Lauren Flinte

Lead Organizer + Owner
I'm Lauren, your ultimate resource for identifying the causes and correcting the symptoms of disorganization. With a background in special education (learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury, ADD/ADHD), psychology, and financial management, I've partnered with hundreds of men, women, and teens to bring time, energy, and balance into their lives. I provide hands-on organizing services for homes and offices as well as conduct workshops for paper and time management. 

I am a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) and Preferred Organizer Association (POA), which provide specialized and ongoing education to professional organizers​. Beyond this training, I've gone on to achieve the NAPO Specialist certifications in residential organizing and workplace productivity. 

In my free time, I like to go exploring with my husband Brian and our two girls, work on jigsaw puzzles, and research. I can't wait to share my excitement and expertise with you!

Brittany Sipe

Moving + Craft Room Specialist
I'm Brittany! Has life ever tossed you a curve ball or maybe rained lemons? You aren't alone. Sometimes life doesn't feel like it makes sense, but I can promise you that whatever you're going through will ultimately equip you for something better in the future. 

Having moved 7 times in the last 6 years through 4 states surely wasn't fun, but it taught me so much about space and the stuff that fills it. 

Thanks to my eye for design and that art education background of mine, I'll not only help you downsize your space, but I'll help you stage your home so that it will sell as soon as possible! My husband is the Buyers' Specialist for Hamilton & Co. Keller Williams, one of the top real estate companies in town, and I am the Assistant Listing Manager. Together, we make sure your moving experience is as smooth (and pleasant) as possible. Following closing, the Clutter Coach team and I will unpack your home so that you start off with everything in the right place.

Chelsea Carabo

Home + Pantry Specialist
Hi, I’m Chelsea! When I’m not spending time with my hubby and our two youngins, you can probably find me staring into a drawer, wondering how it could be organized more efficiently with my label maker in hand. I have been addicted to organizing ever since I can remember.

In early 2014, I began to realize the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. I went on to become a Holistic Health Coach through the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute and became passionate about sharing what I learned with others. Rather than just focusing on physical health, holistic health focuses on the person as a whole and how he or she interacts within their environment. If your environment is cluttered, optimal wellness is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. Through my health coaching, I have been able to to help clients clean out and organize their kitchens and pantries, all while teaching them why they should consider getting rid of certain items, and how to replace them with healthier alternatives. ​

I combined my passions for organizing and healthy living by joining the Upstate Clutter Coach team. Whether it's a garage, children's playroom, or your kitchen, I can't wait to partner with you.

Our Philosophy

Clutter
Clutter is anything that you don't use, need, or love. These things have no specific home and, overtime, tend to fade into the background of other clutter. Clutter costs you time (wasted searching for the things you need and love), emotion (holding onto things that you feel you can't live without despite not touching them in the last five years), and money (paying for an entire room in your home that isn't serving its intended purpose every month when your mortgage statement arrives). Ultimately, clutter prevents you from achieving your goals no matter how great or small. It interrupts meaningful, positive relationships. It traps you in its dusty grip.

Clients
Every person is unique and so are you. Your previous experiences and current season of life affect your time and ability to get (and stay) organized. The Coach's approach to quelling the clutter and getting you back to the life you want to live is simple: recall the vision for your life and determine if your possessions are helping or hurting your pursuit of life to the fullest. You might only need a fresh perspective on the things crowding out your space and your life. Or you might need someone to come alongside to encourage you during this transition and teach you organizing strategies that you can apply to other spaces in your home and professional life. If time and energy are not on your side, you might benefit most by allowing the Clutter Coach to do the entire job for you. Decluttering and organizing is more than just dealing with the stuff; it's about freeing you from the things that are holding you back.
