mind your matter organizing

hello
I'm Barb... and I help people carry less
Why do I love this work?
My passion is helping people release that which is no longer serving them or their lives in this moment.
​
If we're going to get real 'woo' about it, everything is simply energy. Things move into our lives to serve a purpose, and their energy gets stagnant when they aren't used or when they are stored away for the bulk of their existence. This stagnancy can have real impacts on our lives - literally weighing us down - and the ties we have to those energies can be difficult to cut on our own. It helps to have an external support and catalyst through the process; it's my job to put myself out of business: I want to work with you to create a life where you have the awareness and tools that you no longer require my services.
​
Some folks hear 'organizing' and want to run away screaming: not me. It's like piecing together a very gratifying life-sized puzzle, PLUS it helps people! What could be better than creating a little order (not to mention breathing space) out of chaos? I'm guided by principles of Feng Shui & space clearing protocols to create healthy spaces where you can thrive, both on a material and energetic level.
What do I have to offer?
-
A kind heart & a strong back
-
Relentless optimism balanced by real-world lived experience. I'm not going to suggest you do something that I wouldn't (or haven't) personally tried. Less Pollyanna, more punk cheerleader
-
The ability to see multiple sides
-
Zero judgment and loads of heart
-
Neutral & tough to faze
-
A sense of calm within the chaos
-
A talent for asking the hard questions in a gentle way
-
The ability to get to the heart of what is under the surface, subconscious driving actions
​
What makes me different?
I believe in authentic, honest communication, and meeting people where they are in any process. It's an honor to be trusted in your space and with your possessions, and I appreciate your willingness to share vulnerable parts of your life with me. People sometimes hesitate to ask for help in tackling the 'stuff' of their lives for fear of how others might react but rest assured that respect, client confidentiality, and zero judgment are non-negotiable values for me.
​
I hold space for all the pain, grief, anger, and joy that these processes can bring up. Often our emotions drive our needs, our behaviors, and our relationship to objects, and sometimes an outside perspective can be - literally - enlightening. I am caring and nonjudgmental, a great listener and a hard worker. I'll take the time to hear your needs and then I'll roll up my sleeves and dive in, either on my own or as your teammate & cheerleader. Purging can be both a physically and emotionally cathartic process, but you don't have to go through it on your own. We are all human: trying, learning. I'd love to join you in your own journey of exploration & growth!
​
How do I spend my time when I'm not laboring? Poring over maps & planning new adventures, unintentionally irritating my teenager, providing a perch (see also: sturdy shoulders) for one of my cats, making art, looking up at the stars, reading books, reminding myself that I don't need that pretty rock, and working on one of... many... ongoing projects. ​




hello
enough about me: let's talk about you!
Is the life you are leading in alignment with where you want it to be?
​​
​Are you feeling overwhelmed, stifled, barely keeping up?
​​
Do you feel fulfilled?
​
What are your priorities - right now, in this moment of your life?
​
What are your organizational success stories?
Why are you reaching out for support?
​
We all have the capacity to do the work of sifting through our lives, but sometimes we just don't have the time, energy, desire, or the tools. If you find yourself at a stuck point, or simply in need of support - reach out. I can help.
