Meredith is professional. Spent 4 hours cleaning my messy bedroom last month and it's still clean to this day. Great investment in my sanity. Thank you, Meredith! read more

After years of lamentation and anxiety about my cluttered and disorganized home, I turned 50 and let myself ride the what-if-I-die-up-in-here-and-they-find-me-like-this momentum to at last do something about it. I reached out to Tidy LA/Meredith by recommendation of a trusted friend. Working with Meredith has had an enormous positive impact on my day-to-day life, and I notice new ways in which she's made my life easier every time I turn around. Before my first session with Meredith, I had anxiety about being judged, feeling overwhelmed, not feeling "ready" to start, and/or being compelled to buy numerous color-coded plastic containers. However, my mind was quickly placed at ease by Meredith's understanding, intuitive, and conscientious nature. She brings skill, talent, kindness, and integrity to the entire home organizing process. Meredith quickly absorbed what I needed (both in terms of my physical and mental space) and how to best achieve results while making the process productive, peaceful, and even fun. I was involved in a way that felt comfortable to me, but Meredith made everything work. Crowded furniture and box stacks and paper piles and drawers of ephemera were pulled from dust mote purgatory, exposed to air, examined and, when that inevitable midpoint "messier than when we started" state would arrive, the arc of activity in Meredith's hands would smoothly cascade toward order - reorchestrating objects and recomposing the space into something lovely, airy, and calm. As a world-class overthinker, I've covered the waterfront of on this decision. I could always come up with reasons not to get professional organizing help - all the while, the clutter remained, my home never felt livable, and the years went by. Now, walking through my house, I do double-takes in once-chaotic, depressing rooms that have been transformed into serene and functional spaces. My *only* regret around engaging Meredith's services is not having done so sooner! read more

We just moved into one new home from two, and had to consolidate things from both houses. Needless to say, a bit of a nightmare! Now our kitchen is s Meredith and her team spent 2 1/2 days here and voila! Two kitchens are now streamlined into one, four closets worth of clothing now are in just two, and my office which was filled with cartons of books , is now super organized! What a wonderful, helpful experience! Heartily recommend Tidy LA! read more

3 years ago I read both books by Marie Kondo. I was in a home with domestic violence and I promised my son that I would no longer leave him unwatched with his father at home, while I was tucked in a corner organizing away. I started the Marie Kondo sorting by category and threw out all the clothes in the house into heaps. My son had a pediatrician appointment and we were told not to return to the house while police and Child Protective Services were dispatched to speak to the father. In phase one of the Marie Kondo clearing the closets, my former spouse was able to turn the allegation from his child abuse to my appearance of keeping the kids in a hoarding space: the outcome was that Pasadena DCFS concluded general neglect on my part to provide living space for the children. From that day, I was unable to read or watch about Marie Kondo. Meredith showed up and I told her I believe that joy is my new apartment with the children where they are happy and safe. Meredith gave me closure from this trauma and let me believe again in the Marie Kondo life. She came to my apartment and I was shocked that she didn't ask me to throw anything away even if it didn't give me joy -- for the purpose of my financial situation, I needed to use everything I had. Meredith is a dynamic practitioner who truly evolves the Marie Kondo method to meet you where you're at in your life. She accomplishes joy in your home even in the most desperate life situation: She didn't need me to spend a dollar on bins and gave me strength to get back on my feet -- if only Mario Kondo could know this noble story of her student. read more

TLDR: I hired Meredith to help tidy and declutter my apartment and I was very happy with her service. She is professional, thoughtful and supportive, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone. I am generally considered to be pretty organized by people I know, but that's really out of necessity because I find even a small mess to be super stressful. My apartment was superficially tidy but I had too many things and my organizing systems weren't as functional as they could be. I have hired organizers in the past and I felt like many didn't really deliver much beyond making things look nicer, but I had used the Konmari method before and knew that it was a deeper level of connecting to things and really making them a positive and additive part of your daily life. I tried applying it myself again but it was just too overwhelming this time so I decided to hire a Konmari expert. I went to the Konmari Consultant directory and filtered for the most qualified providers. I read bios and looked at websites and eventually decided on Meredith because she seemed to be very competent and had great testimonials, but also just somehow seemed really approachable and friendly. Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, I had as much shaming and judgement for being 'messy' as I need for a lifetime, and if I need criticism for not being organized enough I don't even need to look outside my own brain to get it. I did a 30 minute zoom consultation and she was just as empathetic and supportive as I had hoped from her website so I hired her for a 20-hour multi-session package. Our first session was clothing, and I didn't expect much to change because I had done it myself only a few weeks prior, but as we went through things she asked me a lot of questions about things and how I felt about them and I realized I was actually hanging on to a lot of things for reasons other than loving how I felt wearing them or truly needing them. I made a pile to donate and a pile to sell, and what was left over fit much better into my space. I never felt any pressure to 'pare down' or even to try to fit it into the space I had, it just kind of happened. The second and third sessions we worked on the messiest and most overwhelming part of my apartment. I have a small home office that serves as my office (duh), sewing room, Etsy shop warehouse/shipping department, yarn and knit/crochet storage, manicure and nail art station, and general crafting space and supply storage. I had tried in the past to organize it and make it functional and visually bearable, if not aesthetic, but nothing ever worked and I just couldn't fit everything in. In about 10 hours we went through every. single. thing. in that room (if you craft you know that's literally thousands of 'bits and bobs' on top of the obvious machines, fabric, yarn, etc) and organized it by category, chose what stayed and what didn't, and stored what was left so it not only looked calm and tidy, but made it easy to take out just what I needed for a project, and, more importantly, to put it away properly. Meredith was super patient and I never felt rushed or like she was bored with all my ramblings and tangents during the process. (Did I mention ADHD?) She was understanding when I had to take multiple breaks and never pushed me to keep going when it started to get to be too much. In our last session, we tackled my other storage areas and managed to carve out a little pantry space in a closet so I could store some extra food outside my postage stamp sized kitchen that only holds about a week's worth of food, which was pretty stressful during the shortages. I would have never thought to do this on my own, and it has been great to be able to keep some extras on hand, as well as more variety so we aren't eating the same things day after day. My apartment is now so much more pleasant and functional than before I hired Meredith to help me sort it out. I can tidy the whole place in about 15 minutes because I know exactly where everything goes and there is always enough space to put it away. I can store all my craft supplies at once and keep my desk clear for actually working on, and I enjoy my hobby time more knowing that I don't have a bunch of unfinished chores hanging over my head. I highly recommend Meredith for home or office organization, especially if you have ADHD or get overwhelmed easily. She is an expert in the Konmari method and can help you easily cut through the mental noise and find the things that serve you and easily let go of the rest with no hesitation or second thoughts. She also has a knack for storing things in a way that is not only aesthetic but practical and easy to maintain. She clearly saw things I was doing that made my life more difficult but I never felt like I was being judged or condescended to. I also just really enjoyed her company; it felt like working with a supportive friend who also just happened to be very knowledgeable and skilled. read more

Working with Meredith and Tidy LA has been one of the best decisions (and money well spent!) we've made in a while! Meredith helped us organize our basement and laundry space, closets, and the garage. Sadly these places became a sort of dumping ground for all the kid items, holiday decorations, home supplies, etc. Meredith was such a joy to work with. She was wonderful at supporting our whole family (kids included!) in determining what to keep and what we were ready to part with. She transformed these spaces from "dumping grounds" to organized, efficient, and beautiful spaces. She is professional, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond to ensure you are happy with the final outcome. Highly, highly recommend!!! read more

Meredith is great! I highly recommend her for any of your organizing projects, she is efficient, professional, friendly... What else can I say? She's amazing! She helped me re-organize my home office into an efficient work space. She also helped me reclaim my garage and turn it into a home gym/storage space! She can look at a space and visualize what should go where. I am very happy with the results and will definitely be calling her again! read more

Meredith is a gem. She really helped me organize my life and was a huge part of my move after and my new chapter of owning a house. She was very professional but also super friendly. Took her time to understand me as a client and work with me to get me to my goal. I am so happy I got to work with Meredith and I can't wait to have more projects with her in the future. read more
