Wow! Lisa is amazing and wonderful to work with. Our garage and very large basement were extremely overdue for a major purging. Lisa commanded the troops (my husband and I) and the three of us got more done than I had even hoped for by working efficiently together. She was excellent at helping us make decisions quickly and had great suggestions throughout the process. I can't recommend Lisa more highly! read more

I'm thrilled to be writing this review from my desk, a space I couldn't use for months before hiring Lisa due to clutter. If parts of your home feel overwhelming, you've been putting off organization projects, or your home isn't functioning efficiently, I can't recommend her enough! read more

I hired Lisa to help prepare our very small, cluttered, unorganized house for the arrival of a new baby because I didn't want to be inundated by baby items that added to the existing mess. Lisa stepped in and helped donate and get rid of a ton of excess, plus find the right ways to contain our space. She worked so quickly and with respect and care for my goals. I never once felt judged. In the spaces we've tackled together, I feel a sense of calm and control I've never had during the past 4+ years of living in our house. Most importantly, thanks to her, our house is finally starting to feel like a home. If you've been thinking about booking a home organizer, just do it and hire Lisa! read more

I run our business from home and my home office has been "organized chaos" for several years. I spend a LOT of time in there, and instead of coming to work in the morning and feeling invigorated, I walk in my office door and feel immediately defeated!! In desperation, I finally decided to search for a professional organizer. I was very nervous about the whole thing, but Lisa's reviews were stellar, so I decided to "pull the trigger." I'm sooooo glad I did!! Lisa worked quickly and helped me sort through the clutter!! It was AMAZING what we accomplished!! My office is now organized, all the backlog and clutter is gone, and I walk into the office in the mornings and feel peace, calm, and ready to start my day. She also suggested a different workflow system, which I figured wouldn't work because I'm such a creature of habit, but I decided to give myself to the process, so I tried it out. It has worked beautifully. I'm more productive and more relaxed at the same time!! It has been easy to maintain the new system! In addition, she provides valuable resources and suggestions (links, websites, containers, etc) specific to my situation to help me with additional improvements. She is definitely someone I highly recommend if you are needing help. The peace on the other side is invaluable!! read more

Lisa is amazing. She is respectful of your space and items and is a wealth of knowledge! She has helped me to transform my disheveled domicile into a serene safehaven. I can't recommend her enough. I was worried about being judged or that my space was too small for her experience.I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG. Lisa will not only help you to transform your space. She will transform your entire mindset about yourself, your space, and your belongings. read more

I loved working with Lisa! She helped me organize my kitchen/living room which was overcrowded with toys, art projects and general clutter. It was hard work and I was exhausted at the end of it, but the result is a peaceful space that the entire family is enjoying and is super easy to maintain. I have plans for her to come again in a few months to do the next area of the house. We'll go room by room until the entire house is more manageable. read more

Lisa is a big reason I love my new space. I'm recently divorced and I hired her to help me organize my open 630-sq. ft. one-bedroom. I thought I'd already gotten rid of everything I didn't need when I moved. It turned out I was still carrying a bunch of stuff I don't need or want. She helped me pare down and rethink the way I was using my storage. She helps get all those 'shoulds' out of the way. You know -- I should keep this thing I never use because... yeah I don't know either. She encouraged me to go with the feminine and lush I wanted. It was nice to have someone defend that part of myself to the more uptight part that worries too much about what other people think. If you're the kind of person whose space has a profound effect on your mood, she's your person. She tailors the experience for you. I think she might have a million great ideas -- none of which I would have thought of on my own. You can't go wrong with this one. read more

Lisa was absolutely incredible in helping us organize our master bedroom! We had accumulated more stuff than we knew what to do with and it became so overwhelming. Lisa came in and saved the day! She brought such a positive, calm, peaceful presence to our home and really helped us sort through what's important to us at our own pace. She is very resourceful and we can hardly wait to get her back out to help us with the rest of our home. We definitely recommend her for any and all organizational aspects of your house! read more

If I could give Lisa 100 stars, I would. She is simply the best. She helped transform our garage into a functional storage space & office. I was about to start a new job and was ending my maternity leave and didn't have any time or energy to work on our garage. I also didn't have the mental and physical space to take on a project like that. Lisa came in and got the job done in 6 hours! The price is right and the service is excellent. I'm so grateful for her help. It gave me such ease of mind and relief. I love our new space. THANK YOU LISA!!!! read more

Lisa is amazing! Despite having some glaring organizational challenges, she was very complementary and positive about some of my strengths and unique way of thinking. This made me excited to build on what I am already doing as opposed to feeling defective in some way. I was surprised at the strength of my emotional reaction leading up to our first session (Fear of not being heard? Anxious that things would be done that I didn't agree with?). She was able to hear that concern right out of the gate and then we got down to work! She is focused (where I am often paralyzed by overwhelm) and tremendously supportive. Her approach to organizing is simple and accessible. My time with her was not only phenomenally productive but also - I dare say - fun. I wanted to keep going (but we both needed to eat). Can't wait for our next session. read more

In awe - I can't believe how much Lisa helped us in just one afternoon. My wife and I are stressed out parents trying to stay sane in COVID times, and Lisa helped us completely reimagine our kitchen organization to 1) Make it feel far calmer, 2) Make it easy to keep tidy, and 3) Make it easier for us to cook at home! Can't wait to work with her on other areas of the home. Working with Lisa is a fantastic investment in yourself, your well-being, and your family. Edited to add - Lisa is extremely careful about COVID risk. She takes good precautions and is responsive to any concerns you have. I had no concerns about her working with us in our home, and I am very cautious about COVID risk. read more

Lisa was absolutely delightful to work with! She asked great questions about our space and our goals prior to our appointment, and she worked tirelessly to bring those goals to fruition during our appointment. Thus, we now have a walk-in closet in our bedroom that is organized and easy to access, a business space that is tidy and functional, and a kitchen counter that is finally decluttered and restored to its original beauty :) And, in addition to be being a fantastic organizer, Lisa is also personable and compassionate. So, as much as I loved the changes to our living space, I think I enjoyed her company even more. In summary, Lisa exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend her without reservation. read more

Lisa is wonderful. I found her online - I loved that her website said she loves helping people crate spaces that reflect their true selves. She does just that. I needed help in my living room and my work-from-home space. Lisa helped create the most delicious, peaceful, beautiful, comfortable living room that I looooove to be in. She asked lots of questions (what items do you love? What do you do in this space? How often do you use this?), listened to my answers, modified things when I wanted something a little different, AND took all the stuff I didn't need with her when she left. Lisa suggested that my spouse and I have a grown up cocktail hour moment in our (new, gorgeous) living room while the children are elsewhere. Why didn't I think of that? - It turns out that having more space, physically and mentally, opens up all kinds of possibilities for what I want: connection, pleasure and peace. My work from home space is clean, calm, and organized. A tiny piece of art I love is hiding in my desk drawer so I see a beautiful surprise every time I open it. Lisa helped me figure out what I do and don't need, and how to make my work space beautiful. We worked together using COVID-19 precautions: masks on, windows open, physically distant. I felt very comfortable and safe. Lisa's help and skills were so valuable to us that we are scheduling more organizing time with her. She is great to work with - type A in her organizing skills and drive, but type B in her kindness and open heart. I highly recommend her. read more

Lisa can completely change your life! I had just moved into a new, smaller apartment and was completely overwhelmed at the prospect of unpacking. I had no idea how I could get everything to fit, either. She taught me some important lessons on how to organize my home and helped me to get rid of over 9 trash bags full of stuff I don't need. You feel great about decluttering, too, because she donates your extra food and clothes to charity and recycles everything else she possibly can. And you don't even have to think about it! We were able to get everything unpacked, plan out my furniture in a way that made sense, and even free up tons of kitchen counter space. I especially recommend her to anyone with AD/HD or other executive functioning issues. read more

Very helpful and organized! Lisa is great! We needed a lot of help and have scheduled her to come back for other parts of our house.

We are in the process of a major home renovation and Lisa was highly recommended by the designer. We needed to move kitchen supplies to other parts of the house, which made it necessary to do lots of decluttering and rearranging 20+ years of stuff. Lisa was super helpful and great to work with and we hope to have her back when we finally get to put things back. read more

It's been a huge gift to work with Lisa in the process of clearing out my dad's home. She's been compassionate and helped us get through a ton of belongings over the course of just a couple sessions. We were moving at a snails pace without her guidance and expertise. I recommend working with Lisa; her support will be a relief. read more

My situation: I moved urgently into a new apartment with little time to pack. I also had emptied a storage unit the previous year, and many of those items were still in boxes. I tried on my own to declutter and organize, but I felt overwhelmed and was not making progress. After months of no progress, I decided to hire Lisa. I was anxious about her seeing my mess and how I'd been living, but she was extremely nonjudgmental through the whole process. She jumped right in and we made progress immediately. It was so helpful to have someone to guide me in what to keep, donate, recycle, or toss. She always asked my opinion. My apartment took three 4-5 hour sessions. She emailed me products suggestions between sessions and gave me optional homework. She loaded up her car with donations, and then loaded up my car with further donations. She helped me create a filing system for papers. I can now enjoy my collections, and my hobbies are easily accessible. My dogs have more space to play. I have a refuge in my own home. P.S. She write fabulous emails full of ideas, resources, and encouragement. I'd recommend you subscribe even if you aren't hiring her. read more

Lisa helped us with a basement guest room that was filled with two offices we had emptied when we started working from home. With energy and competence, she focused our attention and created a tranquil and organized guest room. She is a lovely and no nonsense presence who we will have back as we continue our decluttering and downsizing process. read more

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly hard working home organizer look no further than Lisa Holtby. She has GREAT ideas and lots of resources to help with your project. Lisa starts with a personal phone call asking questions to assess what your vision for your home is. Then, in follow up meetings, she gets to work to help you bring that vision to life. I am so thankful I chose to work with Lisa. After talking with Lisa I think you will feel the same read more

I had a wonderful, transformative experience and I am still reaping the benefits of my time with Lisa; I've recommended her services to all my friends! My home went from looking like a tornado had stormed through it, to feeling spacious, organized, and clean (things were not shoved out of sight and into closets; a ton was donated and the rest was neatly organized). I was super impressed with Lisa's expertise and her intuitive ability to 1) seamlessly keep us on track with the end goal being an organized space free from clutter (but one that nonetheless feels warm and still ME), 2) think outside the box re: solutions to the space (she moved things around and even offered suggestions to let go of some furniture) and 3) gently but firmly manage my concerns, energy and focus as we worked (it can be draining!). I will most certainly hire her again! read more

Lisa is amazing! She sees things I missed in organizing. She asks insightful questions that helped me to prioritize the things that are important and keep them in a fashion that facilitates efficiency and more productive free time in my life! I had more clutter than I ever realized and the reduced anxiety of not living to take care of my things, but using my things to enhance my life and bring joy has been invaluable. She is the queen of researching and finding the best, most affordable resources. read more

Lisa has taught me easy practices I have made into habits to better organize my home. I was feeling unbalanced as a new mom, and she helped me pinpoint and organize areas to keep my household running smoothly. The greatest benefits have been extra free time and less decision-making. She even helped me with my work schedule: she guided me through the process of breaking down intimidating deadlines week-by-week. read more

Lisa was wonderful! I appreciated that she clearly cared about COVID protocols and felt comfortable booking because she shared that she was vaccinated on her website. We had just moved and had not even started unpacking - in 1 4 hour session she had organized our garage, unpacked our bathrooms, living room, and kitchen, and given me some good ideas for furniture to purchase for our new space. I was so impressed by her energy levels! Plus she was very fun to work with. I am excited to see what we can accomplish in our next session! read more

Lisa showed up ready to work with many good suggestions and links to useful organizing products. I especially appreciate her hauling off items to donate! read more

Finding Lisa has done more for my house, life, and outlook on the future than any investment I've ever made. She comes in and with a quick look around has more practical ideas than you (certainly I) could ever come up with. And then, she works right along side you to implement the ideas, not just leaving you wishing and hoping. Her knowledge base and practical direct and focused ideas are brilliant. I've recommended her to whoever will listen to me! She's simply the best. read more

I truly enjoyed my time working with Lisa to transform my garage into a studio/game room! She offers the perfect combination of encouragement and informed direction that seamlessly moves you from a cluttered space to an enjoyable one. Lisa listens to your goals and gently helps you stay focused on getting rid of things that don't align with your vision of the space. She has a great eye and pulls in special items that have meaning and add to the authenticity of the space. She is very efficient, respectful of time and if you get stuck she asks poignant questions to help you process through. Whether it's a small closet re-org or the creation of entirely new space, Lisa has something very special to offer. I highly recommend working with her and have already referred her to several of my friends! read more

Lisa was supportive and had great ideas to help me a home office into my living room. She sent email pep talks to help me keep motivated to tackle kitchen and laundry room, too. I never felt judged by my "before" photos and feel proud of the "after!" All this happened by video calls, too! read more

Lisa is amazing. She helped my transform my office from an overwhelming mess into an organized, beautiful place. I am more productive, and more joyful in my space, and it has made a huge difference for my life and my business. She is quick and efficient and just a pleasure to work with. I can't recommend working with her highly enough. read more

My husband and I married in mid-life, and needed to turn two households into one. We got rid of obvious stuff, but were stuck with tremendous clutter. Lisa was reliably upbeat and helped us stick to our vision of having a lovely home together--even when we whined and moaned. She has a tremendous ability to move things along so that our combined household is more efficient and workable than either one of our households before. read more

Lisa was super straight-forward and helpful while I re-organized my house after a move! I was so happy to have her help with kitchen re-organization, office files, closets... everything! She even shared tips/tricks to continue organization after she left, and helped take things to donate and recycle afterwards. I highly recommend her work! read more

Lisa is amazing! We had 3 sessions together and my apartment has never looked better. I find that I can easily keep things tidy and organized now that I have gotten rid of so many things my husband and I didn't need and never used. Lisa was patient and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. I was impressed with how much we were able to get done in a short time. I look forward to using her again to help us pack next time we move. read more

Lisa is the only organizer who has been able to help me. Hire her. Other organizers would come in with a bunch of storage bins, rearrange my stuff the way they thought it should be, then left and a week or a month later, my space looked cluttered again. After having more kids and my house really needing some help, I found Lisa and my life changed. She is a kind, gentle soul and encouraged me to let go of some of the stuff weighing me down, even taking it to a refugee women's shelter. She didn't make me buy new bins, rather using what I had. Most of all - and this is why I think my space is still neat a month after she left - she created systems that are intuitive to the way I am. For example, filing cabinets never worked in my office, so she used my grid bookshelves with labels instead. And it worked. No more piles of paper. And I have a system I will actually follow. Or, my 2 year old had shoes on the floor she was always throwing around the room, and Lisa thought of keeping shoes in a bin on the top shelf of the closet. Lisa is the only organizer that succeeded in truly helping me, and I am forever grateful for my new uncluttered spaces. Yay! read more

Working with Lisa was life-changing! I have had total inertia on getting organized for years. Very overwhelming subject for me. Lisa gets in there with you and literally touches every item. In a very respectful non-invasive manner. She is incredibly efficient, and takes away items for donations, including special recycling. I highly recommend her help! She is a pro. read more

Lisa has been a huge help as my husband and I organize our lives. We originally hired Lisa to help us declutter because we have moved two households into a 2 bedroom condo. Then, a few months in, we ended up buying a house. After the move, we were stuck on what to put where. Lisa would come over for 3-4 hours a few times and help us get more work done putting away and organizing than we could do by ourselves in 2 months. She is truly a miracle worker. read more

Lisa is fantastic! I had a great experience and can't wait to have her back again. She helped me clear my office work space so that I feel more productive, creative and inspired each time I walk in. She is professional, timely, prepared, calm, and efficient. I highly recommend her!! read more

Working with Lisa has been a fantastic experience. I have a busy home with kids, friends and neighbors coming in and out. My husband and I decided to switch bedrooms from a small and cozy room to a big room that had become the catch all for everything. Not only that, we have closets and corners that have gotten out of control. After months of trying to tackle the projects ourselves I contacted Lisa. Walking her through my home and having her really listen and take in what we have and how we use our spaces was so helpful. Not only do she and I get so much done when we have a session, but she sends detailed emails with what we discussed, links to specific products she recommends, and "homework" if I have the time and inclination to do it on my own. My home is well on its way to finally becoming the space that makes sense for how we use it and a true reflection of who we are. If you are stuck with a desire but no plan, contact Lisa. She makes it all possible with kindness, humor and hard work. read more

I was gifted services by Lisa Holtby for my birthday, by my colleagues at work. She was the perfect gift! The area I wanted help with was an art space where i could keep and use my art supplies comfortably, alternating with a desk/office space for home organizing. Lisa came to my home and got a feeling for what I wanted to do, heard my ideas and offered her own, and helped me create a vision for what I wanted. We scheduled our 3-hour working session for several weeks later which gave me a chance to purge the things I knew I didn't want to move into my new space. When she arrived, we reviewed again what we were going to do and made a few more adjustments, and then she got to work! Three hours later, I will admit I was tired but excited to have almost all of my supplies rehomed, organized, and presented in a way that was inspiring, made good use of the available space, and reflected my style and preferences. Thank you, Lisa!! read more

Working with Lisa to organize my home has changed my life. I feel comfortable having friends over now. I know what I have and I can find what I need so I spend less money. I no longer feel like there is cleaning and sorting weighing over my head. My home feels like a relaxing place to be. I am grateful for her help and patience. It was hard work, but she helped guide me. I don't regret my decision to hire her in the slightest. read more

I had a wonderful first experience working with Lisa Holtby. She was prompt, professional and work expediently. We also had a lot of fun! She helped me organize our garage and basement and found ways for us to save money, was helpful at driving some of our giveaways to strategic non-profits, and was very thoughtful in her input on how to make the areas feel clean, cohesive and sensible. I look forward to working with her again! read more
