OUR TEAM
Bree Lane joined us in October 2019 and assisted the then-owner, Becky Rogers, until her retirement in 2024. Bree took ownership as of July 1, 2024.
Bree is available to serve ALL our central Illinois market areas, Monday-Friday.
With a deep interest in psychology and human behavior, she aspires to create lasting solutions for every client.
Bree is exceptionally hard-working, authentic, and surprisingly wise beyond her years. Her life experiences have helped her relate to our clients on many different levels.
You are bound to feel renewed after a session with Bree!
Joined us in 2023
Maddie finds great joy in helping others and always shows up with a smile.
Her understanding and gentle nature will make you feel heard while encouraging you to make the tough decisions.
Joined us in March 2021
Donna helps us by answering your calls. She can answer most of your questions, and schedule your sessions, while the organizers are working in the field.
A Boston, MA native, her accent is a delight, but it is her true empathy for lending an ear to our callers that conveys her heart of gold.
To my dearest clients, past and present:
After 16½ years of organizing homes, the time has come to retire from organizing your homes.
I am proud to hand Organize My Clutter over to Bree Lane who will continue to organize your homes. It is a bitter-sweet transition for us both, and I hope you will continue to support Bree in her future success.
I cannot express how much I will treasure your trust in me, and the support of my business for so many years. It has been my pleasure to get to know and help you, and I am so grateful for the friendships and memories you have given me. I can only hope I have given you the same and maybe helped you improve your daily life, even if just a little.
I wish each one of you the very best, and I will truly miss you in the next stages of my life.
Forever Grateful,
Becky ♥
Before starting Organize My Clutter, Becky studied Business Management and Accounting at Eastern Illinois University and worked over twenty years as an office manager and controller in the automotive industry.
Becky has always had a deep passion for organizing things and making lives easier for others. Whether it was in the office, at home, or while helping friends or family, creating better systems to help simplify things, and problem-solving to save time and energy, were always the kind of challenges Becky was willing to take on.
In 2007, after discovering organizing homes and offices was an actual profession, Becky joined NAPO (The National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals, founded in 1985.) NAPO is dedicated to develop, educate, lead, and promote professional organizers and the organizing industry. They set the standard for this now legitimate, educated profession.
In 2013, Becky became a Certified Professional Organizer. The CPO® designation was developed by NAPO and is operated under the auspices of the BCPO (The Board of Certification for Professional Organizers.) BCPO follows the accreditation guidelines set forth by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCAA). "CPOs earn their credential by proving they embody the founding principles, have requisite experience, adhere to the BCPO Code of Ethics, and comprehend the entire Body of Knowledge required to pass the BCPO examination." The CPO® designation is granted only to those meeting these extensive eligibility and testing requirements and proving a strong continued commitment to ethics and education in the organizing industry. Recertification is required every three (3) years by earning 45 or more eligible Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
As of August, 2023, Becky was 1 of only 2 Certified Professional Organizers south of the Chicago-land area in the State of Illinois. There were approximately 504 CPOs world-wide: 494 in the United States, and 25 in the state of Illinois, (23 in Chicago.)
Becky was also a loyal subscriber to ICD (The Institute for Challenging Disorganization) from where she received her Foundation Certificate in Chronic Disorganization and Certificate of Study in Basic Hoarding Issues with the CD Client. ICD provides education and resources to professionals and the public about the psychology and treatment for Chronic Disorganization and Hoarding.
Over the years, Becky worked with hundreds of clients across central Illinois. They included professionals of all types, stay-at-home moms and dads, entrepreneurs, seniors, physically or mentally disabled, and hoarders. She has also spoken and given presentations for groups including various senior groups and clubs, travel clubs, church groups, rotary clubs, mops clubs (moms of preschoolers,) libraries, community education classes (at community colleges,) public seminars, and more.
“... Others have claimed that organizing always seemed to be a natural for me, but I credit my organizing skills to my upbringing. I grew up with a father who instilled work ethic and common sense thinking, while my mother instilled empathy and creativity. Together, these traits have allowed me to connect with clients on a personable level and they have enabled me to teach techniques in a way that is easy to understand and follow.”
