Since there are many cleaning and decluttering services out there, is important to me that we are the right fit when we work together! We will go over your needs and your goals on the consultation meeting, but this might help you get a better sense of what makes Soft Spaces a unique offering!
This might be for you if:​
-You’re navigating a transition, loss, or identity shift (retirement, divorce, an illness, a child, a move, a loss of a loved one) and not sure what to do with the belongings. ​​
​
-You are a parent overwhelmed with the STUFF OF KIDS! Or your own things in the midst of parenting.
​
-You have a craft room or hobby room and are overwhelmed with the thought of cleaning it out to make it more functional.
​
-You live alone and could use some external support in managing your stuff and spaces.
-You've been given the task of sorting through a loved one's items and are not sure where to start.
​
-You're ready to get rid of the clutter chaos in your home!
​
-You'd like to set up your home in a way that works WITH your brain, not against it!
​
-You're ready to become friends with your closet.
​
-You’re preparing for a transition or move.
​
-You’re wanting to thoughtfully pass items on with intention.
-You are interested in "Life Review Cleaning"--also known as "Death Cleaning"--the act of going through your items now, so your loved ones don't have to later!
​
-You'd like help finding creative ways to hold on to memories without having to hold on to a large amount of things.
​
-You feel overwhelmed and paralyzed by where to start.
​
-You want to find meaningful ways to connect your stories to your stuff before passing them along.
​
-You’ve done some personal work and are self-aware of your emotions in relation to your items.
​​
This might not be for you if:​
-Your home is overwhelmingly packed and contains hazardous materials that need to be cleaned out by more than a one person team. I am not a trained extreme cleaner.
-You are looking for just a cleaner or organizer to do it all for you, and are not interested in joining in on the process. (My work is collaborative!)
​
-Your home has an active pest or rodent infestation. (For health and safety reasons, I can't provide in-home services in spaces with active pest infestations. Once an infestation has been fully addressed, I’m happy to explore working together!)
-You are not ready or open to doing the emotional work of letting go of at least some of your items.
​
-Your space is impacted by hoarding that requires a level of support beyond what a solo provider can offer. If hoarding behaviors are part of your experience, I may recommend beginning with additional supports, such as therapeutic care, professional cleanup services, or coordinated team support.
​​
-There is significant conflict in your family around your belongings and you may need mediation before cleaning out.
-Your grief is still too fresh and you need more time before feeling ready to go through items.
-You need deeper support for trauma connected to your belongings (I am not a licensed therapist)​.
