Valerie's performance was outstanding from beginning to end. She demonstrated exceptional communication skills, provided innovative ideas, and successfully executed them. Her efficiency was remarkably impressive. She played a key role in helping our department revamp our front desk and supply closets, resulting in a professional appearance and easy maintenance. The project would have taken several weeks for me and my team to complete, but Valerie accomplished it in just one day. I highly recommend her without reservation!

Having lived in our home for almost a quarter of a century, I've experimented with countless organization methods. While each approach appeared promising, they inevitably disintegrated in a matter of weeks. I managed to maintain a relatively tidy household, but clutter was always present in the form of misplaced items and duplicate purchases. After three years of both living and working from home, I'd reached a point of frustration. I have a tendency to resist domestic responsibilities, and was apprehensive that engaging the services of a professional organizer would lead to judgment or ill-fitting solutions. That is until I discovered Valerie from PĂ­vot Organizing. Her unique methodology instantly caught my attention, and I am ecstatic to have found her. Valerie is affable, empathetic, uncomplicated, and candid; a winning combination. I have never sensed the slightest trace of criticism from her, and her suggestions are all feasible and sensible. Valerie has taught me numerous practical and helpful organizational principles that work, and her approach is versatile. She can advise, coordinate projects, or even collaborate with clients on specific tasks, depending on how much help they require. This flexibility was precisely what I needed. Some areas of my home only required a list of chores, while other spaces seemed overwhelming. Valerie was able to efficiently tackle those areas with me. Now, after several months of living with the areas that I reorganized with Valerie's guidance, I have found that my organization has improved and is much simpler to maintain. Working with Valerie has been a pivotal moment for me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services. Numerous friends and family members have also been inspired to work with her after witnessing the transformation she facilitated.

Valeria is exceptional. We have been her repeat clients for more than six months. She adeptly assists in identifying and eliminating chaos while reordering our abode. The most outstanding aspect of working with her is that none of it seems arduous or tedious. Instead, it leaves us feeling rejuvenated and delighted with the enhanced space. Words cannot do justice to how much I recommend her. If you get a chance to collaborate with her, do not hesitate!

During our basement renovation last July, Valerie and I began working together to organize all items on the main floor, moving from front to back. We faced a major challenge in August when my mother passed away, but Valerie helped me sort through everything in her one-bedroom apartment, organizing items for donation and family members with ease. Throughout the fall and winter, Valerie continued to work with me, designing storage solutions for the downstairs area that we moved into once the renovation was complete in January. At the end of every session, she would remove the unnecessary items for donation or disposal. Unlike my previous organizer, Valerie was very flexible and did not require the purchase of additional equipment. Her expertise in organization and design was unparalleled, making her an excellent professional. Furthermore, she was always responsive, understanding, and accommodating to my busy schedule and personal stressors. I enjoyed spending time with her during our sessions, and now my home is too tidy to continue working with her, but I hope to mess things up again soon so I can work with Valerie once more. Overall, I am grateful for my experience with her.

After speaking to several organizers, I found that Valerie from Pivot truly grasped the underlying issues with organizing my home. She delved into why I placed certain items in certain areas and, based on my reasoning, provided better solutions. Our home is small and our storage options are limited, which caused me considerable annoyance. While I had some personal systems in place, I felt that both my mind and home were cluttered. Valerie arrived and pinpointed why I placed things in their positions, offering alternatives for better access. Her particular strength lies in utilizing existing storage bins and materials for organizing. What sets her apart from other organizers is that she doesn't push for a complete overhaul of closet spaces and purchasing new bins. This is a common pitfall that yields attractive yet unsustainable results. We began with the pink room I use for my art, closet storage, and home office, but our holistic solution encompassed the entire house. Here are some before-and-after photos :)
