We all have a lot of "things" in our lives.
We hold on to things that have sentimental value and remind us of people or memories that we cherish. Sometimes, there is also value in letting go of things, especially when what we own begins to overwhelm us. Disorder and clutter in our spaces can contribute to anxiety and stress in our emotional lives. What's more, confronting the issue can bring up feelings of shame or embarrassment.
Working beside you, I am here to transform what may feel burdensome into a fun, engaging, and productive process. Decluttering is uniquely personal, and it requires gentle and compassionate attention for success. As we work together to simplify your space, I guide you as you let go of things you are ready to part with, and keep the momentum flowing until the project is complete.
The result: a refreshed space that brings you relief, restored clarity, and renewed creative energy.
I partner with many local organizations in order to relocate your old items to a new loving home. My top priority is to reduce waste and to keep as much as possible out of the landfill.

"I contacted Julian at a time when I was so overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I had amassed during the pandemic that I didn't know how to think about let alone act on how to clean up my space.
More impressive even than his manual skills are his social and emotional skills. Julian's style is sensitive and non-intrusive. He is aware that he is being let into the intimacy of a stranger's life. Julian is aware that letting go of "stuff" is also letting go of memories and the people and times attached to them. He is a respectful listener and a careful encourager; wise and skilled beyond his years.
I recommend Julian's decluttering services unreservedly. I cannot thank him enough for helping me make my home livable again."
-- Nicole, South Burlington
"My husband and I are facing a move out of the home we’ve lived in for 25 years. 25 years of accumulated stuff and my very poor house cleaning. It was completely overwhelming. I was frozen. We kept putting off putting our house up for sale because we couldn’t show it with all the stuff and clutter. Then I contacted Julian. Thank the lord!
I was so afraid of judgement but I knew I had to have help. Julian was exactly what I needed. His kindness, energy, and organization skills gave me the support I needed to get started and to keep going. I simply could not have done it without him. We sorted, threw out, donated and packed without stress. I actually enjoyed working with him on this huge project. I was always amazed at what we had gotten done at the end of each day.
Probably some of the best spent money ever."
-- Patricia, Monkton
"Julian swept into our cluttered house and achieved order in record time. Through the force of his energy, intelligence, discipline, kindness and physical strength, he cleaned, cleared and organized, carrying carloads of castoff items to donation centers and disposal sites. One-plus years into the pandemic, during which we have spent most of the time in our newly-cleared domestic space, we continue to be grateful for Julian's help. We couldn't recommend him more highly."
-- Molly, Shelburne
"Working with Julian was a lovely experience. He helped me sort through 20 years of teaching materials and hundreds of children’s books. Julian was so present and patient and gave just the right nudge to make the choices of what to keep, what to donate and what to discard. His nonjudgmental attitude perked me up to tackle the project."
-- Shannon, Winooski
"Working with Julian was 100% worth the money. He is smart, positive, energetic, motivating and a pleasure to spend time with. When we started our project together I felt overwhelmed by the work before me but before long Julian had me excited to organize, declutter and make changes in the space that I needed to make. What could have felt like hard work suddenly felt like a fun project that I was accomplishing with a trusted friend! We got a lot done and the investment of time and money spent with Julian yielded real results. I only wish that I had connected with him sooner. Thank you, Julian!"
-- Mary, Montpelier
"I had to relocate to a different state and pack eight years of my life into two storage units and a few suitcases. With so much packing, donating, cleaning, and throwing away to do by myself, the task not only seemed physically and mentally daunting but I frankly wasn’t even sure I could do it. Getting Julian on board to help out was a game changer. He truly went above and beyond in everything he did for me and managed to handle every task I tossed at him, including individually packing a very large number of perfumes (I am a collector) and other fragile items, color coding and labelling boxes, donating all the pantry items and other things, selling some of my more expensive furniture, and getting people to take away things I did not need. I could not have successfully, and with such relative ease, done this without his help. Thank you, Julian, you truly are the best!"
-- Sandra, Montpelier
"Julian is a 'get to work' kind of person. He relishes the challenge of bringing order to disorder and moves quickly to sort items for keeps and for discarding. He is also sensitive to respecting attachment to special items. He leaves the worksite clean and far more functional."
-- Shelly, Boston, MA
"I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Julian. His organization and inspiration helped me immensely and he has a great attitude! I had a room that had been a catch all for years and in a few hours, we had reimagined, rearranged and I had a functional, working space again.
Of course you can do it yourself! But have you yet? Get a hold of Julian, you'll be glad you did!"
-- Sally, Burlington
