“I take what I learn from Jody and use it not only in my life, but I apply it to helping my brother”

“As a clinical social worker, I recommend Jody to my patients. Especially those with marital problems who will find working with her therapeutic.”

“It’s not that I can’t do it on my own when I take the time to, but I can’t do it as effectively on my own where what I do is maintainable.”

A mutual friend connected me with Jody Berman from So Organized. I am disorganized and live uncomfortably with a lot of clutter. Jody worked with me via Skype as a Coach over the phone. She helped me to find a starting point as I didn’t even know where to begin. The suggestions were logical and got me started on the process. The longest journey begins with the first step. In addition to being experienced and knowledgeable, she was a pleasure to work with. She was encouraging and enthusiastic, but best of all she did not make me feel judged when my progress was small. My apartment remains a work in progress, but her helpful suggestions have provided me with guidance.

S igns of disorder everywhere

Do they

O verwhelm and confuse?

O rganizationally challenged?

Do you

R ecognize that this is you?

G et a grip and some resolve

A nd learn what steps to apply

N ow is the moment

I nvest your time for precious days

Are flying by

Z ero in on problem spots

And learn from me

E ventually the work will show

That from

D isorder you can be free!

I was stopped in my tracks

Overwhelmed and in pain

But you soon led me to hope

That this chaos could be changed

The work wasn’t easy

One mountain after another to face

But at last we reached a sweet reward

And now order has been restored to this place

I may be able to smile with ease

and anticipate what lies in store

Because you helped me to truly own

That, indeed, less is more!

Thank you Jody for helping me to organize some of the spaces in my house that presented such a challenge and so much stress for me. We worked virtually and it was perfect. We prepared in advance for what areas we would tackle and you were able to see from beginning to end each space, and guide me through step by step what to keep, toss or donate! And then how to store and label those things that I would keep. Even my work area is better organized now! You are part organizer and part therapist. Letting go of sentimental items has often been hard for me; you helped me understand what to keep and what to part with. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process! Look out for a call in the near future, when I prepare to sell my home! Would be happy to work virtually again!
