TESTIMONIALS
Carolyn, Texas
Little did I know when I began my journey of working with Leigh Ann that what began as the dreaded dive into decluttering would resonate as an adventure of emotional release, prioritization of my priorities, and a priceless sense of freedom! The concepts of “disowning”, “owning” and “possessionality” that she shared in her book gave me such a new understanding of why I have the things I have and how to take responsibility for future things that I decide to bring into my life.
Surprisingly, after starting to work with Leigh Ann, ideas would constantly pop into my mind about how to declutter or rearrange things in other areas we were not even working on. There was an energy that motivated me to keep moving forward with the intention of achieving my dream of a completely organized home that reflected the priorities that matter most to me at this stage in my life. Beyond any doubt, that energy resulted from having Leigh Ann as a very gentle accountability partner, coach, and cheerleader on our journey!
I so appreciated that she worked with my personality to design solutions that fit me and that would allow me to maintain success in the future. She also has an uncanny ability to rearrange furniture and repurpose items in new ways that provided solutions without incurring extra expenses. As I consider ALL that we accomplished together, I am absolutely amazed at the “before” and “after” pictures of my home!
All the “inner” work Leigh Ann has done and her “outer” professional experiences are being brought together congruently to help so many others in ways they can’t even imagine! May you be one of the fortunate ones who can benefit from her expertise, her support, and her enthusiasm!

Dear Leigh Ann,
I don’t know how to express what you’ve done for me. First, there’s this clutter and disorganization, the amount of time it’s been here, the heaviness of how overwhelming it’s been, and my inability to make sense of it.
Then there’s the effect it’s had on me: everywhere I look, there’s something that represents what a slob I am, my failures, my inability to just function as a normal person… and then there’s the thoughts and reminders that proceed from that, which are about the trauma that preceded so much of this, that paralyzes me and makes it foggy for me. And then I think no, it’s the executive function challenges from my ADHD. And I get into analysis paralysis about it.
But overall, it has been this behemoth that surrounds me, even more so from working from home and living inside it constantly, this behemoth that reminds me what of these challenges, dozens — hundreds, maybe? — of times a day.
I am so grateful for you, for your help, for the light you’re shining for me, for being the body double, executive functioner.
This morning I am doing a few things and looking around, thinking of the next steps, and I am happy. Happy! I feel a lightness that I haven’t felt in so long that I can’t remember when it was. It has been an exceedingly tough year, two years….yet you’re building a way out of this for me, a tunnel I can crawl out of, or maybe toward some foundation I can build on.
Is it hyperbolic to say you’re saving my life? Probably. But is it true? Also probably.
Thank you so much for allowing me to start the new year in a pinhole of light!

Working with Leigh Ann has given me a new lease on life!
The last few years of my life were a constant struggle: breaking my back, filing bankruptcy, trying to manage my autoimmune illness, losing a parent, and teaching during a pandemic. I was tired, depressed, and self-loathing, and I was not able to maintain any order, cleanliness, or a positive mindset. I was drowning and needed professional help. I knew my mental health needed it.
Leigh Ann made me feel comfortable and was warm, down-to-earth, caring, and confident; she knew how to help. She hopped on a place at a few days’ notice and made me a priority just days before I had to start back teaching.
Over three long days, Leigh combed through the piles, teaching me how to sort, consolidate, organize, donate, and sell, all while stressing positivity, nonjudgment, and believing in myself again. The task was hard work, but Leigh’s attitude, fun personality, and drive kept me going. We laughed when I wanted to cry, and I could feel the healing happening!
We accomplished everything I wanted and more. Tomorrow, I start work, and I have never felt more put together than now. Hiring Leigh Ann was worth every penny, and I wish I had
invested in my mental health earlier. As a mom, friend, and teacher, I always take care of everyone else before myself. Leigh Ann took care of me. The organizational skills and tools she taught me made me better moving forward. If you need help, budget it and hire her to get your life back on track!

Before Leigh Ann arrived at my house, I felt a mix of dread and excitement. I revealed to her my den, a junk room that became a dumping ground for unfinished projects and procrastination, which made me feel worse every day.
We briefly discussed my dream for this space to be a special place for me to relax, be creative, and be surrounded by some of my favorite family photos and personal items. We started by sorting and discussing what would stay and got to work!
We sorted, decluttered, and donated stuff. Leigh switched out furniture, hung photos, organized, and offered the support I needed to let go of a table my late father had given me. After just 2 short days, she transformed my den of doom into a cozy room of hope!
This experience has given me back my space and time. All my papers and supplies are in one place, so I am not searching all over the house. That in itself is life-changing! I can’t wait to have her back to tackle more rooms in my house.
Getting rid of things is not quite as hard now. Recently, I debated whether to keep a pair of pants and asked myself what Leigh Ann would say? She would say give away, so I did! True story!
