Empathic Organizer

Nancy, The Empathic Organizer, returns to The Hub with a work session to discuss anxieties and

resistances that arise before, during and after the process of organizing and decluttering your home.

This is an opportunity to develop your skills, expand your space and learn how to let go (which so many of us find hard to do) in a safe place where we respect and address the emotional challenges you may encounter along the way.

No judgment here. Just gentle and focused ideas to examine together. Nancy has extensive experience working with clients who are ready to tackle the challenges of their living space. She understands the complexity this subject entails.
