About

Hi, I’m Suzanne, a Professional Organizer specializing in decluttering and minimalism. Let me tell you a bit more about myself!

I was born and raised in beautiful Brandon, Manitoba. Throughout my adult life I’ve always had a love for travel; whether it was to a sunny destination or exploring a new city. In 2005, with a desire for new adventures, I decided to move to the biggest city in Canada; Toronto, Ontario. In Manitoba, the slogan on our licence plates is “Friendly Manitoba”, and all these years later I still pride myself in representing that slogan. I’m friendly, fun, and adventurous. I’m also easy-going, caring, and understanding. While working with clients, I feel I have a special way of putting them at ease, and even like to have a little fun!

I started Organize This in 2012 and became a member of Professional Organizers in Canada (POC) shortly after. I earned my certificate as a Trained Professional Organizer via POC and have formerly served on the Executive as the Communications Coordinator for the Toronto Chapter. In the spring of 2021 I broadened my horizons by getting my certificate as a Certified Virtual Professional Organizer so I could help clients from anywhere in the world. I have also attained a spot on the List of Experts at Getting Organized Magazine. Most recently, I have become a subscriber to the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD) and have achieved the Level I Foundation Certificate of Study in Chronic Disorganization. I am also a member of the Tiny Home Builders Association of Canada, as well as a contributor to the Tiny House Alliance USA.

My love for tiny homes and decluttering fused together in the past couple of years. I started working with clients who were preparing to go tiny and needed to downsize, but I continue to work with all clients that want to live with less. For me, helping clients isn’t just something I do for money, I truly have a passion for helping people, and it shows.

Testimonials

Before Suzanne came into my life my apartment looked like a tornado had hit it! Organization has never been my thing. I hired Suzanne based on her skills and ideas she had for my home, and her friendly and compassionate personality sealed the deal. In only 2 sessions she has changed my living space into something functional, it looks wonderful, and I can actually find what I'm looking for! I am amazed at her talent to organize and working with her has been such a pleasure. I would definitely recommend Suzanne to anyone!"

Marion Fuller, Office Supervisor, Bank of Montreal

"I've been Suzanne's client off and on for years and she has helped me immensely in bringing order to my home. I work from home but never seem to have the time and/or know-how to keep my house organized. Over time Suzanne has organized my home into a livable space which makes my work day, and day to day life, run a lot smoother. I've learned so much from her and have even passed on what I've learned to my friends and family! Thank you and great work Suzanne!"

Sami Makhlouf, Jewelry Designer, Akkadia Jewels

"My husband and I live in a typical downtown condo in Toronto. It can be overwhelming trying to organize in tight spaces. Suzanne worked her wonders and helped organize our closets in a way that is functional and easy to maintain. Suzanne was able to gently encourage us to get rid of stuff that we didn't need anymore. I couldn't believe what she was able to do in the space that we have. Not only did she help organize our closets but she was full of great information and ideas to inspire us to organize the rest of our condo. Thank you Suzanne!"

Brenda Smith, National Marketing Manager, Boston Pizza International

"I began working with Suzanne several years ago now and I knew right from our first meeting that this would become an enduring professional relationship. Not only have we attacked specific organizational projects at various times - closets, drawers, my extensive music library, etc., and not only have I used her shopping and research services at various times. Just as importantly, Suzanne often acts as a trusted organizational sounding board for me, a welcome voice of strategy and support amid the clutter of my self-employed life. All this, plus she is always friendly and encouraging! Maybe "gem" is the word I'm looking for."
