Hi there! I am a mom of 5 living just outside of Houston. I have been a teacher for 5 years helping students, when I found a new passion I started as a side hustle that was rewarding for myself and my customers. I have lived through my own trauma, and witnessed the struggles life throws at you. I knew I wanted to make an impact in my community, and I knew it was time to try something new. I enjoy being a part of the healing process with my clients, and the intimacy of the work I do. Everyone copes with grief and trauma in their own ways and hoarding is no different. When I'm not working I spend as much time as possible outside! I love the work I do, and find joy in the unexpectedness of each situation; how every client is so unique and interesting.
About Us
5 Stages of Hoarding
- The 5 stages of hoarding are:
- Level 1: The Least Severe Level with Few Indicators
- Level 2: Noticeable Object Collection and Embarrassment with Visitors
- Level 3: Odors, Poor Hygiene, and Narrowed Hallways
- Level 4: Structural Damage, Sewage Issues, and Unusable Rooms
- Level 5: Fire Hazards, No Electricity or Running Water and Accumulated Human Feces
Processes of the De-Hoard
- Conversations on the end goal and areas to prioritize.
- As much as possible, clients should try as much as possible to take out things of value - which sometimes is near impossible - we recommend making a list.
- Trash removal - large items first, reducing and reusing as many bags, and boxes on site or brought in as possible.
- Sorting like items together first into bins and boxes, and most times needing a second sorting into taped and labeled boxes or bins of the client's choosing.
- During the sort, many items will be assessed for donation worthy based on our knowledge of what is donatable.
- Cleaning of the entire home.
