EMK Incorporated

While I know before and after photos are a popular marketing tool used in my industry, I only share after photos - and here’s why.

I am keenly aware of the emotional work involved in hiring a professional organizer to help calm the overwhelm that often holds my clients back from living in a peaceful, orderly environment.

I understand the difficulty of pressing through negative emotions in order to get to the goal.

Many of my clients hesitate to schedule the initial consult because of the immense judgement they have for themselves and the judgement they perceive will come with being vulnerable and sharing the state of their affairs - sometimes with a stranger.

The first thing they usually say is, “I’m sorry. My house is a mess. Please don’t judge me!”

To which I reply, “There is no apology needed. I am not judging you. And this does not overwhelm me. It’s ok. I’m here to help you. Show me more.”

Being disorganized comes often coupled with embarrassment, shame, trauma, loss, abuse, overwhelm, insecurity, not feeling good enough or worth it, and sometimes, even demons that bind.

And because of that, I have decided not to share the before pictures that would amplify my clients negative feelings. That would be an abuse of the privilege of their privacy and confidentiality with me in trusting me with their vulnerabilities.

I am so grateful for the privilege of not only helping people organize their spaces, their paperwork and their photos, but most importantly helping them do the hard work to overcome internal deep rooted struggles that prevent them from living their best life.

The heart work is my favorite. ❤️

Yesterday I organized a pantry for a client while she is on vacation and I am so excited for her to return and enjoy her well appointed pantry!

These are the after photos. 😃🥳🎉

Today, I am in the homestretch of a scanning project that includes the complete contents of a four drawer lateral filing cabinet. This box contains the oversized items. All others were scanned using ScanSnap. 🫣

It has been an honor to archive the Irish heritage of a client’s late husband, who was a passionate genealogist. 🍀

Capturing legacies for future generations has been a passion of mine since my Creative Memories days and this project was fun! Onto their family scrapbooks! 😃🙌

My dad used to always say, "Stick to what you are good at and hire experts to help in areas where you don't excel."

Spring cleaning season is here… and if you’re looking around thinking, “I have SO much stuff I should sell someday” — this is exactly what I do. 🌸

For over a year, I’ve been helping clients turn their clutter into cash—without the stress of doing it themselves.

✔️ Hundreds of items sold
✔️ 4.7⭐️ rating on Facebook Marketplace
✔️ 11,000+ clicks on my listings in just the last 7 days
✔️ Thousands of dollars made for my clients selling items they no longer need or use

While you’re opening windows and freshening up your space, I’ll handle:
• Photographing your items
• Pricing your items strategically
• Creating high-performing listings
• Managing all messages and negotiations
• Coordinating safe, local pickups
• Paying you COLD HARD CASH

No piles sitting around for months. No back-and-forth with buyers. No wasted time.

Just more space in your home—and money back in your pocket. 💰

If spring cleaning is on your list, let’s take it one step further.

Let me help you find a new home for any items you no longer need or use, that might really bless someone else who does!

What a privilege to look after my clients’ property, possessions and precious pup while he is away in a sunny place for an extended period of time. ☀️

We cleaned out his pantry (mostly expired since his wife passed away and he has not done much cooking or baking since), keep his hot tub medicated, put trash out and bring mai/packages in, and are keeping “Good Boy Butler” spoiled at Chateau EMK. 😃🐾❤️

Are you planning a trip and you are concerned about the safety of your home, your property or your pets? I can help! 🙌
