Frequently Asked Questions
What are Professional Organizers in Canada?
Professional Organizers in Canada is the national association that represents professional organizers across the country. As a Trained Professional Organizer, I am committed to the highest level of conduct and ethics - that means complete confidentiality and objectivity. I also get to share ideas and learn from talented colleagues with different specialties. Find out more about Professional Organizers in Canada by clicking the logo.
What if I’m not ready to get rid of things?
That’s completely okay. We move at your pace. My role is to help you make thoughtful decisions and create systems that support your life, not to pressure you into letting things go before you’re ready. I will ensure that your unwanted belongings find a good new home and will take care of donation drop offs.
Should I buy bins?
Before purchasing any new items, I always try to find ways to use what you already have. While organization products are not always necessary, some may significantly improve the functionality of a space. If needed, I will provide recommendations for products and purchase them for you so that you don't have to worry about getting supplies before our organizing session.
I’m a bit embarrassed about my space. Have you worked with homes like mine before?
Yes, absolutely. Every home I walk into has its own story, and there’s no judgment here. Most of my clients call me when things aren’t working, and that’s exactly where I can help. You don’t need to feel embarrassed. You just need a starting point.
I feel really overwhelmed… can you help even if I don’t know where to start?
Yes, and that’s often when I’m most helpful. You don’t need a plan before we begin. I’ll guide you through the process step by step so it feels manageable and clear.
What if we organize it and I can’t keep it that way?
That’s exactly why I focus on creating systems that fit your real routines. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s making your home easier to maintain so it continues to support you over time.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I currently accept e-transfer, cash and cheque.
Why the name Routine Retrofit?
I need my routines to stay on track. If my vitamins are not right beside my morning coffee, they are not happening. My mission is to be the friendly perspective to kickstart your routines to help you live better and save time for all the good things you really want to do.
