I highly recommend Lisa Gooding for her services as a Professional Organizer.

Lisa was instrumental in helping me to transform the way I live. Lisa helped me to re-organize my personal possessions and it greatly reduced the amount of clutter in my house. We determined what was meaningful and important for me to hold onto, what was taking up space that could better serve someone else and donated these items to a charity, and we determined what needed to be thrown away.

For those items remaining, she organized all of my belongings in logical, space-saving compartments. Now, my common areas are clutter-free. I feel comfortable inviting unexpected guests into my home. I'm finally entertaining without having to spend weeks in advance "Straightening" the house up first.

I feel liberated from the "Stuff" that previously controlled my spare rooms and seemed to overrun my house.

Lisa has an amazing ability to be empathetic and realistic. She asked me thought-provoking questions to help me determine what I needed to keep and what I should part with. It was a tremendous experience and one for which I remain grateful to her.

For these reasons, I recommend Lisa without reservation to assist anyone who could benefit from being better organized in their life.

Lisa helped me get organized back in the spring of 1999! At that time, I was getting married and moving my things into the house of my soon to be husband. The problem was closet space. His closets were no bigger than the closets at my place. I faced combining two people's things into somewhat limiting closet space. Additionally, the configurations of the main closets were somewhat strange in shape, making it more difficult to utilize the space effectively. To add to the problem, neither my husband nor I had many things that we wanted to part with or didn't use anymore.

Lisa helped me go through my things, and I did part with a few things. She introduced me to storage containers that were stackable. In the containers I put things that included clothes I would be wearing during a different season or things that I didn't use often. The storage containers effectively utilized the upper shelves in the closet. She also helped me arrange the hanging clothes in such a way that effectively utilized the space.

When it was all finished, my husband and I were able to combine our belongings into the closet space with ease. Additionally, the closets were tidy - everything had its place!

I highly recommend Lisa Gooding for her services as a Professional Organizer! You will be pleased with the outcome!

Lisa assisted my husband and me in getting our master closet organized and efficient. We had a "let's hold onto this item a little longer; I may use it" problem. Lisa was able to assess our needs. Lisa asked us questions to determine our habits, which enabled both of us to develop a working solution to our cluttered closet.

Lisa developed a wonderful shoe rack system. Now I can clearly see all of my shoes. I love it! She also developed an innovative wine storage system for our closet. We are able to store and select our wine with ease. It is a very user-friendly system.

I now breathe easier when I enter my closet. I actually feel good when I am in my closet. How many people can say that?

It is without reservation that I recommend Lisa Gooding. You will feel so good being organized.

Lisa Gooding has an eye for what needs to be organized and how to accomplish the organization. I am a collector and pack rat. Lisa helped me organize my master closet. Lisa led me through the organizing process and made it less painful. I used to keep clothes for years and years, even if I no longer wore them. Lisa gave me rules that help me decide if it is time to donate or trash the clothes I no longer wear. My closet is now organized with clothes I wear, clothes I like and clothes that look good on me.

I enjoyed working with Lisa. She was fun, enthusiastic and serious about getting me organized.

My closet typically is unorganized or would stay organized for no longer than a week. I would spend a few extra minutes everyday trying to find my other shoe in my closet. I would also waste time not remembering where that piece of clothing was that I needed.

Lisa helped me organize my closet. First we sorted everything (what to keep, donate, or throw out). We decided what storage units would be appropriate for my closet based on my cost and my taste. She helped me organize my clothing items by style and color.

My closet has been organized for 4 months. I do not have to waste time trying to find the matching shoe. Everything has a place. Lisa made organizing a fun and positive experience and I highly recommend her.

In 1995 Lisa volunteered to organize and pack me for a move from Wichita, Kansas to Chicago. She did such a thorough and amazing job -- I have no idea how she packed everything so quickly and efficiently, but we used fewer boxes with her methods and absolutely nothing was broken. And when the boxes arrived it was so easy to find everything. Since then, I've called on Lisa for advice about organizing many times over the years and she truly has a gift -- I'm constantly surprised by the great ideas she comes up with! In my worst states of disorganization I was so embarrassed to show anyone how badly my closets and living spaces looked. Lisa has absolutely no judgment -- she really understands that people have lives and being organized doesn't come naturally to everyone. She is fair, honest and straightforward, not to mention fun and easy going. I highly recommend Lisa. She not only does a great job but her ideas and advice are realistic -- you can implement them for daily living no matter how big your family or how busy your life is. You will be amazed at what a clutter-free life can do for your sense of well being!
