About the Founder

I have always had a natural affinity for organizing and a true love of creating an inspiring place.  So, 4 years ago, I created a company and a life that would help me to expand my skills – Positive Place Design.  But how can I help you?  What can I or any of my trained Organizers do to help you to stop feeling stressed, embarrassed or overwhelmed (even guilty!)  by your ‘stuff’? Your piles of clothes, books, papers, whatever, that have taken over your home?  Why should you pick up that phone or send an email asking me for help? 

Because I know that being organized is not some special gift that only a few people are born with.  I know that, usually, it is the space or the home or your hectic schedule that is to blame for the clutter and mess that is causing you so much distress.  I know how to teach, coach, inspire and motivate you to get organized.  These are my gifts and talents.  There are lessons and systems that you have never been taught that I can show you!  I, and all of my Organizers, know how to evaluate, identify, simplify and then organize all aspects of your space, stuff, life and YOU.  It is all inter-connected!  Life CAN get messy…and we can help!

We offer the most competitive pricing in Canada because I believe that hiring an Organizer should be available to every budget level and anyone wanting to end their disorganized woes.  I also offer the largest variety of packages that are flexible and can be customized for busy lives and cluttered homes. I even include all this information on my website!

If your car doesn’t work, you call the mechanic.  If your child is sick, you call the doctor.  If you want to get fit and improve your health, you call a Personal Trainer.  If your home and life is disorganized you should absolutely call a Professional Organizer. It’s that simple.  You will be so relieved and happy that you finally decided to invest in regaining control of your surroundings and organizing your life.  There are far, far too many important things in life to be doing than wasting time and stressing about your stuff!  Life can get messy…and we can help!

Background

Positive Place Design is an exciting home organizing company that was created because we truly believe that your home should be a calm and enjoyable retreat from the everyday hectic world. It should nurture and support you every single day, not make it more difficult and stressful.

We offer a variety of packages to solve any organizing challenge,
every budget and schedule:

Finally deciding to get organized will allow you to destroy the negative weight that disorganization
has on your everyday life and free up valuable time and energy for the more important things in
your life. We first eliminate negative and excess stuff and then organize the essential elements and possessions of your space to create a more positive and enriching space.

Getting and staying organized at home or in your home office is not some special gift given to a lucky few. It is a system of tools, skills and proven strategies that we will teach to you. We specialize in designing realistic solutions that will help you to create an environment that is organized, efficient and stress free. And most importantly, maintain it!

You must let go of negative possessions in your home that are
unwanted, unneeded or have bad memories attached to them.
It is very detrimental to keep anything that gives
you unpleasant or negative feelings.
