My organizing philosophy:

I equate getting organized to losing weight.  You can read all the books published but for some people that is not enough.  They seek out Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig for help.  There are numerous organizing books on the market, but simply reading them will not create organization.  Many people require the assistance of a professional organizer to become more efficient.   

When I initially meet a client, I spend time learning his/her habits, challenges, and expectations.   From there I develop an individualized plan for each person.  Every client is treated with respect and dignity and everything that happens during our meetings is completely confidential.  I bring integrity and humor to every situation.   

Melissa is the Past President of the Washington, DC Metro chapter of NAPO as well as a certified professional organizer.
