With a little help from Susan Francis,

You Can Do It!
Clearing clutter and organizing spaces can be a highly charged process emotionally. Susan is well
prepared to handle a variety of situations with sensitivity due to her diverse background of skills. A
member of the National Association of Professional Organizers, Susan also has 20 years experience in
social services. She has worked in private and public locations ranging from prisons and projects, to
state and national agencies, and as such has handled a wide variety of challenging situations with
compassion.

On another front, Susan learned Feng Shui from a Buddist/Taoist master. She also received National
Board Certification in Massage and Bodywork in 1984, and therein learned healing practices that
address physical homes and offices as well as bodies. Finally, with an undergraduate degree in
Environmental Studies, Susan has long been involved in sustainable and healthy living. All of themes
weave together in Susan’s work on healing our souls, as well as the web of life that surrounds us
here.
I'd worked with another professional organizer in the past, and that gal had helped me find a place for
all my stuff. Susan helped me look at why I was keeping so much of it in the first place!  As we
entangled the attachments, Susan supported me in naming the few that I still wanted to honor and
assisted me in the process of letting go of so many others. When we completed a session together I
often felt spiritually and emotionally lighter, and my house reflected this outcome. She is a gifted  
"clutter clearer," and a delightful and interesting person with whom to work. I highly recommend Susan
Francis, and the services she offers through Harmonious Places.

Susan Francis has been very instrumental in helping me to grow my business from a hit-and-miss type
of practice to a thriving, booked weeks ahead, "they love me" healing enterprise!  I was not organized
in my home, nor in my approach to my private practice.  Part of what Susan was able to accomplish in
her very intuitive organizing/coaching/mentoring capacity was to enable me to focus on moving steadily
forward, taking action daily, as well as having a firm belief in my gifts and abilities to help people and
therefore, achieve my mission.  She's helped me move THINGS and move FORWARD as no one I've ever
worked with.  Small, medium-sized, or super-sized businesses could definitely benefit from Susan
Francis' ability to create harmony that also leads to success.

Working with Susan Francis for the past six months has been transformational for me-- both in my
personal and professional life in a helping profession.  In my career, both clutter and my health had
impacted my work, at home my clutter was taking over.  Prior to working with Susan and during the
past 18 years I had seen 1 clinical psychologist and 3 social workers, all of whom had different
therapeutic approaches to my various concerns.

They all helped me to some extent, but not one wrapped their thinking around all of the issues
underlying my clutter as Susan did right at our very first meeting.  She also gave me creative solutions
to my work situation that have greatly improved both my health and performance.  Her unique
therapeutic style has made a dramatic improvement in both my emotional and physical health, my
performance and my relationships, not to mention my clutter!  Her guidance is leading me from surviving
life to living it in a way that is better than I had ever imagined.
