Lauren FlinteLead Organizer + ADHD Coach

I'm Lauren, your ultimate resource for identifying the causes and correcting the symptoms of disorganization. With a background in special education (BS in Multi-Categorical Special Ed 2006), 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, life coaching for ADHD and executive function challenges, 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, as well as HIPAA certification. I've completed over 100 hours of ADHD knowledge and coaching skills training through the ADD Coach Academy since the summer of 2019. I'm seeking ADHD Life Coach credentialing through the International Coach Federation (ICF) and Professional Association for ADHD Coaches (PAAC). 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!

Chelsea CaraboVirtual Organizing 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 in 2017. Whether it's a garage, children's playroom, or your kitchen, I can't wait to partner with you. My Favorite Organizing Products Are: |
Julie FremontHome + Moving Specialist
|
Hi, I’m Julie, an empty-nester with a knack for putting things in order!
As the daughter of an Army chaplain, I moved a dozen times before graduating from college and 9 more times since getting married. Whew! As a result I’m no stranger to packing up and decluttering a home! I love decorating, organizing and cleaning so that my surroundings are fresh and welcoming to all who enter my space. When I’m not with clients, my time is spent caring for elderly parents, hiking, riding horses, reading and last, but definitely not least, visiting my children and grandkids! I joined Upstate Clutter Coach in February 2018. |
Ellen BradshawOrganizing Assistant

Hi, I'm Ellen! Usually I can be found on a hike with my puppy, checking out a new restaurant in downtown Greenville, or figuring out the most efficient way to organize a space for a family member!
In May of 2019 I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington with a bachelors in Psychology. My background in this field has helped me see the true importance of maintaining a healthy state of mind. I have found that when I help others organize their spaces, they feel that they have a clearer mindset and that they can accomplish more with a clean and organized space to work in. I am excited to join the Upstate Clutter Coach team and work with you on finding the best organizing system for your home! |
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.
