Services + Pricing

I work on a sliding scale of $50–$100 per hour.

This means we choose a rate together that reflects your needs, the scope of the work, and my capacity. No forms. No proof. Just a conversation rooted in trust and transparency.

If you’re not sure where you fall, we’ll figure it out together…

Cash or Venmo Only

I offer identity-affirming organizing, spatial support, and practical design help for real lives, real messes, and real transitions, including:

• Decluttering and thoughtful editing

• Room resets, re-layouts, and flow changes

• Garage organization and storage systems that actually get used

• Furniture curation: deciding what stays, what goes, what gets re-homed, and what’s worth adding

• Styling and placement using what you already own (plus sourcing if needed)

• Moving prep, packing, unpacking, and re-settling

• Storage units, overflow spaces, and “I’ll deal with it later” zones

• Closet and wardrobe resets

• Paper piles, books, archives, and memory-heavy items

• Soft design support: color, texture, vibe, function, and comfort

• Executive-dysfunction–friendly organizing

• Body doubling for hard-to-start or overwhelming tasks

• Accountability sessions to help you keep momentum between visits

• Crisis, time-sensitive, or high-stress situations

• Transition moments: breakups, grief, burnout, illness, identity shifts, or housing changes

You don’t need to have the right words.
You don’t need to be “ready.”
Messy explanations are welcome.

I don’t just show up and organize. I bring structure, follow-through, and care that continues before, during, and after our time together.

When we work together, you can expect:

• Before-and-after photo documentation of your space (with your consent), so progress is visible, affirming, and easy to remember later

• Session recap & encouragement summaries after our work together, naming what we accomplished and honoring progress, including the invisible labor

• A shared living transparency document that can include:

  • Notes from our conversations

  • Working hours and session logs

  • To-do lists and next steps

  • Research, links, and resources

  • Plans and timelines we’re building together

• Flexible invoicing, including:

  • Session-based invoices

  • Weekly invoices for ongoing or intensive projects

• Thoughtful follow-up emails with updates, clarity, and genuine encouragement

• Text message check-ins when helpful, including:

  • Friendly reminders around personal deadlines

  • Gentle nudges to support momentum between sessions

• Research into ethical donation centers, mutual aid options, and responsible re-homing for items leaving your space

• Clear communication, realistic planning, and no shame when plans shift

This work is collaborative, transparent, and paced to support real life. You’re not expected to remember everything, track everything, or carry the process alone.

Your hourly rate may shift within the $50–$100 range based on a combination of the following:

Accessibility & Labor

• Multiple flights of stairs

• Heavy lifting or physically demanding work

• Large or complex spaces

• Pets in the home

• Sensory or access needs (which I’m happy to accommodate)

Logistics

• Travel time

• Parking, tolls, or transit costs

• Haul-away coordination or donation runs

Urgency & Pace

• Tight timelines

• Eviction notices or housing transitions

• Crisis cleanups or fast turnarounds

• High-intensity or emotionally heavy sessions

Care & Community

• LGBTQ+ and queer community care

• Financial strain or income instability

• Mutual aid–aligned work

• Long-term or repeat clients

None of these are judgments. They’re just realities of labor and care.

This work is personal, practical, and often vulnerable. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing, and I don’t believe you need to justify your circumstances to deserve support.

If cost feels scary, say so. If time feels urgent, say so. We’ll build a plan that feels doable.

You don’t need a plan before you reach out. That’s part of the work.

Sessions are collaborative, paced, and responsive to your capacity.
We may talk, move, pause, reorganize, or problem-solve. Breaks are welcome. Plans can shift.

Some sessions are hands-on. Some are strategic. Many are both.

Optional note:
If you’re comfortable with it, some clients choose to have me work in their space while they’re at work, on vacation, or away for the day. This can allow me to settle into a focused flow and move efficiently through larger tasks.

This is never required. It’s simply an option that works well for some projects and schedules.

Photos, notes, and documentation are never shared without explicit consent.
Your space, your story, and your data are treated with care.
