our story

get your stuff together - GYST

gist-94.jpg

With 18+ years of experience caring for kids and homes of active, busy families (Liz)  and a multitude of lessons learned from local contractors, builders, and designers during more than a few remodels and moves (Melissa)  - we became great friends with a shared obsession - coordinating, organizing, and yes, when necessary,

reducing all the stuff!

 

Over the years, we knew we could put our experience and expertise to work for others - help them look with fresh eyes at how they live and what works and doesn't work for them.  Then, get them organized in a smart, simple way. Not just for the sake of streamlining, but so they can think, be productive and breathe.

 

As Covid-19 created restrictions for all of us, we walked and talked more than usual. We wondered how families were faring with everyone at home and how they were managing the mess.  Oh, the mess!

You're getting the GYST. And we're getting psyched to work with you!

Liz (left) may be from New Jersey originally, but she definitely is a Cali girl at heart. She loves hot yoga, is a sucker for the latest skincare apparatus, and is known by friends and family as an expert bargain shopper!

Melissa (right) is a Minnesota original (you betcha!), the youngest of 12 children, and asks lots of questions!

She loves the cool yoga, a good who-dunnit podcast, and spending time with her family.
