Linda and her team at Out of Chaos are consummate pros. I first became aware of Out of Chaos after hearing friends rave about a workshop Linda had presented at a large corporate event.
It is obvious that Linda not only loves her work but is highly skilled at what she does. I initially hired Linda when I was consolidating 2 households into 1 and she set up smart organizational systems that ended up saving me time/energy and that also looked beautiful, for the entire length of my stay in that home. Linda also taught me how to maintain those systems, and how to set up others like them, as needed. Linda understands the psychology of clutter and so I felt like I got double the value – both in terms of her practical services and for her help in leading me to understand why I was holding onto stuff that I no longer needed and how to avoid those unhealthy tendencies in the future. Linda provides significant value to clients. She understands that her client has high standards and expects expert and expedient results, while still being cost-conscious.
I have referred Out of Chaos to many friends who have been equally thrilled with the long-term results. One of these was my elderly mother. Linda and her team worked effectively and compassionately with her and managed to get a huge and complex house job done in record time.
I would HIGHLY recommend Linda to a variety of different clients – from corporate professionals who want/need existing workspaces and systems overhauled, to blended families combining households, to the families of ageing parents when the time comes for the major move and downsize from the family home to residential or hospital care.
