My Space Reclaimed, LLC

I highly recommend My Space Reclaimed. Maristella and Crystal are amazing organizers. They work well together and are very detailed. They transformed my whole home into more comfortable home where everything has a place.

Maristella and Crystal are wonderful!!! We have finally finished my organization project after working on it for two years. I am so pleased and ecstatic about the results. We have completed organizing all rooms in the house and the garage. It is so wonderful to walk into a clean and organized home. Maristella and Crystal are excellent!! Their expertise in organization and the psychology of clutter is amazing! My home feels happy and light! I have new fresh energy thanks to My Space Reclaimed". The systems implemented have helped provide peace and less stress to my life. I took notes on some of the systems, and I refer to the blogs on My Space Reclaimed for reinforcement when Maristella writes about systems she has implemented. "Maristella and Crystal are wonderful to work with. We had fun and we accomplished the mission together!!!"

This was my first time working with a professional organizer and I must say I have been missing out...my whole life OR Maristella simply spoiled me! It was definitely an unexplainable experience working with Maristella. While my interests were in having pinterest type of organization around my home, I was more interested in learning and gaining efficiencies when it came to running a household with demands of parenting and being a "wifey". Maristella came in and taught me systems. She showed me how I was getting in my own way as I became a slave to laundry, kitchen, etc. With her systems in place, I now have 3 hours back each evening where I CHOOSE how to spend it and it's surely not spent cleaning because of her systems. My children are becoming more self sufficient. They were eager to learn and keep up with the new way of life. My husband even respects the amount of time, effort and money spent to get to this point and he does all that he can to ensure we are all operating harmoniously in our new ways of life. Thank you to Maristella and her team.

I connected with My Space Reclaimed to help hang up various artworks I own. She has a keen eye and even wrote up a full two pages of recommendations and suggestions for me for my home. If you have the time go ahead and book My Space Reclaimed to get a consultation. It is rather worth it. I'm much happier in my home the way my artwork is orientated.

Maristella Bertram is the owner of My Space Reclaimed and an amazing organizer. I've never met someone more passionate about life that expands into her work, and her clients are always so pleased with how she helps them. Maristella is a true master of her craft.

My Space Reclaimed blessed my family and our home!!!! Maristella and Crystal reorganized my kitchen, the heart of a home. They did an outstanding job! The time and money was very much worth the investment!!! They helped me purge, organize, place items appropriately for maximum efficiency and use. They helped me put systems in place so that we can maintain the space after they are gone. We experienced total peace this weekend. It was a team effort!! They asked me questions to understand why something was this way, explained cause & effect. They even gave me homework to do so I could learn...... I am looking forward to working with them again. They are helping me restore peace and balance to our lives. Thank you very much!! A great experience!!

I already knew how to let go of my clothing so I was more than prepared for Maristella and Christal. But we all have areas that can be somewhat difficult. Our family history tends to creep into our thinking of things as what to do with them. My family grew up during the depression. So some of that was going on in the background. They helped me get unstuck quickly and gently pointed out these things so I could let go of them. When the closet was done I cried and did the happy dance. This was part of a long held dream of a beautiful master bathroom and closet area. They exceeded my expectations. They helped me let go of things I had no idea I needed to let go of and even beautifully labeled where my things were. This was the best use of my money so I can easily go forward in the future and feel free.

I recently had surgery and wanted to get my craft room unpacked and organized while I am off work. Maristella came in and worked quickly and efficiently. She even had her husband come with her to help with putting together a shelving unit and moving some heavier items. She has offered great suggestions, not only in the craft room but also for other areas of my apartment. We aren't quite done with the craft room project (I have a lot of stuff), but she made great progress the day she was here. I will have her come back once some of the items I have ordered for organizing arrive. I would highly recommend Maristella of My Space Reclaimed!

Maristella has been delight to work with for several years. Incredibly organized, thoughtful and knowledgeable. As an interior designer, I appreciate her attention to detail. I recommend her to all my clients and other designers who need a trusted professional.

Maristella has a unique ability most of us lack. She does not fear chaos, she embraces it, manages it and breaks it down so it can be tackled by anyone. At some point in our lives we have experienced the horror of moving. The horror for me is still fresh in my mind. In the past 5 months we moved from a large house to an apartment and in February to yet a smaller apartment. We barely had time to unpack and then it was time to pack again. This is were we lost control of any semblance of order - we gave up and the garage took the brunt of it. We had now created a deadly obstacle course that could only belong in the Saw Movie Series. I literally need to reclaim my space! My Space Reclaimed, LLC is a clever name and the owner is nothing short of brilliant. Maristella helped me face & manage my fear: being overwhelmed by too many 'things', paralyzed to do anything, starting something, not finishing and starting some other project, yet never completing anything. Flash-forward to March 27th. I read through some reviews and reached out to those that caught my eye. Maristella was the first to respond; her reviews were excellent and the before/after photos only reinforced the 5 Star service she had been given by other customers. I completed a professional questionnaire customizing the services specific to my needs, signed a very comprehensive contract and we set an appointment for the 28th of March. That's how quickly she was able to accommodate me. She arrived the next day: punctual, her uniform attire with logo perfectly pressed, every and all cleaning & organizing supplies one can dream of. I was nervous, would she judge? Would we get along? Was I ready to do this? Would she be a slave driver? Was she going to be mean? I was seriously worried for nothing. She was awesome, I liked her immediately. This was a person I wanted to work with. Then the magic began. My goal was to clean the garage as a surprise before my boyfriend returned from Rome - I had 5 days. To accomplish clearing out the garage and the following tasks was next to impossible: Organize the Fridge Purge Clothing & Closets Separate & Re-Create Men's/Women's Closets De-Clutter Bathrooms De-Clutter Laundry Area Organize Pantry Purge & Organize all files, paperwork, etc. Label Files, Pantry Items, etc. Maristella was an inspiration. The work she does is not easy, but she loves it (I am still shocked that someone could love it, but she does). Plan, designate, focus, attack, finish - this was the process. While she was doing this, I chose to follow suit-it was inevitable that this may not last once she left. I asked her to tell me what to do, direct me and tell me how and tell me how long I should take (every detail needed for someone with raging ADHD). This ends like a fairytale - the goal was met, we did everything we needed to do! Maristella still did most of it, but I realized as a client I also had to buy into the process. It was a great experience and I learned this process that really gets me motivated & moving. Now, there are times when I lose that luster, but I've contacted Maristella when this happens and somehow she gets me right on track. I call that beyond responsive and Maristella does go above and beyond expectations. She takes great pride in her work, it is a reflection of her.

Maristella, and her partner Anita, are dyed-in-the-wool professionals. They arrived exactly on time, went right to work, and didn't stop until they were finished. For various reasons, my project was difficult, but their method was meticulous, completely effective, and they successfully achieved everything they told me they would in a single, though long, day. The task was overwhelming to me, yet they didn't blink an eye as they dove into decades worth of squirreled stuff. I am extremely satisfied with the results. Aside from being very hard workers, they have very warm and cheerful personalities and are completely trustworthy. They immediately made me feel at ease and helped get me over some bumps with a kind yet firm touch. If you are burdened with stored and hidden clutter, and need to refresh your space to maximize efficiency, then do yourself a huge favor and get in touch with Maristella.

Maristella is an amazing home organizer. Not only is she very thorough and polished, but she has also made me feel comfortable at every turn. There has not been a moment when I have felt judged, and Maristella has kept the momentum high and gotten me excited about every aspect of our project. I feel more motivated to be organized than I ever have, and I am completely confident that I can maintain my results using the skills and organizational products that Maristella has shown me.
