Hello!
My name is Eva Loomis and I love organizing. I started Nest in 2016 to share with others the joys that can come from organizing.
I live in a tiny house in central Vermont and am fascinated with the schedules we choose to keep and the relationships with our possessions and their purpose, design, usefulness, and place in our lives.
Ever since I was young, I've had a proclivity for organizing and tidying, though I stifled it for a time because I was embarrassed by how "square" it seemed. I began embracing my inner neat freak when I realized that it was a key component of my personal path towards freedom and simplicity (and just in my nature!).
My background is in affordable housing and social and human services (including serving as an Executive Director for a Habitat for Humanity affiliate). I believe that everyone not only deserves to have a place to call home, but that home be a place of comfort, safety, security, and refuge.
Now, I help others find and embrace their inner organizer so they may find more comfort and function, both in their physical/exterior spaces and internally.
I appreciate the fact that as individuals, we all have different priorities and organizational and life goals, and I want to enable my clients to achieve their own.
Organizing isn't about tossing out most of your belongings or becoming a minimalist. It's not even necessarily only about objects either, and it is certainly not about what my aspirations are for your areas of concern.
Rather, it's about you. It's about making the systems and interactions in your life with objects, data, time (and sometimes people) work for you so you can begin to focus on what’s truly important to you.
My role as a personal organizer is to provide client-centered context; to fuel and facilitate the process; and to pass on my organizing knowledge. I bring patience, gentleness, tenderness, understanding, and a nonjudgmental perspective to present information in a way that allows the client to make informed decisions and choices during the organizing process.
Some say our outside world is a reflection of our inner world; as within, so without. Discover what orderliness and organization can do for you!
