She has the ability to look at a situation that needs organizing like a puzzle, and in a short period of time she can solve the puzzle. She completely organized our kitchen so that it works efficiently according to our needs. She found containers to organize all the drawers that we didn't even know existed. It was like walking into a new kitchen that felt familiar, but was so much easier to use. This was all done in a record amount of time. She reorganized my office by moving the furniture and adding shelving to make the room more user friendly and more attractive. It was a vision that I could not see before she did her magic. The room feels more spacious even with more furniture. We felt that Debbie was one of the best investments we made during our remodel and move. We have used Debbie for other projects that we just don't seem to have time to do. For example, she reorganized our garage and now we can actually park both of our cars in the space. She helped us put together earthquake kits for our home and car. She is such a valuable resource I cannot recommend her highly enough. When you don't have time to do it yourself, call Debbie: 650-370-0440 Mary Novie/Cary Hersh

Meredith helped me organize my entire house, such that I actually felt proud of its tidiness, and inspired me to keep it that way, mostly.

Maggie just spent 30 minutes on the phone with me answering questions and letting me pick her brain (it's a very good brain!). She's so articulate and experienced and I came away feeling supported and cared for and I received sage advice that I will feel safe implementing at work. It should be stated again that SPN are so good at what they do; they placed me with a wonderful family 7 years ago and I'm still there! Amazing, right? Thanks again Stanford Park!

I'm independent and self-sufficient and this was the first time I enliste someone's help on matters like this. She made it easy for me. When I contacted her, she was quick to respond and very professional. When I spoke with her on the phone, it seemed that she knew what she was doing and had solid experience. She came across as professional and friendly, competent, clear, and ready to get down to business. I've worked in a few different industries in my adult life and have interviewed prospective employees. My intuition on these things has tended to be solid. Ashley fit the bill. She came across as professional and trustworthy. She described her process for handling sensitive information, which I appreciated. She was also very understanding about a recent death in the family that contributed to my overwhelm. We did all the work remotely. She got me up to speed on a shared password system, a project management system, and kept active lists of what we were each doing. This kept my head clear and me on task. She made things easy, and all the work was completed in time. I'm very grateful to Ashley. I highly recommend her to make your life and/or business much easier!

Working with Keith has been a life-changing experience, truly. I tell basically everyone I know…read moreabout it. After six sessions he's not only transformed my space but my relationship to it: my home is no longer a source of stress and chaos, but a sanctuary where I can fully unwind. I can now maintain a baseline of organization with ease, without needing long weekend cleaning sessions. I know where everything is and don't need to waste time searching for my things. I never thought I could be this type of person. What's special about Keith is that he doesn't just organize, he teaches you the skills required for maintaining an organized home over the long term, tailored to you. He's trained with Marie Kondo and specializes in organizing for ADHD. He asks excellent questions in the decluttering process and has brilliant strategies for organization--I don't have ADHD but find that his methods work very well for my busy pace of life. I've developed a better understanding of why disorganization happens and how to address them and create systems as needed. All that to say, working with Keith is one of the best investments I've ever made. He's also a lovely person to spend an afternoon with, and always communicative, warm, and incredibly punctual. I'm so grateful to him and could not recommend his services more.
