If you’re thinking about hiring a professional organizer, one of the biggest questions you probably have is what’s actually included in the process.
At Professional Organizer New Orleans, our goal is to make organizing feel less overwhelming by handling as much of the process as possible for our clients.
Whether you need help decluttering a single closet, organizing your kitchen, packing for a move, or resetting your entire home, our team works to create simple systems that feel functional, realistic, and easier to maintain long-term.
In this post, we’ll walk through what’s included when working with our professional organizing team in New Orleans.
A Personalized Plan for Your Home
Every organizing project starts with a phone consultation with Olivia Parks, owner of Professional Organizer New Orleans.
During the consultation, we learn more about:
- The areas you need help with
- Your goals for the space
- What currently feels frustrating or overwhelming
- Your timeline and budget
- Whether you need help decluttering, organizing, packing, unpacking, or a combination of services
From there, we create a customized plan based on your specific needs.
Behind the scenes, Olivia also creates a detailed project brief for our team members, so that whether your project requires one organizer or up to four, everyone arrives prepared with a clear understanding of the space, priorities, and goals for the session.
This helps our team work more efficiently while making sure the project stays aligned with your vision from start to finish.
Professional Organizers That Arrive Prepared
One thing clients often appreciate is that our team arrives ready to work.
You don’t need to worry about gathering supplies beforehand or figuring out what tools may be needed during the session.
Our organizers bring commonly used organizing supplies and basic tools to make the process as seamless as possible.
Depending on the project, our organizing supply bags may include:
- Trash bags
- Donation boxes
- Label makers and Sharpies
- Clorox wipes and paper towels
- Scissors and tape
- Ziploc bags in multiple sizes
- Basic organizing products
- Step ladders
- And more
Our goal is to make the process easier for clients, not add more work to their plates.
We also arrive on time, prepared, and ready to work efficiently so projects can move forward smoothly.
What’s Included in Our Decluttering Services
Many clients contact us because they feel overwhelmed by the clutter that has built up over time. Often, they know they need to declutter but struggle with where to begin or how to decide what to keep.
During decluttering sessions, our team helps clients sort through belongings using simple categories like:
- Keep
- Donate
- Toss
- Relocate elsewhere in the home
We provide the supplies needed throughout the process, including donation boxes, labels, and trash bags.
One of the biggest benefits for many clients is that we also help remove as many donations and trash bags as possible at the end of the session.
We know that for many people, the hardest part is not necessarily decluttering itself, but actually finding the time afterward to deal with the donations.
Depending on the amount and type of items being removed, we’ll explain ahead of time what we can take with us, what may require a larger donation pickup service, and what local donation centers may or may not accept.
Our goal throughout the process is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where clients feel comfortable making progress at their own pace.

We also created a separate guide covering how much decluttering services typically cost in New Orleans.

What’s Included in Our Home Organizing Services
Our home organizing services focus on creating systems that make daily life easier and more functional.
Once clutter is reduced, we help organize everything so the space is easier to use, easier to maintain, and easier to find things in.
Depending on the area being organized, our team may help:
- Categorize belongings
- Create organizing zones
- Label storage areas
- Maximize shelves, drawers, and cabinets
- Improve functionality in smaller spaces
- Set up maintainable systems for everyday use
Some organizing projects may also require additional organizing products such as bins, baskets, or storage containers. If needed, we can recommend products or help coordinate product purchases for the space.
Our goal is to take as much off your plate as possible while creating systems that feel realistic to maintain long after the session is complete.

What’s Included in Our Packing Services
Packing for a move can quickly become stressful, especially while balancing work, family responsibilities, and everything else involved in relocating.
Our packing services are designed to help make the moving process feel more manageable and organized from the beginning.
Depending on the project, we may:
- Help coordinate packing supplies
- Recommend what materials are needed
- Categorize and label boxes
- Carefully wrap belongings
- Create organized packing systems to simplify unpacking later
Many clients also choose to declutter before packing, so they are not bringing unnecessary items into the new home.

What’s Included in Our Unpacking Services
Unpacking is about more than simply emptying boxes. Our unpacking services help clients get settled into their homes faster by creating organized systems from the start.
During unpacking sessions, our team may help:
- Unpack room by room
- Organize kitchens, closets, and storage spaces
- Break down boxes and packing materials
- Remove smaller boxes that clients no longer want
- Set up functional systems throughout the home
Whenever possible, we also reuse leftover boxes for donation pickups and future organizing projects.
