Certified Professional Organizer^® in Houston

Meet MJ
Your Certified Professional Home Organizer in Houston

Smart Systems. Real Life. A Little Sass.

Hi, I'm MaryJo. I am a Certified Professional Organizer, a lifelong Houstonian, and the kind of person who will cheer you on as I help you finally sort through that mystery drawer you have been avoiding. Practical organizing systems that actually stick are my calling card for those trying to do it all.

My clients are busy people who are already managing so much. They are capable and creative, but completely worn out from trying to keep everything running. If that hits home, you are in the right place. I am here to make things easier, lighter, and more doable.

Working with me feels like calling in a friend who just happens to love creating order and is really good at it. There is no judgment. Just real help, good ideas, and probably a few laughs along the way.

What You Can Expect:

• Personalized Plans

No one else is like you. That is why I start by understanding how your home works, how your days flow, and where things tend to pile up. Every solution is made to fit your life, not someone else's idea of what your life should look like.

• A True Partnership

This is a team effort. I bring the know-how and the fresh eyes. You bring your priorities. Together, we solve the problems keeping you from living your best life.

• Creative + Budget-Savvy Options

The only thing I like less than a pushy salesperson is being one. I will never push you to buy expensive products you do not need. I will show you smart, functional, and beautiful options that fit your style and the function is worthy of the expense.

• Respectful, Real Support

No fluff, no perfection pressure, and absolutely no judgment. I am here to support and empower you with kindness, accountability, and sometimes a compassionate ear or laugh to help make the process exactly what you need.

• Long-Term Support

Life changes, and your home should be able to change with it. I offer ongoing support to keep things running well, even as your routines evolve.

A Little More About Me

I have lived in the Houston Heights my whole life, and I love it here. When I am not organizing, you will find me tending to my succulents, volunteering at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, or treasure-hunting for unique fashion. I am the kind of person who always says yes to pizza and has an opinion on rodeo style.

Organized by MJ came to life after years in the corporate world. Layoffs opened the door to something better. I am passionate about helping my clients feel more comfortable at home and in better control of their lives. For more than a decade, I have loved helping others achieve their goals. In 2024, I completed one of my own by earning my Certified Professional Organizer® credential, a mark of excellence held by only a select few professionals worldwide.

Why Clients Come Back

My mix of empathy, practicality, and fun real-life perspective is what sets me apart. I help you see what is getting in your way, and together we figure out what will actually work – for you.

Whether you're decluttering, organizing your space, preparing for a move, managing paperwork, or tackling a unique project, you'll be amazed at what we accomplish in just one session. I pride myself on my resourcefulness and meticulous attention to detail, giving you a trusted partner who's as committed to your goals as you are.

You know my extensive training always benefits you and your goals. My clients trust my commitment to education and ethics.

Are you ready to feel supported? Are you ready for something better? Are you ready to have fun getting there? Then, my new friend, you have found your place.

Let's get started and do this together!

Fun Facts About MJ

• • The one thing I struggle to declutter is shoes.

• • I never leave home without my bougie water in a big bottle.

Ready to Get Organized?

Professional organizers make their living organizing the homes or offices of their clients. Often, after the initial cleanup, a professional organizer will assist the client with strategies and processes to improve their quality of life, efficiency and overall productivity.

There are plenty of examples of professional organizers in action on a myriad of television shows. Reality-based programs like “Clean Sweep” or “Mission: Organization”, feature the expertise of professional organizers in every episode. Shows like “Hoarding: Buried Alive” and “Hoarders” feature professional organizers working alongside mental health and waste management experts to transform the homes and lives of people that face more severe “organizational adversities”.

Organized by MJ offers professional organizing services for Houston-area homes and businesses alike. No organizational task is too small; closets, offices, filing cabinets, kitchens, pantries, garages, playrooms, bedrooms, are all MJ’s specialty!

MJ is a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing (NAPO) and attends regular conferences to stay on top of the latest trends in time management, productivity and being a conscientious consumer.
