Calhoun, Tn, Us

From an early age, I was drawn to tidy closets, organizing and putting things back where I found them. Frequently there were screams throughout the house with, "She's been here!"After spending 15+ years in Corporate America, I became a professional organizer and opened Absolutely Organized by KO. Organizing has come naturally to me and I just assumed it did for everyone else but over the years when I have helped people downsize, move, and organize their houses it has become clear that people need my expertise. I come alive when I get to organize and especially when I see the look of peace on someone's face. I aim to use my lifelong organizing and decluttering skills to empower people to overcome the hurdles they face with any part of their home. My rates are by the hour and usually do 4-hour long sessions as it can be more manageable for you. I will give you homework to do in your own time until I return for the second session. We can use items that you already have or I can help guide you in products that you will need to finish the project. Leading you to a life of being Absolutely Organized.
