Decluttering and Help with Hoarding
If you collect possessions to a level where your health and safety are compromised, then you need help. Almost always associated with an enormous emotional loss in life, hoarding isolates you from family and friends. You may also be violating fire safety bylaws and living in a hazardous environment. If you can’t sleep in your bed any longer and you can’t cook on your stove, call me.
​
Letting go of unwanted clutter can be a breath of fresh air in one’s life. The pressure lifts, along with the guilt. You don’t have to hide out anymore.
​
Clearing your living space is the first huge step. I can provide ongoing practical and emotional support to enable you to maintain your new space. You are not alone!
How Can I Help?
Packing and Moving
Moving house can be a tiring and overwhelming task. My goal is to make things as simple as possible for you. This is always a good time to clear out unwanted goods and I will do that with you. It’s always easier with two.
​
I bring all packing materials to your home, and if you’re moving to a smaller home, I can help you decide what to keep and what to let go of.
​
I deliver goods to auction and donations to a charity of your choice. I take extra care with personal papers. I once found a will in a freezer compartment! If you have precious items you would like to go to family members, I can arrange shipping.
​
Everything will be labeled meticulously and I can unpack at your new home if that’s what is required. I can provide a floorplan of your new home so you can see where your furniture will fit. We tailor our services to fit your needs and your budget.
If you’ve lost a loved one or have to finalize an estate, I can dispose of an entire household of goods. After you’ve removed heirlooms, I sort through everything. I have a practiced and discerning eye for quality and value. Items of particular value will be brought to your attention. I then deliver goods to auction and donation. Liaising with the realtor, I can provide basic staging, pre-sale.
​
While we make every effort to dispose of possessions appropriately, we do not purchase goods from clients.
