Ditch the Clutter

It might sound dramatic to say working with Cori at Ditch the Clutter was life changing, but it was! I'm a very organized person by nature, but it was SO nice to have someone there to help me sort through everything and give me ideas I may not have come up with (not to mention someone to haul everything away at the end). Cori was so upbeat and nonjudgmental, the process really felt like a breeze even though over two sessions we wound up getting rid of over two cars-full of stuff! I really cannot recommend Cori enough. She came up with a way to display my mugs using a lazy Susan I had planned to get rid of that I still admire daily. If you think it would be useful to have someone help you de clutter, go with Cori and Ditch the Clutter - you won't regret it!

Bottom line: Cori is OUTSTANDING. Hire her today! The Details: I interviewed and even had a couple of other organizers come out to help me get some control of the chaos reigning though my house, but didn't really have success or make a good connection with any of them. Cori and I traded texts and messages for close to a year before we finally connected via a phone call. From that first call, I have been struck by how professional, non-judgmental and kind she is. I have genuinely enjoyed all of the time I've spent with her (and it's been a LOT), and that's saying a lot considering how much cleaning, organizing and de-junking we've done! She's recommended specific furniture or items that would help but also works with whatever you already have on hand. I've had to reschedule a couple of times, and she's been incredibly flexible (especially as I've been able to give her plenty of notice!). The Projects: So far, she's totally revamped my master bedroom, walk-in closet and bath; sorted through and organized HUNDREDS if not thousands of kids clothing and items, bagged up the ones I've given to friends and family and donated the items I don't have a need for; transformed my kitchen and cabinets into a clutter-free - dare I say calming? - place to cook and prep food; re-energized and organized the kids chaotic playroom into a functional and easy-to-keep-clean space; completely re-shaped and re-purposed closets, cabinets and pantries into more efficient uses; revitalized our dumpy and chaotic garage into a great place for seasonal storage; and - the big one - has MAGICALLY transformed my "secret shame" (the unfinished portion of my basement, aka the place to stack, push back, and totally forget about all the crap we own!) into a totally USABLE storage space. The Recommendation: I'm astonished by the peace of mind she's restored for me just since I have so much more control over the space I live in. Her motto - love your space - has never worked for me, at least until after her work was complete. I cannot recommend her more highly or enthusiastically. THANK YOU, Cori!

It was very positive and she was so understanding. I fully recommend Cori.

She followed through with EVERYTHING she said would and then some! I just wished I had found her YEARS ago!

Cori has been awesome! I feel liberated, emotionally lighter and frankly, productive, with every session! She's taught me new tricks - even for organizing my work, introduced me to new products and has taken care of related errands (like dropping things off to Goodwill, cleaners or repair shops). She is a simply a joy to work with!

Cory was amazing! She helped me organize teaching supplies. She suggested categories, labeled everything (love that yellow post-it tape) and remember where everything went when we found something that went into a category we thought we were done with. My favorite part is that she took all of my donations then mailed me a receipt.

My life has been so organized since I had this done about couple months ago. Everyday life is much smoother. She is sweet and genuine. Works for you as an individual and not just a project.
