What is “virtual organizing” and how does it work?

Someone asked me that recently, after hearing that I have clients in other states who started with virtual sessions. It’s a great way to kickstart an organizing project, or to get guidance if you can’t have an organizer in your home (for whatever reason). Just like an in-person session, a virtual session provides 1:1 assistance via technology such as Zoom or FaceTime; the client shows me their space and we discuss their goals for decluttering, organizing, and restoring order.

With virtual organizing, clients get the same coaching, guidance, and support of a side-by-side session. The main difference is that I cannot help move items in the space. Virtual organizing works well when the client is motivated to do the physical work, but they need direction and expertise. Often I do research on donation outlets for unwanted items. Just as with in-person sessions, virtual sessions provide an important layer of accountability. My mission is to help the client reach their goals faster, so that they can reclaim and find more joy in their space. Here’s testimony from my first virtual client: “Stephanie helped me shift from feeling overwhelmed and daunted to being excited and making tangible progress in improving my delight in my home. Stephanie’s questions, expertise and steady companioning have enabled me to identify resources, make significant progress, and enjoy visible results rather than remaining stuck and discouraged.” Interested in exploring this option?
