Zen Habitat

When we first spoke on the phone, I knew I didn't just want someone to come and organize my home for me -- I needed strategies that would help me to stay organized long-term. We were on the same page immediately! Keith taught me invaluable systems that I've been putting into place around my home between our sessions.

I knew I wanted to get rid of a lot of stuff, but I really appreciate that Keith never actually pressured me to "just get rid of" anything. He'd see me looking at something really hard and ask me a few questions to help me clarify my feelings and align my decisions with my goals.

I had a lot of Big Feelings around certain spaces so having Keith's practical problem-solving and non-judgmental presence was invaluable in transforming my home into a place I enjoy using. I'm so happy to report I've been using my kitchen!

Plus he's honestly just a joy to hang out with for a day. I highly recommend Keith to help you to fall in love with your space!

Keith has been a lifesaver for our household. We started off with cluttered closets, cluttered pantries and cupboards, and cluttered refrigerators to name a few. Project-by-project he patiently aided my wife and I to organize the clutter, help us identify what needed to stay and go, and put systems in place to make sure it doesn't fall back into the mess we were trying to hide behind closed doors. We used to just "shove and close" when putting stuff away, which ultimately led to stuff falling on the person's head who unexpectedly opened the door next. Now we have a home for everything, and everything is in it's home.
On one visit, we decided to keep the kids home from school so that they could learn these life skills by having them work with Keith on cleaning and organizing their bedrooms. It was an all day task and worth every minute.
We wholeheartedly recommend Keith if you're looking for a caring individual to help you get your home and space in just the way you want it. Make sure to make time to work with Keith during the whole visit; you will feel 1,000 pounds lighter at the end of the day!

Keith is magical. Seriously! I hired Keith to help me out with organizing my bedroom and wish I hired him sooner! It would've saved a lot of time and mental stress. I've worked with him for three sessions and this previous session, I really saw my room transformed as all of my items finally had a comprehensive home. It was the first time I could see parts of my floor that I hadn't seen in a long time because of all the items. My room finally feels spacious and Keith made the process manageable and fun. He also gives great suggestions on how you can better store your items.

I would highly recommend Keith to anyone who feels overwhelmed by organizing.

Look no further...Keith will change your life. I recently moved in with my partner and needed some help with down sizing and organization. Keith was the gentle nudge and calming presence I needed to accomplish my goals. In five hours we were able to organize and remove items that no longer served me or space in my home. Keith was exactly what I needed to kick start my new chapter.

I've worked with professional organizers before, with varying results. Keith is the first one to work with me, rather than enforcing his idea of what organized looked like. With other organizers, I've wandered the house looking for things after the organizer was gone. After working with Keith, everything is right where I expect it to be AND I know where things go when I'm finished with them. Frankly, I had no idea I was even capable of being organized in any meaningful way.

If you have random piles of stuff that doesn't have a place, but that is probably important or you constantly lose your keys or glasses or laptop or you have socks and shoes everywhere, Keith can help you corral everything, completely without judgment.

Keith is fantastic! We hired him to help with multiple rooms in a house we moved into. We needed to consolidate two households worth of stuff and we both had very different styles of organization. He accommodated both our styles and really helped us optimize our individual and shared locations pretty painlessly. There was a lot of ground to cover and we brought him in for multiple visits. Definitely a lot of work and time, so it helped that he also had a pleasant and engaging personality.

We're both super happy with the result and our living space feels so much more usable and comfortable.

I highly recommend!

Keith Bartolomei is pure magic. Do not hesitate to book him for your next project! He makes the impossible, possible. I recently worked with Keith to organize and purge a storage locker in preparation for an international move and could not done it with out him. It was a task that I had been dreading and was so grateful for his professional support. After our sessions I actually felt energized and excited rather than drained. Keith has great enthusiasm and brought to each session a grounding presence and keen intelligence to ask me the right questions so I could be empowered to make the best decisions about what I wanted to keep and what I wanted to let go of in preparation for my new life.

From the get-go, Keith was a great teacher and enabler. He came in without judgement, helped us identify our intention for our space, discussed areas of concern, and guided us through each section of the house. His SPACE methodology helped us trim down on items we've been holding onto for too long, and compartmentalize those we'd keep, in their own designated home. He also introduced us to a new folding which has been super useful.

We reached out to Keith/Zen Habitat to wrangle the chaos of our garage, and we are are over the moon about the "new" space! The result is exactly as I hoped - from crowded, cluttered and stressful to easy, flowy and functional for our busy family of 4! I've felt a real emotional shift this week. Thank you Keith for making the process so fun, supportive and educational for both of us. You pushed us kindly when needed, but never beyond the level we were ready for. My husband and I both agreed it couldn't have gone better.

If you need help getting organized you have found the right person! I struggle with organization, especially now that I have two young children. My family moved recently and I was overwhelmed by unpacking and organizing our new place. After just one session with Keith everything felt so much more manageable. He also explains some principles of organizing as you work with him, so I learned a lot. I just had him come for a second time and help me organize my home office. It was like magic! He took my terrifying boxes of random stuff and helped me get it into all the right places. I highly recommend Zen Habitat for any home organizing needs.
