My office was..... not in a good place. Even the dog didn't want to go in there. I had about a thousand piles of piles all over the floor and I didn't even know where to start. I'm usually a pretty organized person, but this room had gone so far off the deep end, I froze up every time I even thought about doing something with it. I had so much anxiety about this room and all the stuff in it. Within 4 hours, Katrina had me completely sorted. My wife came in and squealed. My dog came in and took a nap on the floor. I've been working in there and it's a joy again. Katrina. 14/10. Would recommend. read more

Katrina gave me a method to make intentional room for the activities that truly matter to me. I had been overwhelmed by a bunch of stuff accumulated over the years, cluttering shelves, desk and table surfaces. She helped me break down my organization project into small and achievable steps. She attentively listened to my goals and then worked efficiently. She was also very responsive when I first contacted her. I highly recommend her services. read more

Every time I have worked with Katrina, we have gone through three times as much stuff as I expected to. She's incredible at understanding how stuff should and could be organized, and suggesting brilliant tactics for going through what is left. I've been working on going through a LOT that I have inherited from my parents and grandparents, and I would feel like I were drowning if it weren't for Katrina's calm, clear, and brilliant guidance and work. read more

I saw Katrina speak at a business networking event, she was so insightful and really shared the ways in which her business can help clients vs. when they try to do the work themselves. Also, she shared how she can help clients residentially, professionally, etc. Whether its was one room they needed help with, a whole home, or even just cleaning up their emails - she can really do it all. She makes a mountain of work, a simple road to follow. read more

Katrina is the real deal. I've worked with different organizers over the years and she is, by far, the best for my office, storage unit and utility closet. All the fun stuff. The systems she helped me put in place are as useful and streamlined as they were 2 years ago when I hired her just for my office. I highly recommend Katrina Consults. read more

Let me just start with: Katrina is incredible. I had a room in my apartment that was the "catch all" room. It's initial intent was to be a craft room/office, but after three years it had become piles and piles and boxes and boxes of unorganized miscellaneous STUFF. I'd call it, embarrassingly, hoarding light. You could barely open the door. It was a problem I was just never going to deal with. But then, I needed to. My mom died and I felt like I really needed a space to be in that I could go in and grieve, or do yoga, or have my dad stay over. The stuff piles had to go. The job was huge. Katrina organized an army of my friends to come in and get the job done. She took lead and tasked people and put them to work. She sorted the piles and boxes into organized, accessible spaces that made sense. She gave me back 300 square feet of space that I desperately needed. In fact, the organization system that she set up that day was *so* effective that when I moved from that apartment to a new home I was easily able to reassemble everything back into an organized room in my new home. Let Katrina help you. You won't regret it. read more

Katrina Consults - Panoramic view of organization. - Home Organization Near Me

Katrina deserves an honorary PhD in "Business & Home Organization Psychology!" I can say with confidence -- because I'm a 'patient' -- that Katrina is like a therapist for how to gain back control over (or learn for the first time how to manage) your home clutter, office paperwork, or business organization systems. If I could, I'd like to award her an honorary PhD in "Business & Home Organization Psychology." What's most impressive about her methodology is that she starts out quiet and considered, not passing judgement or showering you with "to-dos" and tips right off the bat. Particularly at first, Katrina looks to *you* to set the lead. As you begin to go through what needs to be done -- what mess needs to be "un-messed," or what systems you've been using for your home or business that might not be working fully -- she doesn't pass judgement or start to tell you what to do. She appears to be taking mental notes along the way, and sometimes jots down her observations, ideas, or "homework" for you to do later. At first she just asks you what your goals and priorities are. It's not until a little bit into the process -- sometimes closer to the end of the day -- that she begins to offer her suggestions out loud, like a good therapist might do. As Katrina gently guides the process, you begin to see how 'like' things are put with 'like,' and certain processes that you've held sacred or objects you have emotional attachment to are not forcefully wrested from your hands. She will share what she has noticed and then you are able to begin to understand, in your own heart, that they may be ready to be let go of. It's up to *you* to decide. No judgement is passed. Quiet logic is used. Another way of putting it is that Katrina is like the intellectual, logical version of Marie Kondo. Instead of using mantras and zen phrases (think "spark joy"), Katrina offers you logical observations and ideas that often strike you like lightening bolts or "Aha!" moments. For a specific example: We had initially spent some time unearthing and going through about a half-dozen boxes of paperwork from my multiple businesses and home records. Like many people, I've had the long-held belief that I should hold on to up to seven years worth of bank statements, receipts, utility, store, and credit card bills, and other paper records. That may still be true in some specific areas (please check with your tax accountant), but Katrina pointed out something that made logical sense to me: In most cases you already have that same information tracked electronically. Utilities or department store bills already paid and accounted for? Why keep the statements. Receipts already entered into Quicken or QuickBooks? Is it really worth the mental and physical space to keep years worth of miscellaneous, unsorted mess that you are probably never going to get to? Probably not! Personally, I learned from Katrina that the mountain of paperwork I'd been saving to "someday organize" may not all need to be saved -- or even looked at -- ever again! In an instant, I discovered how freeing it can be to begin to let much of it go, and the emotional baggage along with it. Katrina is generous with her time and affordable too. I've worked with Katrina about four times now, and plan to do so more in the future. It may be obvious from this review, but I deeply and wholeheartedly recommend that you hire "Katrina Consults" now!! You'll be very glad you did. read more

When I added a new initiative to my already full plate I became overwhelmed by the idea of managing so many different moving pieces. Katrina Consults was brilliant at helping me map out a strategy for keeping all the pieces organized and developing an approach to my work that matched my professional and personal goals. In particular, she helped me realize where I should be spending the bulk of my time. I highly recommend that you hire Katrina to guide you through "all things organizational!" read more

Consult with Katrina ASAP! She is super easy to communicate with and she takes care of you. Look no more, she is the best organizer!!

Working with Katrina has been a game changer. She is a different kind of organizer and a breath of fresh air. I have hired a professional organizer before and had a strong, specific point of view on what type of help I was looking for. I DID NOT to want to hire someone who could come and make my closet or bedroom look Pinterest or Instagram ready for a day, only to devolve into chaos shortly after they left. I have hired that help before and it was a poor investment. Like a previous reviewer, Katrina is more like a therapist than an traditional organizer. She subtly over the course of the day guides you to your own self-realizations. She is not overly pushy but she is also not afraid to step in and call you out gently when you fall back into bad habits. She gives great feedback and notes and homework. She is also great at navigating couples who have differing perspectives on "stuff" and have created emotional baggage over the years around the topic. We have worked with her for 4 full days now as we prep to move out for a whole house remodel and will hire her again when we move back in. Strongly recommend you hire her too! read more

To thank Katrina doesn't seem like enough. Her strategy is simple - get to the core of the "why" by listening and then offering comfort, advice and the necessary guidance for you to get the work done. The result - Katrina not only transformed our home, but our lives. There are no words to describe the incredible feeling of being able to see the floor or sit at the dining room table or see actual books on a bookcase instead of papers falling off every time you walk by. She leads you to that "Aha!" moment and from there everything falls into place. She helps you conquer the "why's" and take control over a very large part of your life, your home. So, as simple as it sounds...Thank you, Katrina. read more

Katrina's work is more necessary and helpful than you could imagine. I am a new business owner, and am constantly navigating decisions, and space, and schedules, and when is the best time to do this vs. that...and working with Katrina has helped with ALL of the above. My office space is more clean and organized, the flow is easier to navigate for me and my clients, and the sense of ease and grounding I get from working with her is priceless. Highly recommend! She is affordable, and also one of the best investments you will make. She isn't kidding when she says she helps you to make room for what you love! read more

Katrina is wonderful, patient and calm in a process that can feel very overwhelming. She helped my husband and I reclaim our multi-use garage space, which had devolved into complete unusable disarray, in the course of just a half day. This is a task that we'd attempted on our own many times before realizing it had become something beyond our abilities. She was right there with us through the whole process, providing some very helpful guidelines and processes. It can be an emotional thing, saying good bye to "stuff" we'd held on to for years for various reasons. Her nonjudgemental presence, naturally serene manner and good humor made the process rewarding. We cannot recommend her enough, for jobs large and small. read more

I've been trying to organize my office since 1987. With some success but mostly not. Then I began working with Katrina. Clutter is an inner and an outer problem - Katrina helped me address both. She knows the productivity tools and trained me to use the ones that worked best for me. More importantly though, she helped me work through the reasons I didn't want to part with my clutter in the first place. We were also able to do all our work remotely. Katrina, with her knowledge and patience, made organizing easier, faster, more successful, and best of all, showed me how to make it stick for the long term. read more
