Feeling at home in your space is so important.
It’s not just important – it’s vital.
For your health. Your peace. Your overall well-being.
Your home is a place where you should feel safe and comforted. A place that’s made to be your own – one that is not only calming to your nervous system and makes you feel at ease but one that’s functional and manageable.
But we understand how difficult this can be to attain, especially when you are neurodivergent, chronically disorganized, have ADHD, or exhibit hoarding behaviors.
That’s where a professional organizer comes in – their expertise goes beyond just tidying up; they bring a systematic approach to sorting through your belongings, and help you make decisions about what to keep, donate, or consciously discard.
But there’s a critical piece missing here…
The piece that bridges the gap between simply decluttering a space and transforming your life for the long haul.
Enter – the coaching aspect.
You see, at Livable Spaces, we believe (better yet we know) that on-site organizing coupled with our SHiFTⓇ Method coaching is what leads to the greatest success of achieving livable spaces – one cannot work without the other!
We know this because we’ve seen it – and the transformations made are life-changing.

On-site Professional Organizing + SHiFT® Method Coaching – Why This Approach Works
Having an on-site professional organizer coupled with coaching is key – and both components are absolutely necessary for the best possible outcome.
Why?
Because without both, you cannot reach sustainable change.
Think about it like this: any problem you come across in life has two primary components that lead to a resolution:
1. A bandaid or temporary fix, and 2. A solution.
If you simply band-aid things up, it may help for the present moment, but a solution that gets to the root of what caused the problem in the first place must be found to ensure that the problem does not resurface.
The process of decluttering and organizing is like the bandaid – it leads to a temporary resolution of your disorganized space, but coaching is the solution that helps get to the root of the things under the surface – the things that empower you to make lasting change.
Coaching also takes the overwhelm out of the equation and helps set the groundwork for fostering change not only in your living space but in you as an individual and in all facets of your life.
At Livable Spaces, one of our trained on-site organizers handles the physical organizing, and I (Jen) do the one-hour coaching sessions from a video platform, like Zoom. This is where we dive into the power of the SHiFTⓇ Method.

The SHiFT® Method: A Comprehensive Framework
The SHiFT® Method is a comprehensive organizing approach that focuses on five key areas:
Social, Health, “I am deserving,” Financial, and Time.
Let’s take a look at how incorporating the SHiFT® method during coaching sessions can strengthen and enhance your day-to-day functioning, and ultimately lead to long-term success.
Social
We help you create spaces that facilitate positive social interactions. This might include organizing communal areas or setting up systems to manage social commitments. In other words – we help create spaces that bring you closer to those who are important to you and help foster stronger connections – a critical aspect to your overall well-being.
Health
A clutter-free environment can significantly improve your physical and mental health. Coaching sessions will focus on maintaining these healthy spaces and establishing routines that promote well-being.
i am deserving
This aspect is about recognizing your worth and creating spaces that reflect your value. We work on building self-compassion and ensuring your environment supports your self-esteem.
Financial
Disorganization can lead to financial stress. We’ll implement systems to keep your financial documents in order, making it easier to manage bills, expenses, and savings.
Time
Effective time management is crucial for maintaining an organized space. Through coaching, we’ll work to develop strategies that manage your time better, ensuring you can keep your environment tidy and functional for the long haul.

The Benefits Of On-Site Professional Organizing Coupled With SHiFTⓇ Method Coaching
We’ve discussed the premise behind coupling on-site personal organizing with our SHiFTⓇ Method Coaching and why it’s important – now let’s dive into the details!
There are a myriad of benefits to explore.
1. Personalized assessment and tailored solutions
A great advantage of having an on-site session with a professional organizer is the ability to receive a personalized assessment of your space. This allows us to understand your unique challenges and needs.
During these sessions, we work together to:
- Identify clutter hotspots
- Develop customized organizing strategies
- Implement practical solutions tailored to your lifestyle
By coupling this with coaching sessions, we can delve deeper into the underlying habits and thought processes that contribute to disorganization.
This holistic approach ensures that the changes we make are not only practical but also sustainable – something you can stick to!
2. Hands-On Guidance and Immediate Results
On-site sessions provide immediate, hands-on assistance. We work side by side to sort, declutter, and organize your space – which means you see tangible results right away. This immediate transformation can enhance intrinsic motivation (the kind that gets results!) and provide a clear vision of what a functional, organized space can look like.
Coaching enhances this process by helping you understand and maintain these changes long-term. Through regular coaching sessions, we reinforce the strategies implemented during the on-site visit and address any emerging challenges, ensuring long-term success.
3. Building Lasting Habits
While an on-site session can transform your space, coaching ensures that these changes last. Together, we work on building new habits and routines that fit seamlessly into your daily life. This ongoing support helps you stay on track, make adjustments as needed, and continually improve your living space.
4. Emotional and Mental Support
Disorganization often comes with emotional and mental challenges. You should never have to overcome these things on your own. Coaching provides a safe space to explore these issues and develop coping strategies. This emotional support is crucial to lasting change and overcoming any setbacks along the way.

Livable Spaces Is Committed To Making Real Change In Your Life
It’s abundantly clear – combining on-site organizing sessions with personalized SHiFT® Method coaching sets the stage for real change.
It offers a comprehensive solution for creating and maintaining livable spaces, and addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of disorganization, providing you with the tools and support needed for long-term success.
By working together, we can transform your space into a functional, calming, and restful environment that enhances your day-to-day life and overall well-being.
We are committed to providing you with the most successful outcome possible – let’s embark on this journey together and make the SHiFT® towards a more organized and fulfilling life.
A life you are so deserving of.
