F.A.Q.
(Frequently Asked Questions)

Why do people hire a professional organizer?

Our lives become overwhelming and we need help getting back on track. A professional organizer gets your home, move and/or life in shape much like a fitness trainer gets your body in shape. No pain, no gain? Sometimes that’s true.   

​

​

When do people call an organizer?

Many clients call when they are ready for change. Downsizing, moving, going through a divorce, facing a career change, suffering from empty-nest syndrome,  death or a new baby on the way can be some catalysts for a call. Mainly when life is overwhelming, too much to handle alone or simply ready to livelifeEASY the phone rings. Whatever the reason for the call, I am here to help. Change can often be easier than we think. I even make it fun.

​

​

How long does it take?

My process with each client is designed to fit their needs. Together we work at a pace and schedule that is set by the client. Everything depends on what they want to accomplish and how quickly they are ready to accept change. I do encourage and sometimes push but no more than I know the client is prepared to handle.

How did I (Betsi) get involved in professional organizing?

It found me. The short story is that after travelling extensively and then working abroad for a year I returned home to Canada. I found the material things from my childhood no longer reflected who I had become. I grew up while I was away and I needed to reinvent myself, my life and particularly my space.

Once my space was cleared of my old stuff, I began helping friends and family clear out their spaces. Before long I was getting calls from strangers asking how much I charged. Hence a business was born.

 

​

How to know which organizer to pick?

First choice is word of mouth. Find an organizer and give them a call. Prepare some questions to ask. You will know within five minutes if you will work well together. I pass clients on to another organizer when I feel they are better suited to each other. My goal is for you to succeed: with me or with someone else.

​

Who is 'we'?

I say 'WE' alot! I have an amazing crew of people who help me out in various ways. I am only capable of doing what I do through the love and support of others. I live by the mantra "The bigger my village, the better my day"! Truly I do nothing alone.
