Home Decluttering in Montréal
Why Work With Me?
I’ve been organizing professionally since the 1990s. I bring experience, patience and a sense of humour to work that can feel exhausting before you’ve even started.
We’ll work together to sort belongings, make decisions and create systems that suit how you live. You decide what stays and what goes. My job is to help you move forward without taking over.
My background in libraries, museums, writing and filmmaking also comes in handy when the clutter includes photographs, correspondence, manuscripts or decades of digital files.
Whether we’re tackling a cupboard or a family collection, I respect your privacy, your possessions and your priorities.
A move coming up? A parent downsizing? A home that has become too much to manage?
I provide hands-on decluttering and organizing in Montréal homes. You can book help for yourself or arrange support for an older parent or family member.
When you need another capable person
Downsizing: sort a lifetime of belongings and decide what will fit your next home.
Moving: declutter before packing, pack what is coming with you, and organize after the move.
Illness or reduced energy: make everyday spaces easier to use, at a pace you can manage.
After a death: sort possessions, papers and keepsakes without pressure to decide everything at once.
I help sort, organize, pack and coordinate practical arrangements. I can prepare bags and items for pickup. You arrange the transportation and removal; hauling is not included.
Start with a conversation
Every booking begins with a free 15-minute introductory call. We’ll discuss the work, your priorities and whether we’re a suitable match. No package purchase is required before we speak.

A defined area. A pressing task. A manageable beginning.

You decide what stays and what goes. We agree on a realistic scope before the visit.

For the move that is approaching, the downsizing you keep postponing, or a home that needs more than one afternoon.
We’ll set priorities, work through sorting and decisions, then organize or pack what you’re keeping. Returning visits give us time to follow through.
Suitable for you or an older parent who would welcome practical help. We agree on the scope during your call.
A Bigger Transition
$1,260 CAD
Six 3-hour visits · 18 hours
For several rooms or a more involved move, downsizing, or sorting after illness or a death.
We’ll break the work into manageable visits: sorting belongings, organizing papers, packing, and preparing items for pickup.
More time for decisions and practical follow-through, without trying to do everything in one exhausting day.
Saves $90 compared with the hourly rate. This is a time package, not a promise to complete an entire home.

Quoted for your collection
Photographs, letters, family papers, manuscripts, hard drives and cloud storage.
I organize physical and digital collections so you can find, use and share them. My background in libraries, museums, writing and filmmaking helps when a collection needs more than labelled boxes.
Archive work is assessed and quoted separately from home decluttering packages. We’ll agree on the scope and estimate before work begins.
