What Clients Are Saying About Working with me!
 "As owner of a PR business, my home office was getting interference from my personal life and my storage and filing systems were cluttered. With Ariane's help, I was able to transform my office into a neat, non-stressful place where I can now concentrate. Her storage solutions and methods were easy to implement. In fact, I am keeping up with everything that comes in and goes out. Once you learn, it's quite easy."
- Maureen Murray
Morris Plains, NJ
Ellen Shapiro, Prosperity Coach, and Repatterning Practitioner called me in 2007 to help her make her home office into a haven where she could meet with clients. We transformed her life in just two days! She experienced a dramatic improvement in her organizing self-confidence and in her ability to let go to clutter. Since then I have worked with her to coach me, plus we have worked together on teleclasses, led a coaching group together, and now she is a treasured friend and participant and contributor to the Getting Unstuck Coaching Group!

"I've worked with organizers in the past, but Ariane is different. She doesn't impose a one-size-fits-all organizational stategy, but develops one tailored to who you are and how you work. Ariane is not only interested in getting you organized, but in making sure that she leaves you with a system that helps you to stay organized. With her help, I'm more productive than I've been in years!"
- R. D. Photographer, Mom
W. hired me to coach her through her ADD-related procrastination and perfectionism issues which had left her feeling like it was impossible for her to get organized unless someone did it for her. With me as her "Virtual Organizing and ADHD Coach" she gained new skills, new ways of seeing things, and got support every step of the way help her stay on track and break out of the thinking patterns than got her stuck. She not only achieved her goal, she created a haven out of a spare room which had been rendered completely unusable while she was grieving her divorce and other losses. The room at become a dumping ground for bad memories and now it was her sacred space. She saved thousands of dollars over the coast of having in-home help and gained the confidence that she COULD do it herself! Here's an audio clip from my final coaching session with W.

Ariane was a dream to work with when building my web site. Not only was she fast and creative, but she made any changes I wanted. My previous website had been up for 10 years and had never been even listed on Google. It took her only one day to redesign my site and get it up and running and looking professional and exceptional! I get a lot of compliments on my site. I got listed on Google within a couple days and within just a few months, I was getting lots more traffic and clients. I even started getting requests from the press to do interviews for the first time ever! I actually got a spread in a local newspaper featuring my business - all because they found my website and liked it! Thanks Ariane you are the best!
Liz Maffucci,
The Clutter Warrior
In 2007, I worked with a client to free her garage from 30 years of hoarding clothing and clutter that left it unusable and nearly destroyed her life. Coaching with me helped her stop her addictive and compulsive shopping and let go of thousands of items. Her children and 1-800-got-junk provided the labor, I provided the plan, and worked with her side by side to provide emotional support to help her make the tough decisions and ease her into letting go. I then helped her redesign her garage and provide plenty of inexpensive storage for the large amount of clothing she wasn't ready to let go of. However, she was able to park her car in the garage for the first time in many years. Here's what she had to say a week after...
