Minimize to Maximize

Time for Transformation
By minimizing your "stuff," you will MAXIMIZE your...

Time
Know what you have and where it is. Be able to straighten up in a snap if someone pops by unexpectedly.

Joy
Surround yourself with items that do the work they were made to do, bring a burst of happiness when you see them, and fit the person you are now.

Tranquility
Enjoy time spent in your own home where you are able to instantly relax and unwind. Everything is in its place, and you can truly rest.
Working together, you'll create a home that brings you positive energy and crystal-clear focus so you can live your best and fullest life.
By keeping only what you need, use and love, you will free up space ~ physically, mentally, and emotionally ~ to make room for your
promising present and ideal future.
Services
Often it helps to have support when taking on significant tasks. Home organization can feel overwhelming and stressful. It is often hard to even know where to begin. Tamara will work with you to make a plan and guide you as you accomplish your goals.

After an initial discussion and in-home consultation, there are various payment options and package deals (as few as 3 hours - up to 20 hours or more as needed) from which to choose.* Minimize to Maximize is based out of Central Connecticut, and Tamara is happy to travel to work with you.
* There is a 2 hour minimum for every session.
Working together to complete your goal to:
Streamline your home one space at a time
Downsize your home for the next phase of your life journey
Reduce what you have before you sell your home or move to the next one ~ only taking what you use, need and treasure
Clear out jam-packed basements, attics, garages. You might not look at them often, but they do exist!
Additional services we provide:
Removal of donation items
Shredding of confidential documents
Assistance with selling items online
What people are saying...

Fran from Hamden
"Are you wanting to jump on the minimalist bandwagon but don’t know where to start?

Does the name “Marie Kondo” strike fear of loss in your heart instead of joy?

Well, yesterday, my friend Tamara helped me turn my craft storage cave into an organized, accessible supply room! All it took was two hours of asking the right questions, schlepping, and sorting the chaos, and keeping me on task!!

The stuff I found that I don’t need!
The stuff I needed that I couldn’t find!

She’s for hire if you need help!"
Laura from Hamden
"It was tough letting someone in to see the state of things, but I trusted Tamara. We broke it down into small time slots, and once we started it was easy."
Jenni from Wallingford
"Tamara is a pleasure. And she helped me create order from chaos.

My husband would say I am a packrat, I say I like to hold on to treasures. Working with Tamara, I found her process helped me to identify what was essential and what wasn't.

I can't recommend her strongly enough."

~ downsizing to put home on the market ~
"Thank you, thank you, Tamara. I am still amazed how much we accomplished. You really made it possible to do so much together.
Having so many items “re-homed” is truly comforting. It means a lot that belongings that were important to me and my family are being put to good use in new hands."
Meet Tamara
I am Tamara (pronounced like "camera"), owner of Minimize to Maximize. My professional life has centered around helping others and being of service: as a social worker, teacher, librarian, and volunteer for a variety of nonprofits. My key strengths are identifying and solving problems; improving systems and procedures; and building relationships and connecting people. In the home organizing sphere, I bring my compassionate, energetic and supportive self to work alongside you as you create the home that best serves you and your loved ones.

I believe that the world continues to become a better place when we all keep learning and growing to build the most healthy and positive life for ourselves.
