Fontaine Organizing
Helping clients enhance their lives through organization, elimination of excess, and personal and professional goal achievement.
Here are some questions that clients frequently have. If you have a question that isn't here, contact us and we’ll be happy to answer.
What can I expect during organizing sessions?
We'll start by assessing where you are and determining what is working for you, what's not working, and your goals and vision for your home or office. Together, we will work to create a plan of action. Then, we get to work!
Do you work with people who hoard?
Our clients include individuals who are struggling with situational disorganization or chronic disorganization, including clients who hoard.
How long will my project take?
While it's sometimes possible to give general estimations, the short answer to this question is "it depends". Each client is different, and each space is different. The length of an organizing project will depend on how quickly you are able to make decisions, the contents of the space, whether family members are involved, and whether other priorities come up during the project. During the initial consultation, we can provide rough estimates based on what you decide are the areas you want to work on.
Are other people this disorganized? Is this the worst you've ever seen?
Disorganization is extremely common, but people don't like to talk about it. Since everyone is different, it's impossible to say that one situation is "worse" than another. When we work together the only comparison will be between how it was, how it is, and how it will be. It's not helpful to compare your level of organization to the organization of others so we won't do it, and we encourage you to not do it either.
Why should I hire an organizer?
You could compare our services to those of an accountant, hairdresser, or doctor. Surely there are many services that you pay others to do because you do not have the skills or experience to do them yourself. Organizers are trained professionals with the expertise to help you reach your goals. Although, unlike accountants, hairdressers, or doctors, we work to teach you the skills to use on your own in the future.
What is coaching?
Coaching is a partnership between us which creates a process that inspires you to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the development of personal and/or professional goals and to develop and carry out a plan for achieving those goals.
It's a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of the your life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education, and recreation.
How much will it cost?
Cost varies depending on the type of service and scope of the project. Sessions can be booked one at a time or packages can be purchased for savings of up to 20%. Contact us to learn more.
I'd like to take advantage of a package but want to test the waters first. Can I purchase a package at any time?
Absolutely! You can start out by scheduling one session at a time and may purchase a package at any time.
Is this confidential?
We take confidentiality seriously. Identifying information about you, or our work, will not be disclosed unless required by law or we are given express permission by you.
