Lisa decided to make organizing her vocation after losing four family members on different occasions. Her calm, leadership and logic during these times of crisis inspired her to help others. Lisa delights in seeing the tremendously positive impact that organizing has made on her clients. She says, "I feel like I'm a detective, therapist and archaeologist rolled into one. It is incredibly gratifying. I can see a shift in my clients by the end of our first session. Some of them start out looking so defeated, and when we’re done, they’re smiling and revitalized, even if they’re tired. The results are immediate and tangible, and the thanks and hugs are the best part of the job. I'm determined to help people reclaim control of their space and rediscover themselves in the process."

Lisa believes that organizing is a skill that anyone can learn if they’re open to change.
