Certified Professional Organizer

Masters of Science Education

WELCOME

As a business owner, wife and mom, I know how important it is to be efficient and mindful in daily life. Organizing a home can be tough, especially when making many decisions. I’ve helped clients facing cancer, trauma, and mental illness organize spaces from offices to homes. My background in nonviolent communication allows me to offer a gentle, understanding approach, influenced by polyvagal theory and mindfulness.

I often start sessions with a short breathing exercise to calm busy minds before we tackle the clutter. We work together at your pace to create custom organizing systems. By establishing zones and assigning items to specific places, we make spaces more manageable and peaceful. I can help you manage your time and makeover your environment, creating room for what you love and welcoming more ease and joy into your life.

TESTIMONIALS

I had been struggling with clutter and organizing for years. When talking to a friend, I was told that I had to contact Lori Palmer. We started working together in January 2015 as my apartment had a huge flood and was transitioning from carpet to hardwood floors. Lori helped me to pack up everything in an organized manner to make the transition smooth and easy which would not have been possible without her help.

Time is very important to me and I felt that I was always wasting it looking for things. Lori helped me to create an organizational system where now I only need to look in one or two places as I know where everything is in my apartment. Lori is patient, kind and caring and is passionate about her work. 

I have a lot of memorabilia as I lost my brother several years ago and feel very attached to many things. She never forced me to get rid of anything but she asked questions that helped me come to my own realization of whether or not I needed it. Being a breast cancer survivor and Yoga Therapist, it is important for my health to keep things clear and clean as well as free up my time to be able to focus on my clients and help keep them healthy. I could not have done it without her. She is a gem and if you have the opportunity to work with her I recommend you take it!

I had known Lori for a while when she started her organizing service. I asked for her assistance when we moved out of the home we had lived in for 10 years. We had so much stuff to get rid of and the job was overwhelming. She helped us pack and unpack which saved my valuable time and lessened my stress and anxiety. My new home is more serene because I got rid of items we did not use. And, thanks to Lori, I have more time to do things I enjoy because my home is organized. An example: Before Lori's help, I would waste a lot of time searching through my greeting card drawer looking for a certain category. Now, I go to the box she organized with categories separated by labeled tabs. So much quicker now! I am a confident, hard working woman but I just can't do it all. 

I think cleaning businesses should know about her company. It is one thing to clean and another thing to organize. Lori assisted me to sort out items I wasn't sure I wanted to keep.  She helped me create a pile of items I didn't want to keep and a pile of items I wasn't sure I wanted to keep. Occasionally, she would gently ask me to reassess the items I wasn't sure about and more items went into the donation pile. It was easier to purge with the help of someone that was respectful and kind. To my relief, she also took the items I didn't want to a donation center for me! While helping me pack, she placed “like items” together, wrapped them and packed them in boxes labeled very clearly.  Unpacking was so much easier - especially the kitchen which she helped me with as well. I have always needed to work hard to be organized. Working with Lori really reduced my anxiety level and helped me learn new organization skills that I can now use in her absence.
