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!

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.

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!

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.
- George H. Seberg, M.D.

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, CGA

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.
- Dan Furst, actor, playwright, and teacher

I  think this is an EXCELLENT class that really addresses an issue that truly affects the quality of life.  The principles covered really ring true and even applying one little principle or suggestion is really freeing!

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.
