Process

My approach is to work with respect and mutual understanding to create a "home"  for you that is functional, intuitive and harmonious. While each project is unique the process will include a conversation and implementation.

Chat

We will begin with scheduling a discovery call to discuss initial needs, scope of project and determine mode of service (in-person, virtual or hybrid sessions). Tailored next steps will be put into motion.

Sort & Refresh

Where the project comes alive and the transformation begins. I’ll have fun purging, decluttering, organizing, strategizing and decorating for you.

Create

Aligning with your budget, style and preference, storage solutions/decor will be reviewed, sourced, purchased and implemented. I strive to utilize what you have first, I thrive in getting creative with space.

Testimonials

Room Refresh

I’m so glad I worked with Via Mara. Mara helped me organize and decorate my home office. She handled it all seamlessly and I felt like I could leave it in her hands and take it off my mind, which I really appreciated.

Move Management

Via Mara Lifestyle was an ABSOLUTE LIFESAVER for me!!! after placing my mother in assisted living I gave it a very very good attempt at cleaning out her home me. after spending more than 6 months frustrated and making no headway (never mind the hours crying!) I was given contact information for Via Mara Lifestyle. within 2 weeks it was organized, ready for sale and best of all i was able to look through the belongings of what to hold on to in a much better way. Via Mara also called the moving companies, got quotes, boxed it all up including many large pieces of Art(also categorized into a book) and then facilitated the move into a storage unit!!!since then I have had Via Mara many other times organize various projects and she will soon begin helping out move to another home.i cannot recommend Via Mara Lifestyle more highly!!!!

Move Management

Mara was amazing!! We moved from our two bedroom apartment to a townhouse, and she helped us sort our kitchen and master bathroom in a way that functioned best for us. She also went to homegoods and shopped for organizers that were in our budget. Our new home feels so clean, organized, and put together. Additionally, Mara is so friendly, kind, and easy to chat with. We actually had fun unpacking and getting everything together. I definitely recommend.

Declutter & Organize

When an elderly relative wanted to return home following a fall and rehab, the goal was to create a safe space for her to do so. Time was short and the task was large. Mara came to the rescue. She immediately set to work to make the necessary spaces more functional. With patience and empathy, she respectfully guided us to make decisions about what could be removed or donated and then magically organized what needed to stay. Her approach and efficiency was a great comfort in a challenging situation.

Room Refresh

It was a joy to work with Mara! Her interest, passion, and expertise in "home refresh" made the entire project a delight. Mara was so flexible and accommodating to my preferences, timeframe, budget, and changing needs. She was able to suggest simple changes to a room's layout that made a huge difference in functionality and style. Her research skills are top notch and she identified a range of products in a range of prices-- saved me lots of time and thought of items I hadn't considered. Mara asks lots of good questions, doesn't impose her ideas on you, and is fun, friendly and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend her!

Move Management

Mara was a very big help to me when I was preparing to move. Even though I lived in a studio apartment, I had tons of stuff that had to either be gotten rid of or organized to bring to my new home. I had lived there for 47 years! Mara came in and immediately set to work. She was wonderful at organizing things in groups and also a big help by bringing the unwanted items to a thrift shop for me. She did all this in a cheerful manner and we had some fun. All in all, it was a great experience to work with her. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help to pack and clean out for a move.
