“Some of the things that made it hard for me to start or to finish once we started, Vivian either handled for me or guided me through. And it's that hand-holding. And she comes in and is like, one, two, three, and all of a sudden I’m like, Yeah, we CAN do this.”
"Vivian made me feel like I could do this and there's a process and there's a plan and there are steps that are going to be taken to get to the end.

OK, maybe you're not moving, but your home has started to feel ... crowded.
Or it's taking you way too long to find things.
Or you're constantly fighting with your vacuum cleaner, the Christmas decorations, and 42 rolls of toilet paper just to get your suitcase out of the closet so you can go on vacation.
Let's work together to create calm.
You've got a lifetime of belongings (and memories) that you need to sort through and make some really hard decisions about.
Let me support you.
You're moving and you know you've got things that you don't want to move from your old place to your new home.
You're just not exactly sure what those things are or how to decide what to take with you and what to let go of.
Let me help you decide.
When you can’t take it all (or keep it all) with you,
let me help you figure out what’s important.
And what to do with everything else.
You can expect:
- Personalized Process: I am not one of those organizers who is going to tell you to get rid of everything. You have to actually live in your home and I want you to absolutely love living there. So, it's your vision and your goals that guide the process.
- Customized Plan: We’ll work together to develop a clear plan to review and edit your household and determine which belongings you want to keep, donate, sell, or discard before your move.
- Expert-Led Virtual Sessions: Through secure video calls, I'll walk you through the process of sorting and organizing, offering practical advice and emotional support while helping you decide what's going with you to your new space, what's not.
- Resource Coordination: I’ll do the research and provide recommendations for donation centers in your area, online selling platforms, and eco-friendly disposal options to streamline the process. Because if you're not taking things with you, they need to go somewhere. I'll make it easier for you to know where to drop off the things that aren't going into your new home.
A move isn’t just a logistical event. It’s a chance to create space in your home for the things that matter most to you.
My Pre-Move Downsizing Services are designed to help you declutter your belongings so that you're letting go of things that you won't need, use, love, or want in your new home and bringing the things from your current home that both remind you of the life you’ve built and inspire you for the next chapter.

I cannot say enough good things about Vivian and her move/downsizing services. Several years ago, Vivian assisted me with my move from New York to Chicago, making it the easiest and most organized move I have ever experienced.
So, when it came time for my mom to transition from her home to a much smaller space, I knew Vivian was the perfect person to help us navigate the downsizing process.
At first, my mom and I were at odds – I was in "you can't take anything with you" mode, while my mom was determined to take everything with her. The tension was palpable, and we were not having fun at all.
Then, Vivian stepped in and immediately brought the stress level down. Her expertise in helping us figure out where to start and how to approach decisions about my mom’s belongings was truly impressive.
Vivian understands that the downsizing process feels different for everyone involved and she skillfully manages everyone's expectations regarding what to donate, what might be sold, and what to pack based on the available space in the new home. She is patient, gracious, and keeps the whole process moving smoothly.
What I thought would be a difficult experience turned into a process that honored my mom's memories while preparing us both for the next stages of our lives. Vivian's ability to turn a challenging situation into a manageable and even enjoyable one is remarkable.
If you are in need of move or downsizing services, I cannot recommend Vivian enough.
Her professionalism, understanding, and skill will make your experience as seamless and stress-free as possible.

You can expect our virtual sessions to be:
- Thoughtful. Moving to a smaller space means making tough decisions about what to keep and what to let go of. I'll help you sort through your belongings with care and patience so that you can identify the things that truly support your next chapter and preserve your memories.
- Strategic. When you've got limited space, you've got to make the most of it. I'll help you plan how your belongings will fit into your new home and offer advice for creating a space that is comfortable and functional and feels like your home.
Moving out of a home that you've lived in for years and years and years? It's emotionally exhausting.
If you're leaving your family home and starting a new life in a smaller space, my Senior Move Downsizing Services are designed to help you balance the holding on and the letting go while imagining how to make the most of the space you have in your new home and fill it with things that remind you of the life you've built and support the new life you're creating.

Whether you want to get your whole home decluttered and organized or you've just got one space that is stressing you out, I can coach you through the decluttering and organizing process (and we can do this over a video call--you don't need an organizer to be physically present in your home).
I'll make sure you have the guidance, inspiration, and practical knowledge you need to complete the tasks and create a home you actually enjoy living in (and are super proud of).
* You'll get a project plan, customized to your space with specific, do-able tasks for you to complete to accomplish your goal.
* We'll video chat over the plan and the specific tasks to be completed. I’ll answer any questions or concerns and make sure you are ready to go.
* I’ll stay on the call with you and we’ll declutter together. Or you’ll work on your own.
* Plus you'll have email and WhatsApp access to me so if you get stuck you can get unstuck and if you have questions you can get answers and if you forget how to fold t-shirts I'll remind you.
I'll get back to you within 24 hours. Probably less.
If you don't see me in your inbox, please check your spam folder.
Just in case the masters of the email universe do something silly like try to keep us from being friends.
A weekly conversation about all the stuff we bring into our homes (and our lives).
Why it brings us joy. And what to do if it doesn’t.
Let’s talk about the things that make our lives better and how to deal with anything that’s keeping us from experiencing the pleasure of just being at home.
Because don’t we all want more style, ease, and FUN in the part of our life that isn’t taking place at work?
Yeah. I think we do.
