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."

"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."

"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."
