I’m a born organizer.
It’s in my DNA.

Before becoming a professional organizer, I spent more than 30 years working in
marketing as a project manager at agencies and large corporations. My work required
strong organizational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage many moving
parts — all while keeping projects on track.

Outside of work, organizing was always second nature. I was helping friends and family
and keeping life running smoothly while raising two very busy daughters. Staying
organized wasn’t about perfection. It was about making everyday life function better,
with less stress and more ease.

When I decided to turn my passion for organizing into a business, I became a Trained
Professional Organizer through Professional Organizers in Canada (POC). Today, I
bring that training, along with my structure, problem-solving mindset and calm
approach, into my work with clients. When I’m organizing, I am genuinely in my happy
place.

I understand that inviting someone into your home can feel uncomfortable. My approach
is respectful, non-judgmental and discreet. Every home has a story, and confidentiality
is always respected.

What I love most about this work is seeing the relief clients feel when their home starts
working better for them. Clearing clutter creates space — not just physically, but
mentally too — and helps people feel more comfortable and in control of their
surroundings.

I look forward to helping you experience that feeling.

"An overwhelming move was effortless and even fun"

Samantha
"Hiring Filomena of Organizing Contessa was the best decision I made when I had to move out for a renovation. My family and I had been in our house for 18 years and the amount we needed to wade through was overwhelming. Filomena arrived all ready to work. She is so organized, full of helpful tips, lovely to work with and fun. She made the hours together go by so effortlessly. Highly recommend."

"Turned my messy closet into lasting order and clarity"

Karen
"Filomena works magic! I was overwhelmed by my messy closet, not knowing where to start. I had already done a clothing purge and I still could not see beyond the clutter. Fil's approach was excellent; she asked what my end goal was, guided me through steps to get there and I was/am thrilled with the outcome, which I am happy to share has been sustained! I highly recommend her services for projects big or small!"

"Created order, peace, and smart use of space that lasts"

Susan
"Filomena was extremely productive and helpful. She can visualize a better use of space and where things ‘should go’! I learned a lot which I have applied after her session. She was very effective in creating order, calm and peace to the spaces, help to declutter and with decision making. This is a very worthwhile investment if you have any issues with clutter or are feeling overwhelmed."

“She is very good at what she does — a great observer with amazing attention to detail.”
