“Linda provides an invaluable service that has impacted my ability to enjoy my house, as well as my work space. I have been become more efficient, and have a better sense of well-being because of her efforts. Its not just organization: Its Linda’s non-judgmental, goal-oriented, and warm manner that facilitate her magic. I am thrilled that someone like Linda is available and hope to use her services for many years to come.”
“When I was sharing with a friend my anxiety and distress at having to figure out what to do with 15 years of accumulated things in my soon-to-be-fixed-up basement, she suggested I call Altogether Organized. Being inherently frugal by nature, the thought of spending money to do something that I should be able to do did not make me happy. But clearly, if I were able to do it well, I wouldn’t have had a cluttered basement that was overwhelming me! It has proven to be the BEST call I’ve made in years! Linda Goldman, the owner, came to my home, calmly assessed the area and for the next three hours we sorted through antiques, bagged future donations, boxed papers that needed shredding and finally, carried out garbage bags full of what needed to have been tossed years ago. We were quick, focused and incredible productive. I was so pleased I brought my friends in to admire our work! It was such an amazing time/money investment that I have had Linda come two more times to help with other problem areas – my kitchen and home office. I can now say (with conviction!) that I have eliminated the clutter in my home, and established a much better organizing system going forward. Linda was professional, patient, warm and encouraging every step of the way and I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of her expertise.”
“The whole experience was terrific, from my first contact to the home visits. I had many areas in my home I wanted to tackle, but the consultants helped me to prioritize which areas would make the most difference in how I felt in my house. We started with the bedroom and our study, which were both disaster areas. Now, after two sessions, we’ve made the shift from being basically disorganized in those rooms and feeling despair, to having systems in place that make it a pleasure to keep neat and tidy. It has really changed how we live day to day, and made our house a much more welcoming place. We can now leave our bedroom doors open when company is over!”
“Linda has been so important to our family, helping us make room for our new baby girl. While pregnant she recalibrated the layout of our Chicago apartment to create space for the nursery and also reorganized places like our kitchen and living areas to accommodate baby equipment, bottles, and everything else she needs. Babies come with so much stuff! Since having our baby she has truly helped to simplify our chaotic life! It feels so good to purge and reorganize and make room for the new person living here. A session with Linda is like having a physical trainer, therapist, and interior decorator all at once!!”
“Thank you so much for your help! I cannot express the relief I have felt since you dug in and found that new room for me. To be rid of the piles and clutter feels like such a weight has been lifted. I look forward to our continued work!”
“Linda is amazing. Over the past few years, she has helped me with various projects in my ongoing desire to become more organized. She is incredibly easy and fun to work with. She is genuinely engaged in the process—she LOVES helping people get organized—and she is warm and friendly. Linda has a clear sense of what can and cannot be accomplished in a 3-hour time frame. She gets started right away and is incredibly efficient while balancing sensitivity to the emotional work of decluttering/ organization and moving forward to create a more harmonious environment. The true test of her work for me has been my ability to maintain a lot of the way she has helped my organize my newly renovated kitchen, my den, and my common room workspace. Linda’s service is definitely worth it. I would say that I’d hire her again, but I already have.”
“Your help has been awesome so I have been bragging about you to everyone I know. In a very short time, it is fair to say that you have transformed not only my office but my household. I feel less stressed, and my ability to better manage tasks and appointments means less stress for my loved ones too. I still have more to do, but now I’m looking forward to working on the office and other organization projects, rather than just feeling overwhelmed. It really helps to have someone as knowledgeable, professional and fun to work with as you. Thanks a million!”
“I am happily working in my beautiful, inspirational office and am so thankful to you. Because of your time, I found the papers needed to close out my dad’s estate, used my computer to bookmark some sites on my computer that I would have otherwise clipped from magazines, and feel inner peace!! I am excited to continue our work! Thank you again.”
“I didn’t think I needed a professional organizer when I was packing my house to move cross country. I thought I should be able to tackle the job myself. I am so happy I quickly discovered how Linda made an otherwise completely daunting and overwhelming task so much fun. She not only helped me organize my house to show and sell, but taught me life skills that I will continue to use for a long time to come. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone that wants to experience the sheer joy and calm that comes over you when your surroundings are organized and you are able to quickly find what you need”.
“I love the sense of calm I feel once Linda Goldman of Altogether Organized has worked her magic on a room. Superfluous papers and items are gone, and the space is orderly and attractive. Linda has transformed many rooms in my house. As a result, cleaning up and straightening is a breeze, every object has a place, and I can find things immediately. Thank you so much, Linda, for adding serenity where there was once the stress of clutter! And I no longer waste time searching.”
“Linda is just so good at seeing how to take a space apart and puzzling the way to put it back together. She is impeccably professional, unerringly kind, buoyantly positive, and simply excellent at what she does. I always look forward to seeing her and working with her, and I know when she leaves I will feel good about the progress we’ve made on whatever project we’re tackling. I feel one of her best qualities is her gentle but firm guidance on how to follow up after the appointment is over so that the work that we’ve done together is maximized. She is an empathetic, wonderful person and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to tackle some organizational projects. My husband is a huge fan as well and has worked with her on some of his own organization projects. It’s refreshing to meet someone who is so good at what she does and so obviously enjoys it.”
“You did such a wonderful job of helping me make the transition of leaving my home to pursue my future, I will forever be grateful for your gentle ways and strong guidance.”
