An Organizer-Coach is someone who has organizing skills AND coaching skills and combines them to better serve their clients.  An organizer brings her expertise, energy and physical assistance to help the client AND a coach helps her clients identify their strenghts, become more aware of herself and help her identify and achieve her goals. Combining these two skills is very powerful.

The answer really depends on a few things:

• How much stuff you would like organized and to what detail.
  
• The systems we are putting in to place.
  
• Your ability to make decisions.
  
• How much time you are willing to put in to the project in between hands-on organizing sessions.

That being said, we will give you an estimate during the On-Site Assessment.  By the time we leave your home you will receive a breakdown of how long and how much it will cost to organize each space in your home.  There is a small charge to provide this On-Site Assessment.  Rest assure, we will work within your timeline and budget.
