  • "I had the pleasure of having Laura come in person and help me sort out MANY mixed up baskets filled with my daughters toys and craft supplies (and other random items) which had been accumulating and causing a great deal of disfunction in our home. When she came in there were mountains of items in piles, when she left there was a clearly labeled home for every item that remained, several boxes taken to the garage to be donated, and 3 large bags of trash taken out of my home. We now have empty drawer space to grow into and are even selling an extra bench we where using to store our clutter. This Woman is a tenacious human being. She got to work immediately sorting our overwhelming mountain of items, she buzzed around me joyfully and speedily arranging the chaos into order. She offered many words of encouragement and reframed things for me when I felt stuck. It can feel stressful paying someone else to do a job you may feel like you should be able to do yourself, but this Woman can do three things in the time it takes an average person to do one. She didn't sit down or stop moving the entire 6 hours she was with me. By the end I was exhausted and Laura had extra steam in her engine to share, moving efficiently and organizing everything into its new clearly labeled home. She even swept my floors at the end while I sat in grateful shock that this huge job was done, and the weight was lifted off my shoulders. My daughter said this morning "Mommy I feel like I have a fresh start". This is how I felt. If you are coming out of a difficult season and everything feels a bit overwhelming, hiring Laura is an excellent way to invest back into yourself and your emotional well being. You need this woman in your life. I had never met her before she walked through my front doors for this clean, but she was very emotionally safe, and my experience with her has been the best thing I've given myself in YEARS."

  • "I had tried on my own for so many years to get ahold of the spaces in my home, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t make much progress at all. As the years went on, things just got worse. I had the desire to minimize and organize, and I thought I could do it on my own, but it wasn’t happening. When I saw an add for SOS, I just knew this was exactly what I needed. Turns out, Laura changed my life. Absolutely, 100%, changed my life. I just didn’t have the skill or knowledge to do this work on own. Laura guided me every step of the way, without ever once judging me. She had the skill, the knowledge, the willpower and the strength that I simply just did not have on my own. With her expertise, my entire house has been transformed, and with that, my quality of life has changed for the better. My kids have learned a new way of living, one they will bring with them into their adult lives. I cannot thank Laura and SOS enough, for literally changing my life and that of my family’s. My only hope is that more people and families get to experience Laura’s help and know that life at home can be simpler, less stressful, and truly joyful!!!"

  • "I can honestly say reaching out to Laura and her company was the best choice I have made in a long time. I heard the radio in the background one busy morning and I heard an interview being done by Laura that hit me. I knew I needed to ask for help. That same day I contacted Laura, we had a great conversation and I moved forward. I went from completely overwhelmed and frustrated in my personal space to being able to wake up in the morning and be able to think clear, breath and start my day off Right. I needed the support and positive push to find a system that worked for my crazy busy life and my family. Together with Laura, we did just that. We worked hard and the magic happened. I have a absolutely beautiful personal space that I can enjoy again and be proud of. How I feel inside is so worth it for me and I will for-sure be having Laura come back to assist me and my family. My daughter is happy to see her mom so happy again and that’s the best part for me. Thank you so much to Laura for being so professional and personable. You made this a fun experience. Take the step. It’s so worth it."

  • "Laura from SOS came into my life and literally saved my home! After working from home for 2 years with kids remote learning our home became a drop zone for everything. Nothing had a place to live and junk kept piling up no matter how hard I tried to purge and organize. SOS was hired mainly for my office. Laura made me feel like my world was going to change and she was completely right!! Upon the office being almost done I set her free on the rest of my home!! I have never felt so good in my home as I do now!! She made my kitchen into the farm to table atmosphere that I have always envisioned but never had time to execute on my own! My kids love their new room and are keeping it tidy and organized! I would highly recommend SOS to shift any space into the room you never want to leave!"

  • "When my wife told me she had partnered with a company to organize our home, I was a little confused as I know what a good organizer she is. It was at that moment something came to mind - if you could do it yourself, you would have by now. What my wife needed was direction, a partner to work with and someone who could afford her the time to get it done. We found all these things and so much more in Laura, the visionary behind Shift Organizing Solutions. Laura is lovely, a pleasure to be around and keeps you on task every time. In no time we had our basement organized, toys in functional spaces and bins labelled. Next was the garage, which Laura gladly took on with a smile and enthusiasm. The investment to engage Laura is of tremendous value. If you require a shift to your space, looking to get organized or require a flow solution, look no further than Laura and Shift Organizing Solutions."

  • “SOS did a complete makeover of two different pantries in my house. Let’s just say, if you are hesitating on hiring Laura…DON’T! She has turned two very cluttered areas of my home into organized, labelled, chaos-free spaces. Everything has a space, which means everything goes back into that space. Laura’s system is so easy to maintain - she definitely has a gift!! She was quick to respond to messages, she listened and took time to value my opinions on what worked with our family, and her end product is spectacular. I highly recommend SOS and her services!!”

  • "Laura was a god send to us! She took a stock room that has been neglected for over 10 years and turned it into something 100% usable. She came prepared with great ideas and offered solutions when we highlighted our problem areas. She also researched helpful products for the space. We cannot wait to have her back in the new year to tackle another space for us. Thank you again Laura!"

  • "Laura helped me organize one of the most problematic areas in my home. She helped me turn a catch all reach in closet into a functional space. During our virtual consultation she asked me the right questions to determine what I really wanted and needed out of the space. She walked me through the entire process, spent time looking at pictures, giving constructive feedback and gave clear instructions on how to achieve my goals. The closest has stayed organized and functional ever since."

    — Laura K., Orangeville

  • "Laura provided me with a virtual organizing serssion and is fantastic to work with. During our phone consultation she gave me simple to follow step by step instructions. She was available to answer all of my questions and took the time receive video and pictures of my progress in. She gave me with real time feedback and guidance in order to get the results I was looking for. I couldn't have done it without her. I recommend her expertise and experience for any size project”.

  • "“Phew, that was easy! I have to start off by saying that Laura is fantastic! I struggled to compete my basement storage, kids toys storage and garage storage/organization for years, until I hired Laura. Working with Laura was an absolute pleasure. She was the partner I didn’t know I needed. Laura and I worked so efficiently together that we executed each task seamlessly. The only thing that would’ve been better, is if I had met Laura sooner. My home is finally completely organized and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Laura of S.O.S for all of your help.”

  • “SOS has been a godsend to our business. After two busy years of gym equipment sales, our store was in complete disarray and chaos. From day one Laura had a vision for our store and worked with us on building better organizational habits, one of her best pieces of advise being: “Don’t put it down, put it back”. In only Three Days, Laura managed to completely transform our storefront into a proper retail store that would give our customers the atmosphere we’ve been striving for. We would absolutely recommend her services for anyone looking to get more organized. Thank You, Laura!"”

  • "I reached out to Laura a month ago to help us get a handle on our mess of a garage. It was out of control, she was amazing. She helped us transform our space back into an organized state that could be used instead of a catch-all and drop situation. I would highly recommend her services. We couldn't thank her enough."

  • "We live in a cozy little cottage type house built in the early 60s. By the time we had our third child I was ready to leave. I've always said we have enough square feet but the house just isn't the right layout...Well then we had baby number four and covid happened so how on earth could we find a house that we could afford…Lucky for me my girlfriend just got her house organized from Laura, and gave me the grand tour of her picture perfect home! So obviously I called Laura right away to save me from my hell hole my little minions and I have created! Laura has an amazing eye for design we gave her the idea’s we had for the kid’s rooms and she brought them to life. She helped me love my home again. My children are now able to clean the whole toy room in under 10 minutes because there is less toys and everything has a home! Before it would take a solid 45 minutes with my help and then we'd all be too overwhelmed to keep going so it was never clean or tidy! Now their rooms are NEVER DIRTY! Did I mention that their 7, 6, 4 and 2 AND THEY CLEAN THEIR ROOMS THEMSELVES! That was just a fantasy for me prior to Laura coming it was just a cluster cluster of a mess! That was my life until now! We still have a way to go with laundry and me staying out of the stores (super guilty of retail therapy) but every time I’ve gone shopping in the past two weeks has been amazing because my whole house is organized now so I know what we have and where it is so I'm actually saving money now when we shop also when I'm shopping if something won't have a home I just don't get it! My new favourite thing to do is “decant” all my kitchen items after grocery shopping it's so pretty and makes it so the kids can get their own snacks! I love love love Laura and can't wait for her to do my laundry room when we’re done renovating it. I honestly am not kidding when I say I will be calling her every season to help keep this place in order! She is well worth the money she just helped us save $500,000.00 from moving Adam thanks you for this LOL! Thank you Laura can't wait to reconnect with you in the fall xoxo"

  • "I sought SOS’s assistance in the reorganization of my walk-in closet. Laura tackled the project with enthusiasm, professionalism, and consideration, all while keeping in mind my budget. She offered numerous alternatives, sourced out very appropriate product and helped me edit my clothes respectfully. I was amazed by her quick efficiency. The end product is not only beautiful but incredibly functional. I will now be able to convert my winter wardrobe to summer with only a few minor changes. The whole experience was wonderful. I no longer want to keep the closet door closed! I would highly recommend her services."

  • "Laura was a great mixture of professional and friendly! I enjoyed the process and was even able to let go of some serious junk that was piling up. It’s true - organizing a space that causes you a headache every time you look at it really does make you feel instantly better! Thanks Laura!"

    — Trina D., Barrie

  • "This was the best thing I could have done! It really helped me control the living room chaos that can ensue with two littles. Laura helped us create a system that not only eases clean up time, but also helps the littles take control of their space too. Not only does it look and feel more streamlined, it really helps alleviate my own stress about the space. Spending a day with Laura got the fire ignited and I already want to look at the next area of the house. It was such an eye opening, satisfying experience! "
