  • "After going through every box in the house, I saved myself $8,500 in taxes and found 2 checks worth $3,500 that had not been cashed.  No wonder I am so motivated to keep this up!  I am confident that my organizational relief project will enable me to do more business, be more efficient with my client files, and reduce the stress this career tends to put on my family life....

  • "If you can find 15 minutes extra each day - what would it be worth to you?  I have always considered myself pretty organized, so I was impressed with the ideas that Laura was able to show me that saved me the time each day.  Even just saving 20 minutes a day is a big deal.  That is enough time for me to connect with a new client or spend time with my daughters."...

Erin's Delighted Clients

"In a word, Erin is 'fantastic.'  In four 4-hour sessions, she helped me go through and box up almost everything that was stacked up in my kitchen, dining room, office and bonus room.  Erin arrived promptly.  We went over what I wanted to accomplish that day, then we got to work.  She was focused, calm, non-judgmental and tireless.  She faced very dirty circumstances and didn't bat an eyelash.  She never once caused me a moment of anxiety; the relief that I felt when we were done was amazing.  I would hire Eliminate Chaos again in a heartbeat, but right now I'm too busy enjoying all the free space in my house!"

"I've had two sessions with Erin so far and she is amazing.  Her confident and calm nature helps me fight back my overwhelming urge to run out of the room and not face the mess.  She breaks down a problem and makes it easy to figure out the solution.  Her suggestions are very smart and make sense for the situation.  I've already recommended her to all of my friends and as soon as they see the before and after pictures of my basement entertainment room, they will be lining up to work with her.  I only have two more sessions lined up with Erin before my son's birthday party, but we will definitely be having her back to help us with the rest of our house."

"Erin is a dream come true!  Her kindness and gentle manner are exactly what I need.  We're two rooms nearly complete, on to the kitchen, pantry and dining room.  BIG jobs, that I have complete faith in her to help me take on.  I'm working on my action items, with my husband on board 100%.  Again, Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

"I wanted you to know that your organizing expertise is perfect for educators like me who feel overwhelmed with so much to do!  Your three specialists, Erin, Christine and Tina all came in and streamlined my classroom to perfection!  It is warm and inviting with materials easy at hand yet is also efficient, functional and easy to maintain all because it is systematic.  I now have a process that instills how and why it has been created yet simple enough to use and keep it functioning within set time limits rather than a feeling of an endless list of things to do!  Thank you for creating more time for the energy needed to work with young children with an answer to fostering my own self worth as well!"
