We've been busy working with many of you to prepare for moves, to manage your moves, and to introduce better organization into your lives. A lot has happened this year so we're sharing some relevant updates with you…
SHANNON
After working with many types of clients over the years, we found that people struggle with disorganization for very different reasons. I recently completed coursework with NAPO (National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals) to develop a foundational knowledge for working with clients experiencing symptoms or having diagnoses of brain based conditions (defined by NAPO as anything that causes a person to have ongoing difficulty or challenging differences with cognition, emotion, socialization, or behavior). During my coursework I learned how to identify physical, mental, emotional and environmental challenges and how to implement organizational and productivity strategies to empower clients in their daily lives. I am excited to say that I now officially hold a Brain-Based Conditions Specialist Certificate from NAPO!
In case you didn’t know, I believe that all spaces and items hold energy. As a professional organizer, I'm constantly touching a lot of items, and I'm in a lot of spaces. Some spaces are neutral, some spaces are dense with neglect and some spaces are just…full of busy energy. Over time I started to feel affected by the spaces and the amount of items that passed through my hands. I wanted to find a way to protect myself from the energy I was absorbing. Since I’ve always been interested in reiki and knew about its healing power, I enrolled in my first reiki course at my local metaphysical shop (or “Hogwarts” as Jared would call it) and before I knew it, I had completed all three certifications and I am now a Reiki Master.
As a Reiki Master, I now have the ability to clear the energy in a room or home or clear a person’s energy (with their permission of course). Questions about reiki? Have no idea what it is? Send me a note and I’ll be happy to share what I know!
And one final thing to share… I just completed my exam, and I’m on my way to being a Certified Professional Organizer®.
In order to sit for the exam you must be a NAPO member in good standing, have completed prerequisite courses through NAPO and have logged at least 1,500 hours of on-site work (which was a piece of cake for me).
