professional organizer
bringing function & calm TO your home, office & life

Having clutter and chaos in your physical environment can lead you to feel stressed, overwhelmed, self-critical, or even embarrassed. It robs you of time, money, focus, and emotional well-being. It doesn’t need to stay this way! Figuring out your why for wanting things to change is the first step in getting your space, and your life, organized.

 

why do you want to get organized?

  • I just want my life to be simpler, less cluttered, and more beautiful.

  • It takes me forever to find things.

  • There are piles of things on my counters because nothing has a home.

  • My closets and storage room are filled with stuff. It feels too overwhelming.

  • I have no systems in place to manage all of the papers that come into my home.

  • I keep buying the same things over again because I don’t know what I have.

  • We moved into our new home a while ago and there are still unpacked boxes and bins. I don’t know where to put it all. I don’t feel at home.

  • I’ve accumulated so much in my home over the years. I know I need to declutter but don’t know where to start. I don’t want this task left to my kids when I’m gone.

  • cluttered clothing closet
  • messy office
  • cluttered play and craft storage area
  • untidy kitchen
  • home with unpacked boxes

Client Testimonials

  • “Move over Marie Kondo! Corrie brings efficiency, simplicity and energy to tackle clutter and dysfunction. We were overwhelmed by stuff after some health issues then 2 babies close together. Corrie swooped in and alleviated our overwhelm after the first session. It's not just about dealing with what you have now, she teaches you the way to less clutter and mess for life! She is thoughtful and charismatic along the way which made the process smooth as well as productive. The results will last!”

    — busy mom, Hamilton

  • “After launching our business during Covid, moving house, having two kids and just generally living busy lives, we realized the office did not get the attention it deserved. My husband works in there full time and it somehow became the dumping ground for things without a home and a place to put things when guests came over. Enter Corrie! She took the time to understand and listen to both of our needs and get a feel for what we wanted out of the space at the end. The best part about Corrie and why I would absolutely recommend her is that she left no stone unturned. If we had tried to tackle this ourselves we without a doubt would have created "sort for later" folders and boxes. We're 6 weeks past our final session with her where we put it all together and the desk is clear, the receipts are in the right place and I just moved all of my son's handmade cards from his birthday from the fridge to his own folder, while making coffee! That is how easy she has made it for us to put things in the right place.”

  • “Corrie was absolutely amazing to work with! She spent the time clearly going over how the process would work and what to expect. She was able to get a lot done while I was at work and the parts we did together were fun. She helped me overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed by my stuff and now my basement feels like a space I can enjoy. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and I will definitely hire her again for my next project.”

    — busy mom, Hamilton

  • “I was lucky to find Corrie and One Space at a Time when I wanted to make changes to my living environment. From the start, Corrie understood my goals and needs as an independent senior, and throughout the process she guided me (and did the physical work) with great respect to my style and habits. Thanks to her help and recommendations, I now enjoy a leaner, safer and easier-to-maintain apartment, leaving me more time and energy to enjoy my favourite activities, hobbies and socializing with friends - a dream finally come true. I only wish I had contacted her sooner.”

  • “After moving into a new home, we hired One Space at Time to help us organize our kitchen, entryway and closets. We were blown away with the results! Corrie took the time to really understand our needs and priorities, as well as how our family functions on a day-to-day basis. As a result, she created a plan that uniquely made sense for us; she grouped items based on who uses them and how, designated different areas for like items, and even incorporated systems that have encouraged our young children’s independence! In turn, we have been able to maintain the impeccably organized state in which she left our house. On a personal note, Corrie is kind, patient and extremely skilled at making an ordinarily overwhelming process seem not only manageable, but enjoyable! We couldn’t be happier with her service and will definitely hire her again!”

    — busy mom, GTA

  • “[My daughter] has definitely taken an interest in the labels and systems in general. The best is that she started to find things and make use of things that were previously hidden in the mess.”

    — busy mom, GTA

  • "We were looking for an organized way to store all the kids arts/crafts that made it easy for them to grab and put away on their own, and also made it look nice for when we hosted company in the dining room. Corrie was amazing in her ability to suggest many options that would work and help us decide which one would work best for us using different furniture that we already had.

    On the organizing day she was SO efficient and fast at sorting things and had a whole step by step process to getting everything to it's new home. It was amazing! We would definitely use her again for any project big or small that may come up. It is worth every penny and we're so happy with the results."
