were clean and organized, even now with some empty space in them. Now I’m planning when Tanya can come again and what we’ll tackle next. She has a magic touch.”

“Just wanted to say THANKS again for helping us with our basement…it is now functional, attractive and a place where I can begin to update my home business! Your assistance in helping us clear out our junk, organize and prioritize what we kept, and leaving me with a “manageable” task really made the process go easily and surprisingly quickly. It actually looks like a room! You are AMAZING!”

“Our teen’s messy room was a scary place; her dad and I rarely ventured beyond the doorway. I won’t go into the gory details, but not only was the chaos a problem, but missing items were becoming an even bigger problem. One day, I remembered reading an article by a mom who had hired a professional organizer for her sixteen year old son. I thought: Why not? We couldn’t be happier with the results. Our daughter’s room is tidy and well-organized and has stayed that way. Best of all, Tanya was respectful, nonjudgmental, and helped our teen design an organizational system that would work for her. The end result was a tremendous sense of pride and a slate of new skills we know will help our teen in the future. It was one of the best investments we’ve ever made for our daughter and we recommend Tanya (we call her the “Organizing Fairy”) highly!”

“I wanted to tell you how much your professionalism and unflagging cheerfulness have helped me throughout this long process of moving from one life into the next. You have been what my husband calls a “non-anxious presence” as well as superb in handling whatever I needed. Thank you so very much.”

“She helped organize my office, paying close attention to my unique needs. Now each thing has a place and most important, I know where that place is. My writing time is no longer part-time paper searching and shuffling. Also, because she involved me in the effort, I now have the skills to maintain the organization. If only we’d worked together years ago! Who knows how many more books I could have published.”

“By nature, I am not an organized person when it comes to paperwork. Also, I’m a huge pack-rat who finds it impossible to throw anything away, and can never figure out how to store or file the “stuff” in a comprehensive & user-friendly way. Tanya has been a DREAM for me in this regard!! Not only is she highly efficient on all matters of organization, but also seems to know everything about everything: answering questions about my insurance, car lease, travel plans, taxes, where to donate used computers/cell phones/etc to this women’s shelter, that Good Will…quite frankly, if it weren’t for Tanya, I’d still be sitting in my office amidst stacks & piles of bills, catalogues, letters, books and post-its! I can not recommend her services highly enough!!!”

“Tanya is truly an organizing wonder. She works with me to sort my seemingly unsortable papers, handle my mail, and bring order to my life. I am an organizer of social movements, for civil rights and the environment. I am very busy organizing my own organization, raising money, working with a staff. I operate out of my office, where I have a lot of help, and out of my home office, where I fight disarray and disorientation from the encroaching “where the hell is that thing?” I am also working on a new book, so the disorder at times becomes debilitating. My home office is now well organized, but only because Tanya comes often and does a great job. Tanya is great to work with, cheery, in the sense of someone who loves her work, and very brilliant at what she does. It is great to have someone organize me for a change.”
