About Claudia

I love dirt!

The kind you dig your hands in to grow food and flowers, but also the kind that accumulates in our beautiful, messy lives. Dirt is real and it includes everything. I love dirt because it’s where all life comes from. It’s the rich fertility of the hidden world.

– It’s the dance teacher who broke out of the orphanage at age 11, didn’t go to school and never learned to make a space that included self care.

– It’s the man from the wealthy family who didn’t even know how deprived of any real emotion he was.

– It’s the insanely brilliant woman who fired one organizer after another because she only knew how to push people away.

– It’s me when I wasn’t able to grocery shop or clean for a year because I’d broken my foot and just couldn’t do it.

– And it’s me at five years old when my mother was ill and I felt responsible for the whole house.

I know what it’s like to feel stuck and not have choices. I’ve felt, ashamed, guilty, embarrassed, exhausted, and overwhelmed…

…and I know how to dig out of the mess and the overwhelm. I’ve learned compassion for all of us who make piles and messes that feel too big to ever get through. I’ve also learned patience for the long road to real freedom.

Am I the right organizer for you?

I’m not the quick-fix lady, because I see how organizing “tips and tricks” and superficial solutions don’t work over time and often do more harm than good.

What I am is the Get it ALL The Way Done Lady.

I’m committed to putting YOU in your home and setting you up to keep it up.

Together we can discover why you accumulate and hold onto things, find where you want to spend your precious time and energy and where you don’t.

And as we chip away at the mountain of stuff and discover the hidden jewels, we also excavate who you really are.

Bringing sacred order to spaces and bodies and lives is what I was born for…

…and I truly love all the dirt along the way!

When you plant a new seed in the soil,
the first thing that comes up
is not the new shoot.

The first thing that comes up is a little dirt.

My Approach

I see all things as part of life. I see you as an amazing, unique being.

I believe the bond between you and your belongings is sacred. So I trust you. I respect you. I respect your things and I never try to make you “get rid” of anything.

I also don’t tell you what to let go of or judge your choices in any way. Ever.

What I do is listen. Really listen. And watch. I find the patterns that have caused what isn’t working for you and the ways to create the deep, lasting change you’ve been longing for.

It’s therapy for your home and it’s life-changing transformation for you.

You’ll learn all kinds of surprising things about where your time, energy and money have been going. You’ll discover what matters most to you, unearth who you really are, and heal the past as you choose your own future. Together, we’ll put YOU into your home, not into somebody else’s way of living or system of organizing.

One step at a time, we’ll design your space with your systems to flow in a way that makes it easier to put something away than it is to leave it out…and that can change everything.

Whatever it takes, I’ll gently guide you out of the mess and overwhelm all the way into the life you’ve dreamed of…even if you’ve forgotten what that dream is. I’d be honored to be your guide to create a space that supports your best life and your fullest potential.

Then you’ll soar on your own. And that’s the best part!
