The Good Old Bio
Helena’s ten years of experience as an international corporate manager and later as a stay-home mother of three boys has given her a deep understanding of how having an organized space benefits both professionals and families. She believes that organization leads to a less stressful, more enjoyable and prosperous life.
Married to a gynecological-oncologist/US Navy officer, Helena understands the needs caused by relocations and the urgency we feel to settle ourselves and our families. Organization has always been a part of Helena’s lifestyle and it has helped her achieve both professional success and personal balance. It also allowed her to help family and friends with at-home orderliness as well.
Helena is a lifelong learner and believes her training through the ICD (The Institute for Challenging Disorganization) and NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) gives her a deeper and broader understanding of the needs of her clients, allowing her to work with what works for them to become and stay organized, allowing them to enjoy a better quality of life and thrive.
Helena is enthusiastic, non-judgmental and passionate about her work. She loves working with people, no matter where they are in life.
MY MISSIONHelena’s mission is to promote well-being to individuals through de-cluttering and organizing, creating healthy, functional and attractive spaces where they can thrive and grow. |
