"Kathi came into my life right in the middle of a move from San Diego to Maui. I had an entire condo to sort through, and less than two weeks to prepare a massive garage sale, organize and inventory a large charitable donation, pack remaining contents and move into storage. It was a Herculean effort that I never could have done without Kathi's help. Her timeliness, reliability, honesty and work ethic were vital to successfully accomplishing all of the tasks. I am extremely grateful for Kathi's support and assistance during this chaotic time. I never could have gotten through it without her!"

"Kathi helped me go from a makeshift home office full of folding tables piled with unsorted papers to a roomy, clean, professional office that allows me to work more effectively. Instead of pushing piles of paper from side to side trying to make room to work, I now have ample workspace and know where everything is when I need it."

"Kathi is incredible at making the best utilization of a space.  After watching what she was able to do with my very disorganized linen closet (turning it into a very useful storage location for not only linens but all of my various sundries), I had the trust to have her organize additional rooms.  Her design sense is so aesthetically pleasing- she puts like things in like places, and in a way that makes sense! Her decisions are very logical and many people have commented on how much better my home looks.  Also, her business name, Courage2Change is a great description. Kathi has valuable insights into what causes someone to be messy...it's almost like having a supportive therapist with you while you work together.  Thanks, Kathi, you're appreciated!

Kathi, Thank you so much for your tremendous work here at St. Aban's Church! We were facing major challenges with our storage area and after your hard work, fantastic insights, and unstoppable energy, it looks like new... with room to spare. I couldn't have done it without you. Your experience and knowledge is key in what would have been an otherwise overwhelming project. Everyone is very impressed with the new space and you have made a real difference. Thank you so much, I will recommend you to anyone in need without reservation.  With sincere gratitude, 

The Rev. D. Rebecca Dinovo+

 Testimonial from Michelle R 6/27/09 

Kathi has helped me tremendously.   

When my parents passed, I was left with a 1,300 sq ft home with tons of stuff from generations of family members, many of them packrats. I felt stuck and overwhelmed.

 A lot of these things were occupying space, but actual items were a mystery to me.

So, with Kathi’s help, we were able to sort through, purge, declutter and reorganize the entire house.  She’s very available for assistance, and understands how difficult it may be to get rid of items. 

She helped me move into a smaller place, find an appraiser for the family heirlooms, put some things in storage, sort for the movers, pack for the new house, hold two garage sales and donated even more. In the new home, she helped me implement an easy and workable filing system and a space saving closet system. 

Kathi’s approach is direct, patient, individualized, and empathetic.

She offers multiple and thrifty solutions. 

I would definitely highly recommend her.  Not only did I rid myself of stuff, she gave me the Courage 2 Change and the process transformed my life and enabled me to live in the present.
