Greetings!

We are very pleased  to welcome you to an expanded Breathing Space!

In 1996 when I founded  “Breathing Space: Home Organizing As You Wish”,  most people had not even heard of professional organizers. “What’s that – a political job?”   In all of Vermont there were three members of the National Association of Professional Organizers.   We met once a month in Rutland.  I also drove to Boston each month to attendthe  meetings and trainings there .   There wasn’t any reality  TV  about people  having organizers help them.   At Smith College,  Professor Randy Frost was in the early stages of  research on hoarding as a serious emotional problem.

Fourteen years later, as you know,  TONS  has changed.  I am thrilled to now be teaming up with a colleague who brings  her own unique skills, enthusiasm and business saavy.   As you can well imagine, I’ve clocked hundreds (probably thousands)  of organizing hours over the years.  It’s been an amazing opportunity to  help and learn while doing what delights me  and I’mvery excited about the additional services Sue and I will be able to provide as a duo.

Also, with Sue on board,  I can move forward on my dream of working some of the time from my Dad’s home and  family place in RI.   Dad’s just turned 93 and this will make it possible for me to be with him more while helping clients in the Ocean State.   Sue and I have already taken on some big jobs together and, Sue, operating out of  Saxtons River, plans to provide  services northward.  So there it is — more Breathing Space for everyone!   Hurrah!

If you want to read about our individual paths you are most welcome to do so ( or not) as you wish!!!
