Having Tricia help me organize my kitchen was like having a breath of fresh air, calm and purpose enter my house. I am so happy with the results. Oh, and by way of 4-legged recommendation, my dogs loved her!

Our Clients Say
- A.M.
I cannot articulate how good it feels to have order back. I feel less stressed, more energized, and happier. It's incredible. After working with Tricia, the only regret I have is not hiring her earlier. The amount of time and stress she saves her clients far exceeds her cost.
- E.C.
Just sitting back in my room is so incredibly enjoyable now. I can’t believe how spacious and fresh it feels. Not only is my home a much more pleasant place to be now‚ but it’s also much easier to keep clean and neat. The sense of weightlessness and tidiness is helping me be more productive with other projects. I can't wait for New Leaf's prospective clients to find out how much Tricia can enhance their lives!
- Ken V.
Tricia is wonderful! She helped me organize my kitchen from top to bottom. She started with the areas that bothered me the most and helped me sort‚ clean and reinsert. She is very thorough and detail-oriented‚ stayed on task‚ and showed me strategies for keeping my kitchen functional and organized. I found my experience with Tricia very worthwhile and even fun! I would definitely recommend Tricia for any task you need.
- Amy D.
I've always avoided organizing because I never know what to put where and what items it's really time to let go of. Tricia helped me to sort through the clutter and come up with a logical system for keeping all the essentials. Thanks to this, cleaning and maintaining my home is so much easier, and I still marvel when I look at my previously messy areas!
- Chad C.
I finally stopped putting off organizing and called Tricia. I was a little hesitant at first, but it was great! With New Leaf's help, my kitchen was organized twice as fast and better. With a friend and partner in organizing by my side, it was almost fun. Tricia also brought great suggestions and ideas on how to make the space work better for me. She asked probing questions to find out how to make the space work more efficiently. I got an expertly organized kitchen without having to pore over books and articles on the topic. Thanks to Tricia, my kitchen now looks and functions a lot better!
- S.J.
I had a lot of anxiety about hiring a professional organizer to come to the house, but Tricia was friendly and relaxed, and helped me clear out a bunch of clutter in a relatively short time. Rather than pushing me to get rid of things, she allowed me to make decisions about what to keep, which, as she phrased it, "gave me permission" to clear out things I didn't need or like. Such a relief! I left our session with a more organized space, less stuff, and more energy.
- Amelia R.
It's like magic, you show up, get to work, look up a few hours later and the space is transformed into what you'd envisioned. Not only has it been worth every single penny, it has brought me a great sense of freedom to no longer come home to clutter, disorder and disarray. Instead I walk through my door at the end of my day and enjoy my living space, working on long forgotten art and sewing projects. I plan on using New Leaf's services again and highly recommend them to all my friends.

Thanks Trish, for sharing your time, energy and expertise in helping me tackle multiple tasks in a short, action-packed amount of time! Without coaching, I might procrastinate on what seems to be mundane activities for a lifetime~ yet I really appreciate having more order in my life and home.
- K.A.
A great way to get started on things you've put off and get rid of stuff you've been hanging on to for too long. I loved how quickly Tricia worked to get my two hours worth. It is amazing what you can do with an extra set of hands and a little encouragement!
- K.S.
Tricia helped with cleaning out clutter with no judgment about how it got that way, or what I chose to throw away or keep. I appreciate her acceptance of what I wanted to do and decisions I made. At the same time, she pushed me gently beyond my comfort level and because of that, we got more done!
- L.B.
New Leaf is to home organizing what a personal trainer is to your exercise program. Tricia takes the work out of clearing clutter and finding a proper home for all your stuff. She takes care of all the details so you can get it done!
- Ellie E.
Friendly, helpful, energetic, supportive. I'm delighted with all we accomplished in such a short time. I look forward to being able to have Tricia back!
- S.S.
Tricia is very hands-on; she kept me moving until the job was done‚ where if left to my own I would have probably done it halfway‚ gotten tired or frustrated‚ and left a bigger mess than when I started. Having her there to keep me motivated and on task was great. If I started getting distracted or drifting away from the task‚ she gently drew me back to getting the area finished. Now the area is a joy to look at instead of an eyesore.

When my husband and I merged households‚ Tricia assisted in organizing the kitchen‚ which had not been cleaned out or organized in over seven years. She took the lead in helping me pull everything out of the cupboards‚ going through the items‚ and planning where they should go back. She was very helpful in guiding my decisions of what to keep and what to get rid of. Her positive attitude kept the process from being overwhelming. She cleaned every surface of my cabinets as well as everything else before we put it back. My husband and I are so amazed at the kitchen’s transformation‚ in only half a day’s work - we love it!

When I was overwhelmed by chaos‚ clutter and disorder --think Ted Kaczynski’s cabin without the bombs-- New Leaf Organizing came to the rescue. Yes‚ seriously... I felt RESCUED!!! Best therapy ever!!!
