Denise- the Minimizer helped me declutter my basement, garage, and kitchen. After years of neglect, it finally reached a point that a friend said, " it's Okay to ask for help!" Denise was prompt, organized, efficient, and very hard-working in my home. In just nine days, we worked together sorting and planning for an end point. Denise has a vision of how things could possibly look 3 to 4 steps beyond what I could see. I now call my basement a hotel room. It looks amazing. I even have my own workout room! My garage is organized and feels more open. My kitchen is tidy, including the cupboards and organized to perfection. My mind is more focussed with all the organization of these finished rooms. I am proud of the areas done in my house! Next is the dining room, living room and bedrooms. Can't wait to see Denise's magical outcomes in these rooms. Thank you, Denise, for making my house feel like a home. The faces of amazement of my family and friends says so much of how hard we worked to declutter and organize. I love to have people over to my house now. Keep up with your high standards Denise

"I just wanted to drop you a note sharing with you how wonderful it was to have a couple of friends drop by unexpectedly. I was proud and not the least bit embarrassed to welcome them in my home. I am also able to share that I am able to keep everything clean and tidy. It's so much easier to have surfaces that I can wipe cleanly unimpeded. I'm not 100% yet but, I'm started to feel better."

"I am so impressed with this service. Its proprietor, Denise, works with individuals and families to organize and maintain personal living spaces. She has the unique talent to work with people who have difficulty when it comes to de-cluttering and minimizing. Through counselling, collaboration, prioritization, and simply by re-imagining spaces, Denise achieves great and lasting results with people. I have seen first hand how the results of her work bring a world of difference, and I would recommend her to anyone who may need help in this area."

"Denise thank you so much for getting me on track! It was the first step in starting to balance my life. It's so easy to lose track of time when you love your work (especially when working from home and you're single). The problem with me is that losing track of time equals a trashed place; which would hardly bother me since I'd be in front of the computer the majority of the time. However, I never anticipated the sigh of relief and excitement at the vision of a clean and organised space...I had normalised chaos."

Denise was able to help us work through this without causing Stress. She has a compassionate way of working through things without making it Overwhelming. We are absolutely very pleased with our final results! We now have an organized home that makes us happy! "

"Denise under-promised and over-delivered. Stephen and I highly recommend her as a creative individual that will take the extra mile to keep her clients happy. Thank you Denise for helping us in the sale of our home!"

"Denise helped us paint several rooms before we sold our house. She did a great job - she was organized, reliable and efficient. And the price was very reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again!"
