Working with Marilyn
has literally changed my life! As my husband can attest, there was always an underlying
stress that I felt about our living environment. Because I was overwhelmed and didn't
know where to start, I avoided attacking the jumbled drawers and closets, over-abundant
knick-knacks, and stacks of clutter everywhere. Then came Marilyn!! She helped me
to prioritize and make a "plan," where I was executing a little some days, and a
lot when I had more time - but ALWAYS moving forward. I used to struggle to do just
3 minutes a day of "de-cluttering," but now I'm ADDICTED, and it has become FUN!!
Marilyn helped me think differently
about "things" - I became free to toss them, donate them or give items to friends
- very liberating!! But also with an unexpected result - I re-discovered the value
of many of the things which I kept! Much of the "redecorating" I am doing in this
process consists of showcasing beautiful pictures, knick-knacks or other keepsakes
which I already had - but were just too "buried" to appreciate!!
What started as one small "sacred space," has now overtaken every area in our home.
I feel totally empowered to bring the sense of order which Marilyn taught me into
every nook and cranny of not only my home, but my life!

The seminar exceeded my expectations.
Having read declutter and organizing books (and watched related
shows on television), I wasn't sure if I would learn anything new or
different - but I did. -

When I started working with Marilyn, I had piles
of papers dating back 2-3 years on my kitchen counter, almost 2 feet
high, with a small space available for eating. There were unopened
boxes from the move into my condo 8 years ago, as well as a variety
of paper piles covering about 25% of my living room floor and sofa.
I was embarrassed to have friends stop by and disgusted with myself
for not taking card of it. At times I could make the piles smaller,
but never cleared them away. With her encouragement, practical
advice and whirlwind activity during home visits, all the paper
piles have disappeared, the boxes put away, both couch and kitchen
counter are clear, and I have a program in place to keep it that
way. Truthfully, I had a hard time believing I’d ever get to this
place, but if I can do it, so can you! - Laura

I was referred to Marilyn by an already
satisfied client and experienced immediately why my friend spoke so
highly of her. The support I received was fantastic, however, the
true gift was her insight and feedback. I look forward to working
with Marilyn throughout my life.

In this consumer driven society, this class is
very important. We all have too much stuff. Marilyn has inspired me
to live with less and to control the less that I do have. - Janet H. Murphy
You are a life saver! You have also saved my
marriage – my husband is going crazy. Very good support. Lots of
ideas for me to apply. You made me aware of the psychology of
cluttering while the literature I’ve read covered only the “how to”
… – Evelyn Ho
Marilyn is a great instructor, facilitator and
encourager. She opens your mind in seeing clutter as it is and the
rewards in letting clutter go. –Carol Jean Ebia
I have read many books, periodicals, e-mails,
etc. about de-cluttering. Most of them begin with discussing the
“hard” work which is “internal.” This class actually motivated the
process to start happening for me.
– K. Chung
A great seminar! I’ve been to other
organizational seminars and their systems did not work. …I’m
motivated to de-clutter and do so in small incremental “healthy
habit” sessions. The class was well worth the time and money! - Emily Weaver
You have been able to help me put a lot of my
personal goals in perspective. You manner and demeanor have allowed me
to become more self-aware and have guided me in a non-threatening manner
to take more responsibility for my actions and to hold people
accountable for what they say or do and to fulfill my responsibilities.
The sessions have been productive allowing me to grow as a professional
and a person. I am a better physician and individual for having worked
with you on my personal improvement program.

I have really enjoyed being coached by you. As a
result I feel more empowered and more confidant. -
Lou Lazerson, M.S.
Your services were more than discussion, sources and
techniques. You demonstrated ways to resolve conflicts within a team and
how to handle a critical disturbance as it relates to accepting lessons
and responsibilities in the face of unsurmountable challenges.
- Annette Pang, business owner
Sharing your marketing expertise and corporate
awareness has helped me save time-consuming trial-and-error type
efforts. It's so nice to have someone with your knowledge and
perceptiveness cheering me on.
- Debbie Jenae,

Marilyn has helped me discover hidden resources in
myself and in others...and see and correct self-defeating patterns in my
own habits of thought and speech. I recommend her highly to those who
are searching for a new direction and a strong creative stimulus, and
who need the kind of positive mirror and fresh eye that she provides.
Her coaching is easy, and fun. And it works.

suggestion is really freeing! - Naina Tejwaney Ogden

business goals. With her expertise and guidance, my direction became
clearer.

Marilyn is the type of person who brings not only
her skills as a life coach to help her clients, but also her keen
intuitive skills as a master of human nature. She has helped me uncover
what I really wanted to achieve and how to develop a workable plan to
get it. She possesses a keen intuitive sense which helps her cut through
the obstacles which blocked my path to success and helped me devise
practical, manageable systems to reach my goals. She is a master as a
coach and would be of great help to anyone who desires to turn their
biggest dreams into reality. - David Tasaka,
