Founded in 2008, Cut the Clutter seeks to help those who don't know how or who are otherwise unable to get organized. And, yes, this means getting rid of the clutter, aka all the junk you've been hording in that linen closet, bureau, and/or kitchen drawer. Because one person's clutter is another person's cherished treasure, Cut the Clutter's organizers determine how best to reconfigure the space, allowing you to keep what you love and say goodbye to the rest. Best of all, you'll get a system you can live with, so the clutter stays gone for good.
Nancy Heller, of Goodbye Clutter, is a CPO, or certified professional organizer. "Give me four hours," she tells clients, and "I'll give you wow!!!" She believes that our homes need to make us feel good—because a home that makes us feel good will help enable us to be our best selves. For 18+ years, she has worked with New Yorkers to help maximize their space by judiciously pruning, organizing, and showcasing whatever it is that makes them happy, using patience, sensitivity, and a sense of humor. Heller also wrote a children's book called Messy Melinda, about a young girl who learns to love cleaning up.
