“Liana is an amazing, insightful coach who has the gifted ability of uncovering your truest self and creating a safe place to truly look at how you are showing up in the world. Liana was both a colleague of mine at CTI and also a coach for me during a time when I needed empathy and empowerment. I highly recommend her to anyone needing powerful and intuitive coaching!”
“Liana is an enormously creative, hardworking and strategic organizer. We have worked with her on multiple projects for over a year, some of them lasting a month or more. Liana helped us haul out, sort through and re-organize over 100 mouse-infested moving boxes- some of which had not been opened in two decades! Liana’s stamina, sensitivity and ability to keep us on track were priceless gifts to us as we tackled enormous amounts of junk, memorabilia, paperwork, books, you name it- STUFF! I have worked with other organizers in the past and can say with certainty that Liana is by far the most focused and skilled of the professionals I have encountered. Not only does she bring a discerning eye to your space and your things, she intuitively knows how to work with the emotional baggage that often accompanies your “stuff”. Liana keeps your projects and your life in strict confidence, she is completely professional, kind and truly a delight to work with. Her skill base is broad and her knowledge is deep, her insights and observations are keen and her work ethic impeccable. I am happy to speak to anyone considering her services about the specifics of working with her. She’s truly a gem!”

“Liana has a sixth sense for knowing what is out with the old and in with the new.” I call it intuitive clutter removal…girl has got skills! This is highly appreciated, as I have weird emotional attachments to certain items in my closet that just aren’t right for me anymore. She helped me sort out my closet “situation” and get me through the sentimental attachment I had to certain items that had become stale…as well as acknowledge that some items deserve to be kept. YAY! And when all else failed there was even positive negotiating to be had…which made me feel like I was making some conscious choices. As the process went on I was so at ease I even let her help me “exorcise” my underwear drawer…which of course leaves room for the new! What I appreciated most was the orderly and practical methods Liana has for assisting me to exclude items from my space that made me realize I was actually gaining rather than losing. She also had an eye for the details…the order of clearing items, dusting, removal of disposable hangers, and the follow through to complete the job. She even took all my give away items to the Goodwill for me so I instantly was freed of the old funk that was cluttering my space (headspace included)!! BONUS. The bottom line is Liana helped point out the areas in my space that were blocked up and stagnate and helped me to create a clearing for new possibilities to flow…AND even better, we had fun.”
”I have worked with Liana for over a year, which was not because it needed to take so long. It was because I needed to go slow, and I have a LOT of stuff. I am also only available for a day every few months. I have worked with several organizers and Liana is my favorite. Liana is sensitive to the shame that I have about my clutter. She is always encouraging. She challenges my thinking about my clutter, which is great because it is my thinking that led me keep all of this stuff in the first place. This helps me to make deeper changes to prevent re-cluttering. I say that she challenges me, but she does it is a gentle and compassionate way. I don’t feel judged or threatened. If I am not ready to let something go, she respects that while reminding me of the vision of what I asked her to help me with- a clutter free home! We are able to use the items that I keep to help with the vision, and it is easier to let some of them go when I see how they aren’t contributing to my end goal. Liana is very easy to talk to. I enjoy our conversations while we are de-cluttering. Her suggestions are very wise. She has a great intuition about sorting, organizing, and making rooms look and feel good. She has given and taught me many skills that I use today so that I can maintain what she and I have done together.
