    Julie LaCroix Career Exploration and Planning

    I retained Julie's services for my daughter with regards to helping her pick a college major that…read morewould fit her personality and long term objectives. My daughter enjoyed working with Julie very much.

    So, I originally wrote this review almost four months ago. Julie LaCroix saw the review and…read moreresponded to it. However, did she do anything to make sure she answered the main element of the complaint (that she won't stop spamming me in spite of numerous requests over the years - including those apparently only decorative "unsubscribe" links in her emails?). No. Screen shot for proof. Draw what conclusions you will. Original Review and Comment on Response: I had two appointments with Julie LaCroix several years ago. I ultimately thought the sessions were a waste of time and (quite a lot of) money. She decided my skill set made me a particularly good fit for a specific type of job, and she disregarded my repeated protests that the job in question went against my moral values. She made up her mind and was incapable of hearing anything that didn't align with her first (somewhat arbitrary seeming) idea. She ended our last session by throwing together a ridiculous, typo-ridden resume in a couple minutes targeted at a position I had made clear I would not apply for. (Since that time I finished my graduate degree and am working in a suitable career.) After our second meeting, I was ready to move on and not give career therapists another thought. I have not had that luxury, however, since Julie LaCroix has spammed me and stalked me on social media ever since. Every couple years, I get re-added to her email list which I have never given her permission to put me on, and she has not responded to messages asking her to desist. She also periodically tries to connect with me on social media (she is undeterred by my refusal to connect with her, and, again, does not respond to messages asking her to desist in contacting me). I understand that she thinks networking will help grow her business. I don't understand why she thinks harassing people and ignoring them when they object would be beneficial to anyone. Given her systematic abuse of my personal information, however, I am no longer surprised that she could not process my objection to an unethical career. **Regarding Response** Notice the non-denial regarding the abusive email practices I describe. Also note the absence of a statement that she would address this matter and make sure I am not re-added to her list again in the future. The rest is a matter of he-said-she-said, but why, after 11 years, would I have reason to think of her--much less make random false claims in a review? I would encourage her to check her email (julie@julielacroix.com) to see that I have, in fact, contacted her multiple time over the past 11 years to ask that she stop re-adding me to her spam list. She has also found me years after using her (dis)services and tried to get me to engage with her professional profiles on Facebook and Instagram over the years. The dishonesty/lack of integrity in her response here is appalling.

    I reached out to Michael and Michelle at the beginning of 2025 after my dad passed away in December…read more2024. In the middle of my grief, I felt completely overwhelmed by the amount of belongings my parents had accumulated over nearly 40 years. I had lost my mom in 2009, and while my dad did his best, organization just wasn't his strength. When Michael and Michelle came out to provide an estimate, they were incredibly kind and compassionate toward my sister and me. Most importantly, they were completely nonjudgmental about the condition of the house (think hoarding-level clutter). I felt embarrassed, but they immediately reassured me that there was nothing to be ashamed of; they were simply there to help. Due to some outside circumstances, we weren't able to move forward with the cleanout until April 2026. When I reached back out, Michael remembered us and was just as kind as before. He even honored the original quote from the year prior, which I truly appreciated. Before the cleanout, I gave Michael a list of items I wanted set aside (photos, jewelry, money, etc.). There was also a watch we hadn't been able to locate, but Michael found it! That level of care and attention meant so much. Michael and his crew were not only thorough, but incredibly efficient. In just two days, they cleared out my dad's entire house, aside from the items I asked them to save. I wish I had taken before-and-after photos, because what they accomplished was nothing short of amazing. I will always be grateful for the care, respect, and professionalism Michael and his team showed during such a difficult time. They truly lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Michael, Michelle, and your entire crew.

    Wonderful experience! They helped me clean out my mom's storage unit after she passed. Quick…read moreresponse to my inquiry, accurate quote, the guys were fabulous, friendly and very efficient. Would highly recommend!

    I reached out to Sara 5 years ago when I was overwhelmed and stressed. She came in and taught me…read moreher calendaring system and took the time to follow up and make sure I was implementing it. (When you learn her system it's no mystery how she remembers to do that.) She doesn't teach by showing you and walking away. She has you do it on the spot, getting every little to-do out of your head, onto paper, then scheduled on the calendar. The relief you feel when you know that you won't forget something important is unreal. I've tried a million different ways to keep track of things, methods for doing certain things on certain days, etc... none of that works. Life is always in flux and her system lets you embrace that. It also doesn't hurt that Sara is super funny, down to earth, and a living breathing organizing Mary Poppins. I've had a little taste of her physical organizing services and convinced they are just as amazing as her calendaring system. I live in a tiny space and run a business from it as well so it requires quite a bit of ingenuity. I'm looking forward to getting some of her help here with maximizing closet space etc... She's the best.

    As a long time client, I can say Sara and her team are the best! She takes away the overwhelm I…read morealways feel when planning parties. She and her team were so helpful during our last party. Where I am normally running around filling people's drinks, refilling ice and cleaning up plates, I found I could really enjoy our guests and participate in the celebration. It's so worth it! Once you have their help, you won't want to try doing it without. We don't have to do it all ourselves! Thank you Sara!!
