About Denise Levine

That’s my philosophy at Outside In Organizing.

As a child I organized Barbie and Ken’s house and my mother’s kitchen cupboards. Not everyone is like that. (Wouldn’t it be boring if we were all the same?) Your stuff is, well, your stuff, and you want it the way you want it.

But maybe you’ve decided you don’t want so much of it; you want to get to things without wading through clutter. Or maybe your life situation has changed and you’re downsizing, moving or learning to let go of something — or someone — that’s been with you for a long time.

That’s where I come in, because besides having an innate sense of organization, I have trained with the National Association of Professional Organizers to help people like you learn to organize your space so it feels good to you.

I also walk my talk. I’ve downsized my North County San Diego home to a smaller living space and along the way asked myself tough questions about what I need to keep. Questions such as:

• Is my stuff really me?
• How important is it that I hold on to some of these things?
• How would it make me feel if I didn’t have this?

Along the way I learned that with or without my stuff, I’m still me. My stuff is not my identity.

I can gently help you move out of your comfort zone into a whole new comfort zone using my extensive background in teaching, and along the way you just might get some surprises. Repurposing things you already have for a new use and shopping in your closet for a whole new look are just a few of the techniques I teach.

When your environment is organized your life is organized, and when your life is organized you feel more relaxed, flexible and in control.
