A Supportive Approach to Organizing & Decluttering

Hi! I’m Carrie, professional home organizer and owner of The Marshall Method. I believe most people aren’t disorganized—they’re overwhelmed. My clients have experienced years of accumulated decisions, life transitions, and busy schedules which make even simple spaces feel heavy. My home decluttering and organizing services focus on creating breathing room first. From there, we build practical, personalized systems that support how you actually live…always without judgment or pressure, and at your pace.

What You Will Feel After Working with The Marshall Method

  • Lighter, Clearer

    Clients often tell me the biggest change isn’t just their space. It’s how they feel. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s a calm, functional space that supports you.

  • More Capable

    Clients say it’s not the bins, letter sorters, or other organizing aids that make their life easier. It’s how they move throughout the day. The solution isn’t a “one-size-fits-all”; it’s highly-personalized organizing methods that streamline your routines and simplify decision-making.

What Clients Are Saying

  • WHOLE HOME | DECLUTTERING & ORGANIZING | WAUNAKEE, WI

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “We worked with Carrie to begin our home‑organizing journey, and she has been wonderful to partner with. We plan to continue using her services as we make improvements to both our home and how we use our spaces.

    Beyond offering smart, practical ideas for organizing and maximizing each area, Carrie brought an unexpected level of trust, compassion, and zero judgment. She truly listened—how we use our home, what works and what doesn’t, and the stories and memories attached to certain items. She honored all of it. Without critique, she incorporated that information into her recommendations.

    Carrie doesn’t take a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. She personalizes everything, tailoring her suggestions to what will work best for you, your lifestyle, and your home.”

  • WHOLE HOME | DECLUTTERING PRIOR TO MOVE | FITCHBURG, WI

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "I stumbled upon Carrie by conversation and divine intervention. Never could I have imagined the angel brought into my life. Carrie’s company, The Marshall Method, saved me time, money, and my own sanity. Her kindness and dedication to her craft, are exceptional. Carrie is thorough, authentic, and empathetic - understanding the realness that comes with moving and pivoting away from a life that no longer serves you. She’s considerate in her approach - balancing her suggestions of removal while encouraging the goodbye (especially with all the unnecessary stuff). She worked alongside me, reminding me to focus on the person I was becoming and to embrace the new life I was building for my daughter and myself. The fact is that without her I wouldn’t have been able to move on time and as planned, while still remaining on budget and with the energy to start anew. If you’re reading this and thinking that you shouldn’t need extra help, because you should have it together, simply means that you’re doing too much and definitely need the expertise offered by The Marshall Method. As someone who constantly reminds others to give themselves grace, yet has to remind herself to do the same, release your fears and invite Carrie into your life. Honestly, the best money spent in 2025!"

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    "We are beginning to build our house, and we knew we wanted a plan to have all of our belongings assigned spots in our future home. We asked Carrie if she would step outside of her regular scope of work, and design cabinetry for us in order to plan for our future organization needs. She was eager and excited to take on our design work, and she exceeded all expectations designing the cabinetry for our kitchen, laundry room, and mudroom. Her ability to combine functionality with thoughtful design was remarkable. She took the time to understand our lifestyle and ensured that every item had a designated place, creating spaces that are both beautiful and practical. She anticipated our needs in ways we hadn’t even considered, and the end result has completely transformed how we plan to use our home. We couldn’t be more pleased with her professionalism, attention to detail, and innovative approach. We thoroughly enjoyed our meetings with Carrie, and looked forward to talking more than just organization with her. Carrie should add cabinet designer to her resume because she’s that good! We can’t recommend her enough!"
