AddSpace To Your Life!

I found Kathi online while searching on a Sunday night. She texted me right back and was able to come the next day to rescue me! I had unpacked Christmas decorations and found creatures (mice) had been feasting on my decorations. She wasn’t shy about tackling this nasty situation and we worked quickly to get my garage in beautiful shape. I thought I was fairly organized but can’t wait to tackle other areas and go through the the boxes in my scary attic!

I was very happy to find Kathi on Unilocal.She has been so incredibly helpful in the past month organizing my 13 years of chaos including my divorce papers, two very active girls, and 3 parents being sick.
Before I found Kathi, I was feeling a lot of weight on my shoulders. I was very unorganized and overwhelmed but working with Kathi has proved to be a very amazing process.
Getting my papers and office in order has proven to be very liberating so I would highly recommend Kathi to come into your life and help cleanse your stuff and the past.
I now feel very rejuvenated and refreshed and ready to move my business to the next level.
Kathi will be very helpful in getting you organized and move your life forward and I would highly recommend her.
Next up — we are tackling my closet!

I am so thankful for Kathy! I called her after a few weeks of being in «I can totally do this myself» mode. I am a recent graduate and I admit I was a little bit of a hoarder when I was in school. So I did my best to clear out the clutter and extra paper and supplies, but came to a standstill.
Kathy came in, we talked about my goals and vision, what I wanted and what frustrated me about my space. She also looked around taking mental notes about how things flowed (and didn’t flow). Within 15 minutes we were moving things around! It was amazing!
First we worked on my storage closet. It’s small, and was packed with boxes and suitcases. She was able to rearrange it all so that I could also utilize that space as my grab — and — go station. I’m an acupuncturist that makes house calls and it’s important for everything to be in its place and easily accessible. I was so afraid we would have to throw stuff out, or give stuff away, but we didn’t. It just needed to be arranged properly and Kathy, the tetris queen, visualized the finished products within seconds of seeing the clutter.
Next, we worked on my bedroom and the living room. I didn’t have that much stuff but it looked like I did with the way my furniture was arranged. Kathy helped move the furniture around to create more space and even added a reading nook which I had been hoping for. She also helped me rearrange my craft supplies and going through each shelf and each box and arranging it according to how I use things.
A lot happened in the few hours that Kathy was at my house, and we still have two more meetings to go where she will help me with all the paper clutter that accumulates (mail, bills, business cards… etc). Her go getter attitude is perfect when you are in need of a change and her uplifting personality brings brightness to whatever she does. She is so approachable, understanding, and a great listener who genuinely wants to help people.
I highly recommend you see Kathy :)

OMG Kathy is a life saver! I have a home office and it was a wreck until Kathi helped me. I lost track of so many papers and was completely unorganized until Kathi came in, cleaned house and created systems for me to keep organized.
Now everything is flowing smoothly after 3 months and I couldn’t be happier. My income has gone up 50% in that time too. Coincidence? I think not

Kathi was awesome!!!
We spent the entire day together going through all of the paper clutter in my home office, organizing it into an amazing filing system that will be easily maintained for years and years to come.
She was patient, kind, and very thorough.
I’d highly recommend her services.

What I really like about Kathi is you feel like you’ve known her a really long time, even though you just met her. She is a great people-​person, kind, knowledgable. This made our time together very pleasant. Not only that, but we got a lot done! She’s one of those people you wish could rent a room to in your house to keep you motivated (What say you, Kathi?). We are still using the filing method she helped us create years ago to get away from our flat-​filing habit. We’ll call her again!

Kathi has a knack for creating new systems and kits to keep you and your whole life in constant flow.
I have been a client for over ten years. I’ve referred friends and family many times over hearing Heart felt thank yous from each and every one.

As a fellow Professional Organizer in the awesome state of CA, I just wanted to give Kathi a glowing review! I have shared sooo many of her articles/​videos/​tips on my blog and social media. She’s a phenomenal resource to readers/​followers/​clients!
What I love most about Kathi is her fearless attitude, super approachable personality, and friendly collaborative spirit. She is one cool gem!
Cheers to Getting Organized with her!

Kathi has worked with us on several projects: organizing, decluttering, style upgrade. She is focused, fun, and gets the job done. Her organizing and personal image consulting goes beyond the surface. With skill, energy, and heart, she did more than get stuff out of our house. She helped us clear our mental space, as well.

«You get yours monies worth»
Kathi really focuses in on were you are and what it is that your want and what will make you happy
Then she really digs in. She make it happen… and shows you how to keep it up.

For us. We had our art studio made functional and storage area organized …then we had her back for the garage …
Skilled and attention to detail…

Kathi Burns and Add Space to Your life have changed my life. I have been using her services during the past few years. She has helped organize and imagize me. She truly has the gift. She is the consummate professional that gets results.
I have struggled with disorganization for years. Kathi helped me turn chaos into calm. We organized my office and home. She does not just tell your what to do she jumps in there and shows you how to do it setting up systems you can use forever. She is in the trenches with you. Kathi is a bulldozer. She is truly a person of excellence. She will also take care of your donations working with local organizations and schools.
Kathi also helped re-​create my image. We went through the closet making it easy to navigate, getting rid of lots of items that I never wore, did not fit, or wore too much. Then we went shopping and what a fabulous experience. You feel like a queen and you look like one too. Her services save you time and money. She has also helped me with a new hair style and tips to look and feel my very best.
The information she gives you is priceless and it helps you develop those habits to keep you organized and looking great forever. She is also a master at helping you manage your time and create a schedule. Her book How to Master Your Muck is a must have. I use it all the time and have given it as gifts.
If you truly want to change and live the life you want, Kathy is the person for you. She makes organizing effective and fun. The best part of working with Kathi is at the end of the day you feel like you have really accomplished something.

Kathi Burns is a dynamo. I first worked with her years ago on a wardrobe consultation – I was stuck in «frumpy Mom» with a goal of «sophisticated executive.» By the middle of the 4-​hour shopping expedition, I had to beg for mercy and stop for a double shot of espresso. The consultation was a complete success – she taught me how to shop. The lessons have been indelible. And on top of that, years later, I am still wearing many of the original items, and still getting compliments.
Since that time I have worked with her several times on home and office organization: organizing a messy kid’s room, de-​cluttering and making sense of a large home office, and I even brought her in to work to help a clutter-​stricken office colleague. Kathi has more energy than a Texas tornado. If you have an impossible project, YOU NEED KATHI. She will make it happen. And she will keep your morale high to the very last moment. Not only does the project get done, but YOU LEARN LIFE SKILLS FROM HER. Kathi is THE BEST!

Thank you so much for all your help. You were a lifesaver and an angel for organizing my kitchen. It is my least favorite thing to do. My kitchen is organized perfectly! Both my husband and I love it. Your «zone philosophy» makes it easy to find kitchen items and easy to place kitchen items back where they belong.
You were fun to be around, you worked efficiently, and you gave me some good ideas for other projects. Feel free to use me as a reference as I am a very happy customer.

I have worked with Kathi Burns for over a year and cannot say enough about her professional organizing services. She got me started using Quick Books and taught me how to purge so much unnecessary paperwork that I had always saved indefinitely. She got my files organized using the Freedom Filer system to match my Quick Books categories. And now that Quick Books is being used, I have been able to simplify my filing system even more. I have a long way to go to be completely clutter free, but Kathi has been so helpful and has made my office a functional work space where everything has its proper place.

Kathi Burns is the best Professional Organizer in San Diego. She has transformed my house and my life to almost clutter free. It is a work in progress as is our llives. She has helped me let go of things. all that fabric I knew I would use… the many books and papers. She organized me with my taxes…2 legal size containers into one small letter size box. She is patient and kind and non-​judgmental. She is the very best!

I have been using Kathi’s services for many years. She has organized my office, house, garage and overhauled ME! She is an image consultant/​personal shopper too. Her advice is never wrong. If she as much as raises an eyebrow when she looks at an item I know it needs to go, I trust her that much. Because we have worked together so long she and her husband have become close friends with my husband and I. Not only did I find the best organizing expert in San Diego, I found a wonderful friend! Words can’t describe the calm feeling when everything in your environment is organized!!!

Kathy’s organizational skills and attention to detail are superb. She is very innovative and very creative and she encourages you to think outside the box.

I can highly recommend Kathi for her organizing skiils. She started with my wifes closet and wardrobe. She combed through all the clothes, got her to donate many old items and shoes, and re-​organized the entire closet into a working system. Next she started on our personal files. She set up a 2 year rotating file system which I still use to this day. Getting tax info is now a breeze. Kathis organizing systems are worth the price, saving us time and money. Plus she is fun to work with!
