Chronic Disorganization
If you’ve struggled with getting and staying organized for a long time and if being disorganized affects your daily life, then you’re probably chronically disorganized. You may have felt at times that you’ll never get organized. But that doesn’t need to be true. If you work with an organizer who specializes in working with chronically disorganized clients, you’ll have the opportunity to develop organizational systems that work for the way you think. If you have difficulty letting go of items (many chronically disorganized people have a special relationship with the stuff in their lives), a trained organizer can help guide you toward making decisions to let go of things that aren’t actively adding to your life.
Janine is the only Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization® (CPO-CD®) in the St. Louis area. She has taken extensive training in working with chronically disorganized clients through the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization. She has attended six of their national conferences and taken more than 75 of their teleclasses. Over the last four years, she has earned eight of the NSGCD’s nine Level I certificates of study and both of the organization’s Level II specialist certificates. She earned her CPO-CD® credential in October 2009, after completing a 20-month mentored and peer-reviewed educational program. In November 2008, she earned the credential CPO®, Certified Professional Organizer.
Just as important as her training is the fact that Janine really loves working with chronically disorganized clients. She is patient and non-judgmental and takes extreme satisfaction in making a real difference in their lives. Janine’s had the opportunity to work in some extremely cluttered situations, so you need never feel ashamed or worried about letting her into your home, even if it’s been a long time since you’ve invited anyone into your home. Having struggled with organizational issues herself in her life, Janine brings empathy and understanding to her work.
