Monica and her assistant Bridget surpassed all expectations. Monica quickly identified key problem areas and triaged our home organization to create systems that are not only highly efficient and logical but also aligned perfectly with our ideas and wishes. She has an uncanny ability to anticipate what people want--even when they can't articulate it--and always finds creative, customized solutions. Her customer service is next-level. She also gave us on-the-spot lessons in design theory, which I genuinely appreciated and can now apply moving forward. As we cleared out what had to be 20+ bags of clutter, she offered to take care of both trash and donations, and had a hauling service at our house within the hour. I literally told her, "You're making all my problems go away." If you're looking for someone who combines logistics, empathy, design, and wizard-level efficiency--Monica's your person. read more

Monica did a tremendous job helping set up our new home and so many of solutions she implemented were things we wouldn't have considered and yet are patterns we'd want to maintain for a long time. Her labeling, containerization and organization scheme have served us very well. She was also very efficient with three sessions we felt fully moved into our new home within a few days. read more

Monica is an angel. She helped declutter and organize different parts of our home with calm, kindness, empathy, and lack of judgment. She is discreet and doesn't ask nosy questions. She's got a nice "chill" energy and is a great listener. Monica is also part therapist, helping me to let go of things I didn't need or want but kept out of a sense of obligation to the gift givers. She didn't reveal any hint of annoyance if we had trouble making a decision on whether to keep, store, donate, or trash things. She helped develop realistic systems that we will be able to maintain well enough to key the house in order. We will likely hire her for a couple of other areas in the house. Monica's services are an investment, but they are worth it if you can afford it! read more

Our house was a serious mess for years--until Monica. It was very difficult for some members of our family to accept change but Monica was extremely patient and understanding with them. She is prompt, communicative, friendly, and very professional. Not only did Monica help get rid of years of clutter, but she also had very good ideas for how to re-organize our furniture to maximize our space. Moreover, Monica wanted to assure that my children would take away lessons for how to keep the house clean and organized. I was extremely impressed and very grateful for her help. I would highly recommend Monica to anyone, no matter how difficult the situation might be. read more

Monica supported both of my clients in organizing their homes. She came in ready to work, walked them through each room, and identified needs specific to each home. She worked quickly and efficiently in organizing both homes, and also created systems of organization that would maintain organization in those spaces. She knew of specific products that would work well in each space (baskets, containers, drawer dividers, etc), and even sent links for other items such as toddler beds and rugs. Monica also was helpful in hauling away donation items, and also had a team that could support with assembling new furniture and mounting things. I highly recommend Monica for household organization, especially for families with kids! read more

This is an overdue review but no less enthusiastic!! Monica did a walk through prior to assess and estimate the work. She was warm, kind and non-judgmental. I was struggling to organize and declutter after the loss of my husband and a remodel. It was a compounded situation! For our session, she and a helper came to organize and declutter. It was a huge help and made such a difference. Monica and her team were efficient, warm and so lovely to work with! Monica also found homes for my belongings with a great eye for design and decor. I can't recommend Monica and her team highly enough!! I didn't finish everything and would absolutely work with her again. Thank you again, Monica!! read more

This is my third time hiring Monica! This time it was to organize my newly remodeled kitchen. Monica is smart, thinks for you and has amazing taste in decorating and organizing. She is also a very good listener and gets things done! My kitchen is so well planned out, thanks to Monica and her team that it makes it so easy to cook in. And, she finds things that you did not know you needed! For example, a drying stone for a few dishes, a lamp on the side for soft light, attractive storage boxes for my master closet. She uses the items that YOU ALREADY HAVE and places them in a creative and beautiful way. Believe me, the next time I need help organizing/ decorating I'll call Monica. read more

I cannot recommend Monica and her team enough! My family have worked with her on a number of projects. She helped us move things back into our home after a major renovation. What took two days of unpacking and organizing would have taken us months to do without their skills and effort. We also had her team help consolidate family stuff from two storage lockers down to one. What's also great is they helped find places for the things we decided to donate. Their approach is collaborative and can-do. Just a great experience and lovely people. read more

My mom has been trying to organize the house for years, but has always gotten overwhelmed every time she starts. We reached out to Monica for help because a cluttered home is so hard to come home to, and I am so thankful we did! She started with her closet & transformed it completely in a day. So many clothes have been lost in there due to the sheer volume of it, and it was hard for her to get outfits together because it would involve digging for clothes. It was nice to see the closet with organized sections, and it makes it so much easier to get up in the morning and assemble an outfit. After she did such a good job with the closet, we asked Monica to come back to do the kitchen (which has not been organized since we moved into the house about 8 years ago). She helped my mom shop for organizing containers & spent 2 days consolidating everything - the kitchen looks picture perfect now! Monica's also been a big help in giving advice to keep the kitchen looking this way (I think this was really important because houses are easy to clean but harder to maintain). The house looks perfect for our redecorating now, & I'm so grateful! read more

If you're hesitating on whether or not to book a personal organizer, let this be your sign to just do it! Monica is a genius. The value you get from having her in your home is incredible because she can consult on the function of the space, the design, and your general lifestyle. Monica helped us in a time of transition with young children and an au pair moving in. She sought to understand our family's routine first, then made recommendations tailored to our needs. I could live in my house for 50 years and still not think of some of the creative solutions Monica came up with over the span of a few days. I especially loved how she repurposed our existing furniture and created functional spaces in each room. Thanks to her, we are eating dinner together as a family at the table more due to an improved position of our dining room table. Our kids have a designated playroom area, so there's a distinction between child and adult space. She also separated my husband and I into separate office spaces, which has been life changing as someone who works from home. Monica does it all with kindness and great efficiency. I can't wait to work with her again! read more

After 3+ months of avoiding unpacking my walk-in closet, I hired Monica based on her Yelp reviews--and it was the best decision. In just 3 days, she thoughtfully organized everything for both space and function, even rearranging my furniture for a better layout. We cleared out 30+ bags of trash and donations! She's coming back next month to tackle the kitchen. Highly recommend for anything from a refresh to a full overhaul! read more

Monica exceeded all expectations. We had moved in and basically just unpacked and threw things wherever there was space without any real thought. After living like this for a few years, we thought it was finally time to get some professional help to organize the space and amount of stress relief it's brought us is invaluable Highly HIGHLY recommended to go with Monica if you're in the Bay Area. She rises up to any challenge with a positive spirit and highly communicative. Total seasoned pro, thank you Monica! read more

Genius. Life changing. Those are the first two things that come to mind when I think of Monica and my experience with her in my home. It was post pandemic insanity, post second child, post 40th birthday...and I realized my house was getting smaller and smaller (it's already quite small). I didn't have it in me to tackle it on my own. I needed someone to help me see the forest... Cue Monica. The second she came in my home she had a vision to simplify and create space. And that is what she did. It was a very organic process over three days...we tackled room by room...pain point by pain point. Each day we literally filled her car with clothes etc to donate. Big time purge, which felt incredible. And she made me feel confident and not guilty about letting things go. Even after three long days there are a few more areas to tackle, so we will work together again to Monica-fy the rest of the house. Hooray. Every time I walk in my house now I am happy, and I am grateful to Monica for her hard work and magic. Seriously life changing and truly the best gift I could ever give myself. read more

Monica and her helpers were the BEST decision I made while moving. Would absolutely not do it again without using their services if i was in the Bay area! What a difference it made to see them organize the mess, remove things, and make it feel clutter free! the kitchen, closets, kids rooms.. all feel amazing. We really are grateful for the help and really feel like we can experience joy in our house again instead of feeling bogged down! Highly recommend her! read more

Monica came to our house and immediately started finding ways to optimize our space and systems. She moved furniture around, helped us purge a lot of possessions that we didn't need/weren't using, and made each room just "feel" better. All of her suggestions have worked out great so far and she left me with "homework" to do to continue making improvements in my spaces. Walking through our front door just feels so different now; the energy in our living room and entry area is much lighter and brighter. She helped us realize what wasn't working for us and gently guided us to better ways of using our current spaces. It was really nice to have a neutral and non-judgmental person come through our house and help us use it in a much more functional way. I wish I had hired Monica when we first moved in years ago to set these systems in place years ago! read more

Monica is absolutely incredible. I can't recommend her highly enough. I have used her on multiple occasions including reorganizing my house, preparing and executing a move, and a intense garage clean out. She is thoughtful, incredibly efficient, and has good ideas about everything from design, to placement, to systems of organization moving forward. I would hire her again in an instant. Definitely money well spent!! read more

Monica and her team is top notch. Not only did they organize my space, but they even improved it by taking care of everyday workflow issues. Some examples: - they rearranged my husband's desk in the study, which gave us 2x bigger open space than before - they removed and re-installed the shelving unit in my laundry space to make room for my mop, broom and cleaning supplies. They noticed I had these items outside and asked if I wanted to move it inside. Monica is very thoughtful and asks questions about lifestyles/what's the day like/what's the night like and made suggestions best suited for my husband and me. I recommend Monica and her team, and guarantee she will bring peace to your space and headspace. read more

Monica and her team are truly a dream! She's come to save our household twice over the last year. First, we had a very overwhelming move from Toronto, Canada to the Bay Area. I was used to having a ton of storage room to much less without a basement. Monica helped us make the most of our space so we wouldn't need all of that additional square-footage. We were able to fit everything into our new home and still have plenty of room. They came again when our son was born and our au pair was about to move in. Very quickly we had two new bodies joining our family unit. Monica helped us create space for both the baby and au pair, and helped me navigate storage solutions for my personal postpartum needs as a new mom. read more

Monica and her fantastic team got us moved out of a rental, into a new house, and truly settled and over just four days. We've never felt so at ease in our own space before - the anxiety of wondering where things are is entirely gone. Such is her talent that even if she didn't show us specifically where she'd stowed an item, we find it with no effort; things are somehow just where they should be. Monica is a true professional. She is thoughtful and calm, she works seamlessly with her team, and her team members are also wonderful. I've moved locally and across the country more than once and this was the easiest move ever thanks to Ambry Organizing. Well worth the money. Thank you! read more

After the recent death of my mother, I was faced with a house that my family had lived in for 50 years. I looked at the task at hand and realized that it was overwhelming. Thankfully, Ambry Organizing was recommended to me. They fully understood my needs. In a prompt manner, they discarded everything that I wanted tossed. Then, they boxed everything that I wanted saved, took those items to a storage unit and gave me the key. Once the house was cleared out, they went through and did a great cleaning. What I thought was going to be a huge task for me that would go on for at least a couple of weeks ended up being a two day job for Ambry Organizing! Thank you! I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

Monica is fabulous at organizing and helping you look at things differently. She efficiently and effortlessly managed the organization of my garage and kitchen. The biggest challenge was how to organize all of my clothes, and the solution of turning my office into a walk-in closet was a perfect and practical solution, along with enough room to maintain my office space. If you need organizing help: I'd strongly encourage you to use Ambry Organizing. You won't regret it, I promise. read more

I cannot underscore how effective and impactful Monica was to work with. There were challenges from all directions: small children in our home while we worked, pandemic challenges that forced working together through video conference for the 90% of the colaboration, a very tight timeline and our family as clients with a developing but not yet fully fleshed out style or clear understanding of exactly what it was that we wanted. In the end Monica delivered far above and beyond expectations even with working together virtually. We could not be more pleased with the end results and the process. She was a creative powerhouse, exuding a flare for bringing a clean look together quickly and taking into account our styles / input.  She had so many ideas for how to organize and calm our living room to make it more welcoming from the overall layout, couch options, wall decorations and small accent pieces that were both functional and welcoming. I highly recomend working with Monica for both her skills to organize a space and decorate it to make it more pleasing and functional! read more

Monica is fantastic! I hired her to help me declutter and redesign my office. Not only was she knowledgeable and professional, but she was also fun and productive to work with. Her team helped me make 6 rooms beautiful in just 3 hours. I was also pleasantly surprised that by moving things around that I already, we could make a big difference in the quality of the space! read more

If you are a "hoarder"and need a no nonsense but sensitive person to help clear out your room, Monica is the person to do the job. I thought I would never see my dining room as a usable room again but Monica cleared it, my living rm and the back yard of junk in just 2 days! I can't tell how good it feels to have those parts of my house back and she was worth every penny. read more

Monica and Patrick were great! They did exactly what I needed to make things better around here. My clutter is in labeled boxes, and I am sorting through it at my own pace. Thanks, Ambry! read more

Wow wow wow! This team was so efficient in creating an organized and beautiful space with very little directing. I can't wait for them to come back! I felt so comfortable with ambry organizing I would trust them with any questions about design for my home. They also make you feel so comfortable and not judged :) Thank you so much read more

Monica is fantastic and I'm so grateful for her talent and expertise. Within the first hour of working in my home, she blew me away with her professionalism, systems, and progress. She transformed my office and closet and also really worked magic in the kid's room. Her expertise with kids and what they need in a physical space was the best thing that's happened to my house in a long time. If you're overwhelmed by stuff or just want someone to help you through piles don't hesitate to book her. I wish I could give her 6 stars! read more

We needed to move out of our home of 33 years as we were selling it. We contacted Monica of Ambry Organizers on a referral. We couldn't possibly be happier. They helped us with every aspect and had us out of the house in 2 days of them helping us. Honestly we don't know how we would have done it without them. And it's a pleasure to work with them read more

Monica and her team are absolutely amazing! I recently was in between a couple of big moves and she was able to come in and completely assist with unpacking, purging and reorganizing all of my items from clothing/closet space to kitchen items, toiletries, jewelry and furniture rearrangement. I am so thrilled with my space now as it is clean, organized and reimagined as I would not have been able to fathom it would ever look the way it does after her help!! read more

I can't express in words just how much Monica has streamlined and simplified my life. I felt like she understood who I was and how I live so easily, and was able to help me make some huge changes in my space that actually work for me. She re-imagined my space better than I could have ever hoped, and taught me simple ways to re-organize the things that I had. She allows me to process decluttering in my own way while also bringing in her efficiency and expertise. Seriously - she's super efficient, and our sessions just fly by. I still can't believe how much we get done! It's amazing. If you're on the fence - just do it. You won't regret it! read more

Monica, Patrick and the Ambry Organizing team are the most professional and amazing movers and organizers we have ever worked with. Scheduling a semi-last minute move from San Francisco to Palo Alto, with two small children, was daunting until we hired Monica. She came to meet us in our SF home and provided so much reassurance that everything would go smoothly - and it did! My husband is an OCD neat freak and I'm...not...so the process was a struggle for us and I am not exaggerating when I say Monica served as organizer, designer and marriage counselor. Now we are a month in, and while it is still a work in progress, Monica did a great job providing us with a system that we could maintain to keep both of us happy. Our pantry looks like a Kardashian's (yes, that's a really good thing). And to top it all off, Monica checks in on us weekly to keep us on track! Hire them - you will not regret it. The peace of mind (and marriage) are well worth it! read more

Patrick, Monica and team are fabulous. Nicer people you will not find! I hired them initially to help us clean out our garage in anticipation moving. I thought that after they cleaned out the garage, I would hire a "moving company" and they would purge and pack the house. Patrick and team swooped in and had that garage completely cleaned out, reorganized (and stuff hauled away) in less than three hours. So, we asked them to help us with the entire move. Over the course of the next 2 weeks, they came back 4 times to help us purge every room and pack our stuff. They were fast, efficient, flexible and totally accommodating. We could not have asked for better partners in helping us with the monumental task of moving out of our house. If you have any kind of organizing to do -- including moving out of your house -- this is the team to hire. Loved working with them! read more

Monica, Patrick, and the entire team are incredible! We recently remodeled our house and I wanted to take the opportunity to reevaluate what we have accumulated over the years. Monica came and helped us purge and move out (they throw items away for you and will donate as much as possible) and then she came back and moved us back in and reorganized the ENTIRE house. I was terrified to tackle our playroom and was so grateful that she took over and helped me turn it into a space that my kids LOVE to spend time in. It was the best gift I could have given our family. Our house is beautiful now and everything has its place. I truly feel at peace when I walk in the front door. Also, Monica and Patrick are just wonderful to spend time with- so kind and caring. I highly recommend! read more

If I could give 10/5 stars to Monica, I would. This means a lot coming from me as I am a total OCD organizer myself. We often refer to her as an "angel," and "transformational expert." To call Monica an "Organizer" is falling entirely short of all she does. She's an entire household manager, interior decorator, counselor and life optimizer. She leaves no stone unturned to make a home a well-oiled and delightfully live-able place. I hired Monica to help clean out my boyfriend's home and evolve it from a Bachelor Pad to a man's oasis. She used care and concern, thought through the delicacies of change and transformed the home into a place me and my boyfriend can now both enjoy. I still use Monica routinely as she comes over and "preps" the house for my visits as I live out of town -- bringing her own cleaners, contractors, etc., her network is vast and she manages projects soups to nuts. I'll be bringing Monica with me wherever I go to help me with my organizational and home optimization needs. Don't think twice... call her!!! You won't regret it. read more

I reached out to her 3 months ago and she said she would have availability in December 2nd week. I held off finding someone else and no response from her after waiting so long. Will be looking for someone else - would have done so sooner had I known! read more

Monica is amazing. I feel so grateful to have found here. After my initial phone consultation with her I knew she would be able to help myself and my family with our organizational needs. We hired Monica to help us organize our apartment before we moved from the Bay Area to LA. I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Monica arrived on time for our first session and we got right to work. She had wonderful ideas on how to best organize and get rid of/donate items that we no longer needed but that someone else might find useful. Monica was incredibly considerate throughout the whole process as going through your belongings can be very stressful and bring up a lot of emotions for some people. I never felt as though she was judging me for wanting to keep something or for wanting to give something away. If I needed help deciding what to do with an item she offered up wonderful insight to help me make a decision. Bottom line, I would hire Monica again and refer her to everyone I know that needs help with organization. She's not only excellent at what she does but she's a wonderful person and a joy to be around. Thanks again Monica! read more

Monica is very professional on organizing and very efficient while working on my case. Monica is helping me to organize my office. I wanna say it's a big change! The best part that I love is right now almost everything of my work could find a home in my office. The filing cabinet is amazingly organizing used for my family/business/tax paperwork! read more

Ambry Organizing - Home Organization Near Me

Ambry and Chelsea just organized my teenage daughter's room from top to bottom. It was years overdue and they did it with such structure and calmness and were amazing with my daughter, getting her input but not overwhelming her, all while also teaching her life skills and organization skills - thank you so much Ambry and Chelsea you were amazing! read more

Monica and her team have been guardian angels as I've reshuffled stuff, edited my life and downsized to a new home. She offers a vision for refreshing and editing one's "treasures" and then styles and presents them in thoughtful, beautiful ways. She hand-holds and counsels. She's trustworthy and very experienced. But most importantly, she is an expert at organization, grouping and working with your goals. She helped my parents move as well and lovingly helped them settle in an organized, freshly edited new home. They are thrilled. She has a team on call of plumbers, carpenters and movers that can transform your space as you wish. Monica is so talented, kind, thoughtful and hard working. She's a godsend!!!! read more

After we moved my elderly parents entire home of decades of accumulated things, to bring our family together to better deal with some health issues, we desperately needed help going through a mountain of boxes. Monica came to help us make sense of it all. She was so gentle and thoughtful about the meaningful family items, while also providing needed decisiveness and support with purging many unnecessary things. And she coordinated the removal of everything we decided we didn't need, so smoothly and effortlessly for us. Would hire her again in a heartbeat. read more
