Professional organizers focus on the material ways that we can structure our environments to allow us to live life to the fullest.  This means something different for every person, so the services that Nora provides and the method that she uses are different for everyone.  Each person has a different set of needs and priorities, skills, preferences, and dreams.  Nora works together with each client to determine what these are and makes these their goals.  These goals are the driving force behind everything they do together.

Hi, I’m Jessica Dolan and I am an anal retentive, neat freak. Oh, wait a second, this isn't my OA (Organizers Anonymous) introduction. I will admit that I'm "one of those people". "One of those" who is on time for appointments, knows where items are located, can place my fingers on a file in 5 seconds flat, and has time every single day to do just what I want...and not feel guilty while I'm doing it! I AM a Professional Organizer....or rather a Bringer of Order!

I really love what I do and know that I can make enormous changes in people's lives, homes and offices. Would you really want to work with someone who is sort-of organized, mostly on time or has a general idea of where an item is located? I don't think so! Trust me, you want the anal retentive, neat freak and that's exactly who I am!
