Testimonials

"Jodi stepped into my life in what feels like complete coincidence. My family was tired of having me live in a chaotic and cluttered house with some people close to me. Upon meeting and hearing my own take and background, as well as listening to my family's concerns, Jodi carefully and calculatingly figured out how to best approach cleanup, organization, and refreshing my living space. She got us in contact with the most amazing realtor, as we explained we had interest in purchasing a new home in which to have a fresh start. Not only did her recommended professional hit the ground running with us, but between her and Jodi working with us, we had found and purchased a lovely home within a month!

Jodi was with us every single step of the way, using her professional skills, her extensive and illustrious network, and her psychological and sociological training and savvy to make sure the move was smooth. She helped us downsize on our way out of the last house, and continued on to help not only with our actual moving day, but with the process of organizing our home as we moved in, as well! So many things went wrong during the actual moving day, but Jodi stared it down, took the reigns, and made it work for us. Instead of Murphy's Law of moving, it became a memorable comeback story of a day. Now we're putting our personal touches on our new home, and we couldn't feel more comfortable and knowledgeable.

Her work truly led us to a clean slate we could grow our life on, and I will forever be grateful for her insight and expertise, her hard work, and her determination and pep."

Julie

"Thank you for finding a good home for the dishes that I no longer need. I'm glad another client is enjoying them. Also, I love my office. It works wonderfully and I've gotten several compliments on it. I even bought my own label maker. xoxo"

Linda, Squirrel Hill

"So glad we found you! It's wonderful what you have helped my friend accomplish. We just love her and are glad to see these changes."

Margie, Cannonsburg

"I invited Jodi into my home a couple of years ago to help me in clearing out a bedroom for my daughter. The room was filled almost completely and had been used for storage of my husbands "stuff". I had tried every trick I could come up with for 3 years trying to clear the bedroom. I failed miserably. So I called Method to the Madness and Jodi came to the rescue!

The results are that my daughters no longer have to share a bedroom! My husband is able to make the distinction between what makes sense to keep and what is clutter. And after making that distinction, he can actually take the action of disposing of clutter! And he can be comfortable with the process.

Getting through the emotional issues of letting go of things is a delicate one. It was a process for us that was breeding tension and animosity. With Jodi's knowledge of social behavior and her amazing organizational skills, we have been successful in moving forward with our clean up efforts. We couldn't have accomplished what we have without an outside professional to step in and take charge and make things happen. That is what Jodi did. She made things happen!

There is one other very wonderful thing that came from our experience. In addition to teaching us the tools in becoming organized and turning around a major hording issue, Jodi played a large part in saving my marriage! We learned how to communicate our way through the tough times of spring cleaning.

Here we are a few years later, still married - happily! It is Spring time. So far we have taken two car loads of "stuff" to Goodwill, put some old battered furniture in the trash and even sold things through internet media.

Thanks Jodi - you really know your stuff!"

Eileen, Forest Hills

"This is sappy so be prepared. I have not seen my parents look so optimistic and visibly relieved in at least ten years. You are an amazing woman, Jodi Eisner, and I will remember you in my heart for the rest of my life. Thank you for sharing your gifts with our family."

Carey, Aspinwall

"Having Jodi in our home was a life-changing experience. Sure, we expected to get our home organized, but we didn't realize that Jodi's expert advice on how to simplify our daily routines would have such an impact on our lives! We have no clutter, no more wasted energy managing it, and more time to spend doing things that we love. We recommend Jodi to everyone we know!"

Vince & Karen, Cranberry Twp.

"I was amazed at how quickly I made significant improvements to my home and my time schedule!"

Carol (Business Owner)

"Once Jodi & I determined myplan of action, she stepped in and made the process easy, fun and empowering!"

Lynn (Attorney, Single Mom)

"Jodi Eisner is a powerhouse of energy. She bounced into our living room with fresh, new ideas and sensible ways to implement them. An organizer sees every drawer, every cupboard and every closet in your house. Jodi's background in Psychology enabled her to be sensitive, patient, and confidential. She was non-judgmental and practical, and I always felt safe with her. Jodi was there to help, teach and empower me to become organized, efficient and proactive, and besides, she was just fun to be with! We listened to music and talked while we cleaned closets and cupboards together. Jodi has a great sense of humor, she's kind and empathetic, and she knows when to push -- and when not to. I would highly recommend Jodi to anyone looking to make a difference in their space and in their lives."

Ilana

"Jodi really has done a great job working with my wife. I'm putting her on retainer. It really has made a palpable difference in my life and our marriage."

Steve, Pittsburgh

"Not only did you help us purge and organize our things, streamline our methods and decorate, but your beautiful spirit is still a source of inspiration to all of us. Thank you so much for sharing your time and positive energy with us. Thank you for the both tactful and direct way you helped us get on track and for always being a great listener and font of wisdom on a few sensitive issues. The service you provide is unique and wonderful. The timing for my openness to 'letting go' of some things – material and emotional was perfectly tuned to our meeting. You are counted as one of our many blessings."

Brenda and family

"I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate working with you to get my house more organized.

As you may recall, when you first arrived, there was barely a path to walk through the basement to get to the laundry area. It was really unsafe, not to mention annoying when I tried to do laundry. It was essential for me to have your help in getting rid of things we no longer needed. I had tried to do it myself, but it was too overwhelming, and I had no process to think about how to decide what to keep and what to pass on. But working with you, we were able to get the task done in one day!

I also appreciated your expertise in knowing how to organize the things we wanted to keep. It is now very easy to pack for a trip because I know where to find my suitcase, and likewise easy to unpack and put things away. When my son goes on a scout trip, we know exactly where to look for his camping things. And, most importantly, we can now get to the laundry area without risking tripping and falling.

The work you did in our family room was great. Before you worked on it, it was not really a pleasant room to be in. But now there is a place for all five members of our family to sit down at the same time, and we didn't even have to buy any more furniture. Your interior decorator's eye really knew how to place the furniture to make the room more functional and pleasing to the eye.

I also appreciate how you helped me set up my files so I could manage the vast amounts of paper that come from the mailbox and school. It has been much easier to keep track of papers from school, using the filing system you set up.

Thank you so much for working with me. It was well worth it. Our house no longer feels like a storage bin for junk, but a home."
