Debbie from Setauket

We all lead such hectic stressful lives -- Fortunately Cynthia you were there to help us take a deep breath, sort through the chaos, and spend more meaningful time with those who mean the most to us. I know I'll be calling next to help out with a scrapbook for my daughter's adoption story next.  THANK YOU for all the wonderful things you did for me and my family!

Stamatia from Huntington

It was great meeting and working with you on Friday. I can't tell you how unburdened I feel. I am really looking forward to getting the whole house in order, truly it has kept me awake a few nights just thinking of all of the rest I would like to accomplish to truly free myself. I continued on after you left and over the weekend, put the bank statements in order and filed, went through the magazines (got rid of a ton but still have a second round to go on the magazines). I found more bags (filled with paper) in the master bedroom closet, still have to sort through those. I purchased all of the supplies we discussed at BB&B. I also purchased an interim file caddy (on wheels) from Staples to hold our files until I can find the right fie cabinet. Thanks again for all your help. That was truly the best investment I have made in a very long time. I really appreciate it. Thanks again.

Alisa from Great Neck

A dusty shoebox filled with audiocassettes that I haven’t listened to for over 15 years. Should I toss them? But I paid money for them…Tony Bennett is a great singer…these are good cassettes…they still work…

On my own I would keep them. Cynthia gently questions me about them. Have you listened to any of these cassettes recently? Would you listen to them? Did you even know that they were here, that you still had them, that you ever had them? Again gently and patiently Cynthia waits for my response. I touch them; I look at the titles, my insides churning. These are good cassettes, I could use them, give them to someone…but no one uses audiocassettes anymore. A few deep breaths and I am ready to let them go.

Hey, I was organized about these cassettes. They were all together in one box. That’s about as far as I ever got on my own. Cynthia and I have found lots of dusty labeled boxes of various sizes and shapes, all labeled, all meaningless because they were floating in a house of clutter and disorganization.

Cynthia has guided me through the mess and helped me find things that do have value and meaning for me today. Then she helped organize them in a way that makes sense and so that I can easily locate them when I want them. Now I can wear any of the earrings I love because she helped me find put the two earrings in each pair together and logically place them in my jewelry box.
Thanks to Cynthia so much of the struggle and frustration is gone from my daily life. Cynthia is a consummate professional. She knows the business of organizing inside out. She understands how a home functions best. She takes note of what is important to me and helps me organize my own particular stuff. She also knows so much about what products are available to make the systems she helps me set up work.

Cynthia is professional but at the same time she is warm and personable. She understands what I am going through and she is responsive to my needs. She questions some of my decisions but then lets it go and says, "Why don’t you give yourself a few minutes to think about it?" Let’s put the typewriter you forgot you had and haven’t used in over thirty years on the desk and we can come back to it later. My panic dies down. I don’t have to part with the typewriter I took to college in 1967. A half hour later I am ready to realize that I don’t need to hold onto it anymore. If there should be a major power failure and I can’t use my computer to write, and I have something I must write, well then I can use paper and pen!

Cynthia has unflagging energy and enthusiasm for the organizing task at hand. She stays focused and keeps me on task too.
As is evident from what I have written above, working with Cynthia has been a tremendous growth experience for me. It is a journey I could never ever have taken alone. Twenty-nine years of accumulation in my home plus so much that I took from my parents’ house is simply too much for me to handle alone, especially with my lack of organizational skills.

Now everything is so much easier for me at home. By removing all the unneeded clutter and organizing what I do need and want, my daily life is a pleasure. There is flow in everything I do. Hosting a dinner party used to be a tremendous drain and struggle for me, searching for the serving pieces, frantically rummaging through my spice cabinet for the right ingredients. Now it is like a graceful dance. I go to the spot where I know the things I need will be and take them out! This may sound like nothing to someone else but to me this is nothing short of a miracle.

A valuable part of the journey I’m taking is that Cynthia has not accomplished this without me. I have actively participated in all the decisions and as I tried out the new systems we set up together, especially in the kitchen, we have revisited and “tweaked” the things that I found out needed to be adjusted.

As we proceed together, I am becoming more discerning about what I want to keep in my home. It gets easier and easier for me.
I am very grateful to Cynthia for her organizing expertise, her professionalism, her integrity, and her kindness. I have the highest regard for her and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone who needs organizing and decluttering help in their home or business.

Linda from East Meadow

No words can describe what a beautiful job you did on the scrapbooks. I can't believe how great they look. The Professional book is just awesome. You did a fabulous job. I can tell the job was done with great feeling and care.

Cami from West Islip

Hiring Cynthia to organize my house was invaluable. It’s such a great feeling to have all the clutter gone and everything in its place, especially the clothes and toys. It’s been six months since she’s been here and everything is still organized. She not only organized the whole house, but she taught me how to keep up with it and how to organize new things that come into the house. I was just looking through before photos of my kitchen cabinets and bedroom and it was scary that I lived like that.   Never again, thanks to Cynthia!

Diana from Long Island

I had fun organizing everything! Certain things are definitely be much better organized and purged .You definitely taught me such important things that I will be able to use - thank you!

Lucy from StonyBrook

I'm loving the new and improved bedroom. Thanks again.

Jennifer from St. James

My mother is here this week you know and I am really pleased at how smoothly this week has been going .While she is here, my house is relatively in order and I am really not stressed. I owe that to you!!!

Donna from St James

In the short time you've worked with me, the organization skills you've taught me so far have helped me more than I can say. It gives me a wonderful feeling of accomplishment with what I've done in Craig's room on my own. Thank you!! I'm looking forward to seeing you Tuesday and organizing more of the upstairs.

Hiring Cynthia to organize my kids room closets and basement was the best decision I made. Cynthia is a wonderful and great person and she has taught me how to be more efficient and organized person. This has helped me in all aspects of my life. Thank you!

Christina from Old Brookville

Thank you very much for all of your help in staging and organizing my home for me. You were great to work with and the results were so liberating. Getting out from the clutter and mess that had accumulated over 11 years was wonderful. You quickly helped me get control of my life and return to order almost from the day we met. I now can find everything and my morning routine has been streamlined. I have more clothes than I realized and I even remember why I bought some of the stuff I had forgotten at the back of the closet.

Your assistance with the staging of the home was immediately recognized by the real estate agents who looked at the house. Some had seen it before your work and were amazed at how much additional space and how inviting the rooms were now that the clutter was gone. Your efforts should really help the house sell quickly.

Thank you again for all of your help and your friendship over the past year. I have been recommending everyone I know who needs some help organizing, decluttering and taking back their lives to give you a call. Everyone who sees the results is sold on your services.

I am sure we will have reason to work together soon. I think I am going to give my mother a gift of your services for Christmas it made such a difference for me I want to share the feeling.

Regards and many thanks.

Lynne from East Rockaway

I just wanted to thank you for such a beautiful job you did organizing my closet and my room!  You gave me so many helpful hints that I could actually hear your voice in my head when I was cleaning out my bathroom cabinets.  Thank you so much!  You really helped me get organized and I really appreciate it.  Now when I come home, I make sure everything goes in its right place.  Thanks again.

Sharon from Roslyn

Cynthia knew exactly what to do with all my pictures and stuff in the closets. She organized both my young sons' closets to make it easy for me to find the appropriate clothes for each size. She helped me establish a routine to switch out outgrown clothes and clothes to grow into, which was a huge load off my shoulders. She organized my kitchen and pantry so I can save time in setting up and cleaning up after meals. We also got our garage back. I can walk into it and FIND things now. It's amazing what organizing does to one's life. I also can look in my laundry room without dismay. She knew what to get to make it all come together! Cynthia really eliminated a whole lot of stress in my life and I could never thank her enough.
Thanks for doing this for me Cynthia, it really helped me out and it is everything I wanted to say. Thanks again for everything. I look forward to working together again in the future

Diana from Dix Hills

I have to admit that I saved so much from my parents over the years.  The items were always in my way in closets and in the garage. Cynthia made me realize that if I didn't part or store the stuff somewhere else I would not have enough room in my home for future items with my family.  I realized that as long as I knew I had the most precious and meaningful things from my deceased parents that I would be able to organize my present and future life stuff better.  I now have my closets basement and garage to use for my current lifestyle. We are enjoying our home more than ever.  I have no problem finding things which saves me so much time and reduced my stress tremendously. I would recommend her highly since she is so understanding.

Pat from Port Jefferson

Cynthia has literally changed my life. I was divorced and needed an overhaul. She came and she delivered what she promises. She thoroughly organized my whole entire house, room by room. She didn't miss a thing!. Afterwards she helped me pick paint colors for all the rooms and even hired the contractor. She also took me shopping and helped me pick out new furniture and gave rooms new functions. She used her design ability to take it to the next level. She hung pictures and did many other wonderful things that I would never think of. I never realized the full potential of my home. Now I love my home and can't get over the transformation!

Rebecca from Dix Hills, Age 14

My mother would always nag me about having a clean room, and I wanted to have one also but it seemed that every time I would clean it would just end up messy again. When Cynthia arrived she knew what she was doing she looked through my room and knew exactly what had to be done. I had so much "junk" that was useless that I just did not want to let go of, but she helped me realize that I really did not need it. By the end of her session with me, I was amazed by how much stuff I had gotten rid of. Her services were so helpful; I am able to keep my room clean because I know where everything is. It's a great feeling knowing everything is organized. Thank you so much Cynthia!

Brenda from Huntington

Cynthia is wonderful because she reassuringly helps you let go of things you thought you had to save.  Once they are gone, you never miss them.  She even convinced my husband to let go of some things he saved, and it was painless for him.

LJ from Lynbrook

Impossible...that's the word I would have used to describe the task that I saw before me with regard to organizing my house AND my life.  Day after day I lived with the word "impossible" (along with the mess) and it weighed me down so far that I almost forgot how to laugh.  I needed to begin to "clean slate" my life and my home, and I didn't have a clue as to how to do just that.  That's when I found my newest angel, Cynthia.  I actually cried as she spoke to me on the phone and assured me that I would see a big difference after her first visit.  Still somewhat of a disbeliever, but needing help, I said yes.  And thus began my road to a place I never thought I would reach with a neat and organized home--a home in which I now feel pride.  I cannot begin to thank Cynthia.  She made it easier than I thought possible and at times actually fun!  The results "knocked my socks off".  Thank you, Cynthia from the bottom of my heart

Suzi from Commack

I was very stuck and didn't know what to do until I met Cynthia. I thought she was going to leave within the first hour but instead she gave me the assurance that I can turn my life around. I have ADD and a sleep disorder and realized I had the inability to organize. She sympathized and understood my situation. She was easy to work with because of her patience and professionalism. We have come a long way. I have made tremendous strides because Cynthia believed in me. She was confident that this could happen. She showed me strategies that I never knew existed. I look forward to continued success in organizing for a better lifestyle.

Betty from Smithtown

I just wanted to let you know that since you came to my house last month, my life's paperwork has been moving along very smoothly.  When I first called you my dining room table was literally PILED HIGH with about three to four months' worth of mail.  Bills from utilities, magazines, Val-paks, PennySavers, school mail, etc.  I was so overwhelmed that I kept PILING IT UP.  When you were recommended to me, I didn't believe that anyone who was not familiar with my personal affairs would possibly be able to sort through all that STUFF.  In just a few hours I had it all under control, and following the system you gave me has made me so organized.  I will certainly recommend your service to my friends and colleagues who find this task as overwhelming as I do.  Thank you again for your professionalism, (and your patience.)

Randee from Mt Sinai

Thanks for doing such a fabulous job organizing our kitchen, pantry and laundry room.  I really thought  we had to build an addition to fit all of our stuff, but you showed us  how to eliminate clutter and make efficient use the space we have.   Six months later, everything is still in order.  My husband and I appreciate your hard work and would highly recommend your services.  When can you come back and do the garage

Cindy from Nesconset

Cynthia was amazing in my house.  My kitchen needed help desperately and I was too overwhelmed to do anything about it.  Within hours she had everything in its place and I was able to find all my kitchen utensils and gadgets.  I am now able to open the drawers again without having to search for things I need.  I can’t wait for her to start on my basement.

Pam from Setauket

I just have to say that you did such a fantastic job moving me out of my home and unpacking my belongings in my new home that it made the whole process stress free. I had so much stuff to pack that I was overwhelmed with baby and children items besides all my stuff that I had collected in 12 years of marriage.  Also before I moved it was terrific idea to have a garage sale to unload the stuff I did not need in my new home.  I will hire you in an instant  if I move again.

Gigi from Coram

I couldn't start my home business without your help.  After you organized my garage, I realized the space that I had to set up my business.  I couldn't have done it without you.  I wouldn't know where to begin to plan and figure out where everything should go.  You made it so easy and you took away the stress that I had.   Thank you so much.

Francesca from Middle Island

I just wanted to say thank you for helping me with my room. I LOVE IT!!! My mom is so happy and my family was in shock!! I ordered an all new bed set from Victoria Secret and I can not wait until it comes in. I just wanted to say thank you and how much I Love it!!

Robert from Great Neck, NY

I was very pleased with how thorough you are. Also the way you dive in and get your hands dirty. It was also great to spend the time chatting with you, I enjoyed that as well, and the time flew by. I have been walking around telling anyone who will listen to me how thrilled I am to be so organized. I think many of them think I’m off my rocker for being so excited over it, but it really feels like I have gained control of a whole area of my life that was so out of control!

By the way, I've created a nice filing system here at work, so things are already more organized here! . I remembered what we did at my home and I knew how to re-arrange my desk and files here! Very sweet!

Again, thank you for everything, I enjoyed the experience, and will certainly recommend you to anyone interested.

Pam from Commack

What could I say, I was so overwhelmed with the clutter that has accumulated over the 10 years I have lived in my home. Now my mother was coming to live with me and there was no place for her. A neat freak no doubt. So I e-mailed Cynthia to rescue me from this huge task. She came in like a storm and worked so fast and so hard, I couldn't believe what we accomplished. Even with friends help I was never able to make a dent! She knew what to buy and where to buy and how to get discounts on items. She never missed a spot in the rooms. She was so meticulous. She worked diligently and always had my best interest in mind. She has boundless energy and stamina, with an upbeat attitude. I could never imagine my home looking this way so I can enjoy having friends and family over again. Thank you, Cynthia

Catherine age 16 from Huntington

I am really enjoying my new organized room. I can find every thing better and I feel much more relaxed. I have gone on to organize my mom and my sister's closets using the tools and methods you gave me. thanks again!
 
Arnona from Forest Hills

Let me tell you how I have changed since you came to help me get rid of all the staff.
I stuck myself in that clutter like "glue".
You have opened my eyes Cynthia, and the glue has gone
I don't have to save everything anymore, as I copied my mother in childhood (in hard times)

It felt like Ex-Lax treatment for my cluttered apartment.
The Ex-Lax is still working.....
Not as fast but it keeps working........

I now became my own organizer, not 100% yet, but I see there is a big difference in my attitude.
It's a skill that I have learned and enjoy seeing the results.

Thanks again for everything.

Ted from Melville

I am enjoying my organized office. I will complete the task this weekend. A much needed break is necessary after our 12 hour session.
Thanks for all you've done. I've told my friends about you. Be well.
