Welcome to the No Judgement Zone

Welcome to the No Judgement Zone

 

I can’t remember the last time I worked with a client that didn’t start with an apology about their home “being a mess” or I wasn’t in some way asked if their home was “the worst I’ve seen.”

 

I started this company because I know how hard it can be to keep a home looking “perfect” while also trying to live in it. A messy home doesn’t mean that you are lazy or don’t have your shit together, it usually means that you don’t have the TOOLS to keep it free of mess, clutter, or whatever else it may be.  The good news is that I chose to start a company solely focused on giving clients these tools.

 

I always try to respond to clients with honesty and honestly I DON’T JUDGE people based on their homes. When I started this business, I vowed to myself that I wouldn’t judge and I hold myself to that vow.  I am always honored when I am invited into someone’s most valuable space, their home, and then trusted to make it better.  When I walk into a client’s home, I immediately start thinking, “how do we make this work better for the people living here?”

 

If I judged people based on their home organization I would miss out on all the beautiful things that make their lives unique!

 

Instead of judging people based on their home organization, I focus on getting to know my clients and understanding all the amazing things their home holds - those cluttered countertops, messy playrooms and front hallways that look like a bomb went off all have stories behind them.  I try to learn where clients homes are today and work to make the changes to support it working and feeling better tomorrow. 

 

When you take the time to get to know your clients, you understand just how big their lives are and why it’s often so hard to contain that in a neat way within in a home.

 

Once you know your clients and can appreciate their specific challenges, needs and goals, the fun part starts. Then my team and I get to start helping create systems to not only contain those big lives but to support them in a way that’s meaningful and - maybe most importantly - in a way that is easily maintained for all the family members long after we leave and those lives continue to expand.
