Organizing for real life

Professional home organizer Michelle from Gladly Sorted tidying up a messy kitchen pantry

Life gets messy. Your home doesn’t have to be.

Hi! I’m Michelle, a New York City professional home organizer and founder of Gladly Sorted.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your apartment? Or constantly playing Tetris with your wardrobe or kitchen cabinet? Or maybe you seem to always be looking for things you know you have… somewhere?

You’re not alone — and you don’t have to tackle it alone either. Between work, family, and the everyday shuffle, it’s easy for clutter to take over.

I help busy families and professionals in New York create tidy, organized homes that actually work for real lives.

With a practical, judgment-free approach, I focus on functional solutions that last, so you can spend less time navigating stuff and more time on the people and things that matter.

Let’s get you Gladly Sorted!

Kind Words

  • "Michelle from Gladly Sorted not only decluttered and organized my pantry, but she also gave me tips to how I can continue to keep the space organized! It was such a pleasure working with her from the initial 30mins call to discuss what I wanted done, to going through the actual process and to the email she sent talking about what we had done and the storage solutions that would work best for the space. I need to have her organize my closet next! Money well spent."

  • "WOW! I didn’t know how much a closet makeover could change everything! As a busy Mom, I had ignored our linen closet ever since my daughter was born roughly 3 years ago. Michelle helped me realize that there were so many unused items in my closet (either because of sentimental reasons or pure inertia to go through everything). Michelle’s calm and patient presence helped me decide whether to keep or donate items as an initial step to organizing. Michelle even offered helpful suggestions of donation sites within the neighborhood (e.g. - ASPCA accepts old linens for homeless dogs and cats). One key quote from my experience with Michelle: “If you clear out the items that don’t serve you, you will have an easier time finding the items you do use.” This was fundamental to my understanding of the Gladly Sorted method! I encourage everyone to give Michelle a call and schedule a consultation - not only will your space feel fresh and organized, you will feel freer and more efficient in your day-to-day life. Thanks Michelle, from one Mom to another! Xoxo"

  • "This was exactly what I needed. With Michelle’s expert help through Gladly Sorted, I was finally able to declutter bags of items that had been occupying not just physical space, but mental space too. I’ve always found it hard to part with things, but Michelle reframed my perspectives to let go and recognize that some things have served their purposes in previous seasons. I appreciate her approach: non-judgmental and empathetic - guiding me through each decision with just the right balance of encouragement and practicality. What really stood out was the process: Michelle brought structure to what had always felt like an overwhelming mess. We consolidated everything in one space (to see the volume in its entirety), sorted through the items that I would keep, donate or throw, then re-organized them into themes."

  • "Michelle is a natural and intuitive organizer. She balanced the needs of grown ups and children with respect to our pantry. She understood the task perfectly and went to work quickly. The results speak for themselves! Our children can find their snacks. We love tea and our tea is displayed clearly, in a user-friendly way. Without a doubt, we are going to work with Michelle to organize other parts of our home!"

  • "She introduced a clear, step-by-step method rooted in thoughtful guiding principles - starting with understanding my needs, sorting with intention, and ultimately creating an intuitive system to "re-home" the remaining items. The results have been transformative. I feel lighter and more in control. I no longer dread opening drawers or closets. In fact, I now enjoy using what I own - because I can see everything clearly and know where it belongs. I've expanded this to other aspects of my home like my pantry and art areas now. If you’re considering working with a professional organizer, I can’t recommend Gladly Sorted enough. I truly couldn’t have done this without Michelle's support."
