“This work is about relationships. It’s so personal. Trust—and the absence of judgment—are essential.” — Laurie Lindemann
Philosophy
As a master-level certified KonMari consultant, Laurie incorporates the KonMari Method® into her organizing philosophy. Decluttering is the critical first step. Clients touch all of their physical possessions and move through the process by category (clothing, books, paper, miscellaneous and sentimental items) rather than location.
Once clients have made a choice about each and every item—keep, donate, or discard—the magic begins. When the decluttering is completed and clients are surrounded by only what they want and need, organizational systems are established, so every item has a place and purpose.
Process
The decluttering process begins with either a free phone or in-person consultation in your home or workplace. As you explain your decluttering and organizing goals, Laurie listens carefully and without judgment.
You’ll learn how to simplify, organize, and store the items you choose to keep, so that when you want them, you have them. If you need to purchase the perfect container, the Declutter Pronto® van is full of the best organizing tools and gadgets. In addition, Laurie will remove and distribute your donated items to a local charity and provide you with tax-deductible receipts.
Laurie will be, and remain, your teacher and partner every step of the way!
Fees
Every client and situation is unique. After the decluttering project is assessed, a custom-designed plan to meet your needs and budget is provided. Hourly fees start at $85/hr. and all such cost estimates will be provided in advance.
For projects outside of Rhode Island (the Declutter Pronto® home base), there is a mileage fee for travel and lodging when necessary. Payment is due at the end of each lesson by credit card, PayPal, Venmo, cash, or check.
Declutter Pronto® is always just an email away to offer guidance and answer questions. And, if over time you feel your space needs a tune-up, just reach out and we’ll make it happen.
