Coaching to Conquer Clutter and Hoarding
Stop
Compulsive Acquisition
I work closely with you to identify the thinking, emotional, and behavioral patterns that cause you to acquire things you don't really use, and struggle to let them go. Working together you will take back your power over your stuff, and release the emotional, mental and physical clutter that is interfering with your quality of life.
I do not encourage ANYONE to release things under duress or in pain. Instead, I work with you to discover the beliefs, thoughts, and emotions that cause you to use things for comfort. I help you get clear, resolve conflicts, clarify your goals and figure out what is truly most important to you. When you have a clear purpose, you will be energized to make the difficult decisions, and peacefully let go of things that are not contributing to your quality of life.
Once you integrate the belief that letting go is part of life, and learn the self-talk to empower you to do it more easily, you will begin to integrate regular letting go of things into your daily life so that you can maintain your progress.
In 2007, I worked with a client to free her garage from 30 years of hoarding clothing and clutter that left it unusable and nearly destroyed her life. Coaching with me helped her stop her addictive and compulsive shopping and let go of thousands of items. Her children and 1-800-got-junk provided the labor, I provided the plan, and worked with her side by side to provide emotional support to help her make the tough decisions and ease her into letting go. I then helped her redesign her garage and provide plenty of inexpensive storage for the large amount of clothing she wasn't ready to let go of. However, she was able to park her car in the garage for the first time in many years. Here's what she had to say a week after...

Coaching Success Story - S
I had the honor of coaching a lovely client that I'll call S. After forty years of feeling like a failure at organizing her home and living with clutter that was draining her energy and sucking the life out of her, she called me for help. At first she felt like she was being "too self-indulgent" and that she "shouldn't need help", but she also knew she wasn't getting results on her own. She was so ready to change, and so motivated that she took the chance - and it paid off for her!
She had a very special event planned which involved having several guests stay in her home for a weekend. That event was just 5 weeks away and she was determined to have her entire house in order in just 5 weeks!
This would be a challenging task for anyone! We developed a room by room plan together and she hired a local handyman to help her with the "brawn" of implementing the plan. As she encountered procrastination and other internal obstacles to accomplishing the plan, we tackled the internal beliefs and "stories" that just weren't serving her and came up with strategies that worked to get her motivated to take action and get the job done. She experienced some intensely powerful breakthroughs.
She overcame her fears, released "negative stories" an rebuilt a new image of herself as a person who CAN get things done. Someone who CAN be organized and CAN let go of clutter. She LOVES letting go of clutter now! It's a feeling of power and mastery she hadn't known before.
She let go of truckloads of clutter. As a side affect, she received 2 job offers within one week after clearing her clutter - and she had not even been looking! You don't have to believe it...it just happens. When you clear clutter and take charge, you make room for great new possibilities in your life!
E-mail I received from S.
Dear Ariane,
After getting off the phone, I was so charged up and clear, I not only finished organizing my bathroom, I got started on the living room too! I can't wait to send you my pictures so you can see what I did!
You truly honored me and my process... Working with you very much feels like a transformational process.
I'm still a little in shock when I look around my home and see it so neat and organized, and yet at another level it feels quite natural. ...Talk with you Wednesday and thank you again for what you do and who you are.
