Peace of Mind Organizing

Make space. Find peace. Feel joy.

Press Room

Are you looking for an organizing expert to interview? I’ve been interviewed by television, newspaper, magazine and website reporters and am happy to share my expertise with you and your audience.

Prior to becoming an organizer, I spent ten years as a freelance writer. I’ve been on the other side of the interview process, so I know what makes a good sound bite. And I have a healthy respect for deadlines.

A sampling of my media appearances and accolades:
