What is a green organizing coach?
An organizing coach is an expert in efficiency who helps you eliminate obstacles that drain you of energy. Being "green" takes efficiency one step further and considers the fact that our natural resources will not last forever if we do not conserve them.
Energy efficiency includes turning off the lights when you leave a room as well as decluttering unnecessary tasks from your routine. Since money is another form of energy, Bliss Coaching helps clients maintain a sustainable budget.

What is feng shui?
Feng Shui (translating to "wind-water" in English) is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics. Many of its principles are used in modern design to maximize the efficiency and flow of space. There are many abstract principles in various schools of Feng Shui, and the effectiveness of many of these have not been proven scientifically. I incorporate the logical design principles of feng shui into my coaching. Certain colors, textures, and materials have symbolic effects on us. For example, it is usually easier to sleep in a dark blue bedroom than a bright orange one.
What if I need to donate, recycle, or dispose of heavy furniture?
I can help you find someone who provides lifting or moving services near you. Many charities will pick up large donated items from your space. I can also recommend quality green moving services in NYC.
What if I need organizing products?
I will email you information about product recommendations upon your request (i.e. space saving products, bamboo furniture, and junk mail elimination services).
If you live in NYC, we can go to an organizing supplies store together to pick something out specifically for your needs (many NYC stores will deliver). I will first measure your space to make sure the products will fit into the areas where they will be placed.
Is Bliss Coaching environmentally responsible?
Bliss Coaching runs on the values of preserving our environment's resources for future generations. Not only do I offer green consulting to clients who want to live more sustainably, but I incorporate green products, practices, and services into every nook and cranny of my business and life. Bliss Coaching also supports fair trade certified companies whenever possible.
I have been an environmentalist since I first learned about recycling in preschool, and having a business where I help others live more environmentally responsible lifestyles is a dream come true. If you would like to suggest a practice I have not mentioned below, please let me know!

Who is your ideal client?
I most enjoy working with people who are ready to heal and let new blessings come into their lives. This openness requires the willingness to let go of clutter and to see oneself as a powerful, worthy being. I only work with those who treat me with respect, and if they do not already treat themselves respectfully, my goal will be to help them do so.
I also enjoy working with people who care about the environment and how it affects our health. I find it particularly rewarding to help people with health challenges shape their future with more efficient habits, as I have a great deal of experience with my own health challenges.
Do you work with clients outside new york city?
I work with clients all over the world and schedule sessions via email, phone, chat, and even videochat.
where in nyc do you schedule in-person sessions?
I work with clients in most boroughs of NYC. Please send me your address with your inquiry if you would like to know if I serve your area. If you live or work outside my area of practice, I may be able to make an exception, although it will result in a travel fee as well as any extra expenses such as commuter train or cab fare.
What types of payment do you accept?
I accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover credit and debit cards as well as electronic checks through Paypal. If you would like to pay with a check, it must be cleared before your first session. No cash, please.
What is your cancellation policy?
Clients that do not give advance cancellation or postponement notice at least 24 hours before a scheduled housecall or telephone session must pay a $50 fee. Fortunately, I can help you set up a trustworthy scheduling system so you can avoid this fee and always be on top of your appointments.
Do you offer any referral rewards?
Yes. You will receive 1 free hour of coaching when someone you tell about Bliss Coaching becomes a new client (make sure they mention your name).
