What people ask before they reach out.

If your question is not here, you can call or send a message. Edith reads every message herself.

The approach

How is this different from a professional organizer?

A professional organizer works on systems and logistics. They can fold, label, and arrange. They cannot move objects you are not ready to release, because the block is not the system. It is the feeling.

Edith addresses the feeling, and the objects start to move. The result is a sorted closet. The method is a different kind of conversation.

No. Edith is a minister, not a therapist, and she does not present this work as mental health treatment. Many clients also see a therapist; many do not. The two are compatible.

What this is, is a structured conversation about specific objects and decisions, with someone trained to sit with grief. The work is concrete. You leave a session with fewer items in the room and more clarity about the rest.

No. Edith is an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister, and the Unitarian Universalist tradition welcomes people of any faith or none. The work does not require any particular belief and never asks about yours.

Many of her clients hold no faith at all. The minister training shows up in how she handles the room, not in what she asks of you.

Edith has used that phrase to describe how she works. She does not let the decision wait, and she does not let the conversation drift. She also does not push past grief or feeling when it comes up. She stays with it, and then comes back to the question in front of you.

You will know exactly what she is asking, and why. Nothing about the session is surprise or pressure.

Sessions

What happens in a typical session?

You and Edith pick a focus before the session — a closet, a box, a shelf, a single decision. The session begins there. Edith asks specific questions about what is in front of you. You handle the items, or she does, depending on what feels right.

When grief or feeling comes up, she stays with it. When you are ready to decide, you decide. Most two-hour sessions get through more than people expect.

You meet Edith on Zoom. You hold the camera, set up a tablet, or use your phone on a stand. She talks you through one decision at a time.

Many clients use a two-device setup: a laptop or tablet for video so Edith can see, and a phone on audio so they can roam around the house. The format works. Edith has used it with clients across North America.

It depends on the room. A single closet or shelf is often one or two sessions. A full room — a spare bedroom, a garage — is usually three to six over a few months. A whole house is a longer engagement.

You are not signing up for a package. You book sessions one at a time, and you decide when to stop.

Many people do. Edith has spent years sitting with people in grief, and the session can hold whatever shows up. Crying is not an interruption of the work. It is often part of how the work happens.

Yes, if you want them there. Many clients prefer to do the work alone with Edith, because someone else in the room changes how the conversation goes. You decide. Edith has no preference one way or the other.

Logistics & pricing

What does it cost?

Home sessions in Memphis are $100 per hour. Remote sessions on Zoom are $75 per hour. Most sessions are two hours. There is no package, no minimum, and no obligation past any single session.

A small number of sliding-scale spots are open at any given time. If cost is the only thing in the way, mention it on the introduction call.

For home sessions, Memphis and the surrounding metro area are included at the standard rate. Sessions farther afield are by arrangement, and travel costs are folded in transparently before booking.

For remote sessions, Edith has worked with clients across North America. There is no travel involved on either side.

The first step is the fifteen-minute introduction call. There is no charge for it, and no commitment to book a session afterward. You can call directly, or send a message and Edith will reply with a time.
Cancellations more than 48 hours out are no charge. Inside 48 hours, Edith asks for half the session fee, which goes toward your next session whenever you book it. Same-day cancellations for genuine emergencies are honored without charge — Edith is not interested in penalizing a hard week.

Privacy & what to expect

Will anyone come into my home besides Edith?

No. No assistants, no photographer, no documentary crew. Edith comes alone. She does not invite anyone in. She does not photograph anything.

No. There is no before-and-after content. There are no client stories on the site. The site is intentionally about the work, not about people.

If you ever want to share that you have worked with Edith, that is your decision and your words. Edith does not solicit testimonials or reviews.

For home sessions, Edith can transport items to donation, to a family member, or to disposal — whatever you have decided. She can hold something for a return visit if you are not yet sure. Nothing leaves your home without your call.

Yes. Edith has done this work for years and knows the pattern from the inside out. There are no cameras and no one walking through your home without your invitation.

You set the pace. You make every decision about what stays and what goes. You can stop a session at any point.

If your question is not on this page, you can ask it on the fifteen-minute introduction call, or by message. Either is fine.
