How long do projects take?
Working together, projects estimate 4-6 hours for one small area of a room, ie: closet, pantry, or office. A bathroom counter can be about two hours. Whole house decluttering estimates 1-3 ongoing weeks, though we strongly advise spreading the days out. A standard small 14" x 12" box with documents and receipts will take about nine hours to scan, and additional hours to organize files varies on how files are requested to be saved.
Do I need to be home and present during the decluttering session?
Yes! This is a hands-on activity and you and/or your family will be required to work alongside me. What I may view as donation, sell or discard, may be your treasure. Your home is your personal space and having a stranger go through your things can cause great anxiety. Working together will not only save time, but also help walk you through the process mentally and physically.
I will work with your children and a guardian must be present at all times. I also love animals, including bearded dragons, however, if my presence introduces abnormal behavior, I will kindly ask you to separate them to another location of the home.
What is your cancellation policy?
Once a schedule has been set, no refunds will be given. I understand that life happens and cancellations are necessary within the hour of the session. In the instance of a personal emergency, sessions may be rescheduled. Please allow at least 3 days' notice, if not 24-hour notice when possible. For urgent emergencies, you may call or text message me at my provided number during consultation.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept cash and checks (made out to Collected Abundance LLC). Bounced checks incur a $35 fee. I also accept all major credit card providers.
Are new storage solutions, like baskets, included in the hourly or package pricing?
No. I promote conservation and do not recommend buying anything. I will incorporate what you already have on hand. If desired, we can discuss the goals and styles you'd like to achieve and I will provide recommendations.
Should I clean and declutter my house before my session?
There is no need to clean and declutter ahead of time. Leaving things where they are help me understand how you live your daily life, and organize things in places that make sense for you. We're all embarrassed by our living situation when it gets out of hand. This is a judgment-free zone.
What if the decluttering session reveals the need for other services, such as cleaning or small repairs?
We can discuss resources in the neighborhood that can provide the best assistance for your needs. For guidance, you may browse the recommended resources as a place to start your research.
Will you clean my home as well?
No. I will only dust and clean in the focused area(s) of decluttering and organizing.
Kind Words from Our Neighbors
Julianna, thank you so much for helping me with my move. You worked so hard! The amount of work you have done is amazing. From unloading the vases you had efficiently packed. My deepest gratitude.
I thought it would be impossible. I was past exhaustion and your presence alone gave me full strength to finish. I was so anxious and your calmness allowed me to feel calm. Please know how grateful I am for your invaluable assistance!
You were sterling today once more. Thank you ever so much Julianna!

"We’ve been going through a bit of a rough time [and] our house has been in complete disarray lately. Julianna came by and helped with some tremendous organization tasks, especially in the entry way of our house, our out-of-control shoe baskets, and the little closet under the stairs that had become a monstrous clutter-filled nightmare. Thank you so much again Julianna!!! It means more than you know."
