Hi, I’m Niecy, the heart behind Nice & Neat with Niecy. My journey into professional organizing began not with a business plan, but through a deeply personal experience that reshaped my life. Someone I love dearly, a person I hold close to my heart, struggled with hoarding. Over time, their home, once a place of comfort, became overwhelmed with belongings and memories they couldn’t part with. Eventually, the City of Chicago deemed the home uninhabitable, calling it a public danger. Watching them lose their home—and knowing there was little I could do to stop it, was heartbreaking.
Hoarding is more than just clutter. For my loved one, every item held emotional significance, memories, possibilities, even dreams. But as the weight of those things grew, they began to lose control, and their home became unmanageable. I learned firsthand how possessions, once a source of comfort, can turn into a burden. This experience stayed with me, sparking a deep commitment to help others before they find themselves in a similar situation.
That chapter of my life made me realize something powerful: We all have the capacity to heal, and one way we heal is by helping others. Some do it with music, others with art, medicine, or kind words. My path to healing and helping others is through professional organizing. It’s not just about putting things in order, it’s about creating peace, restoring dignity, and empowering people to reclaim their lives and their spaces.
At Nice & Neat with Niecy, I’ve learned that clutter often carries emotional weight. It can represent memories, unfinished plans, or the need for control. My approach to organizing is rooted in empathy, patience, and understanding. I meet my clients where they are, without judgment, and guide them through the process of letting go and creating new systems. Whether it’s redesigning a closet or tackling an entire home, the transformation isn’t just physical, it’s emotional.
We all have a mission to bring healing to the world. Some heal with words, others with touch, and some through the arts or medicine. For me, healing happens through organizing. There’s something sacred about transforming a cluttered, overwhelming space into a serene haven. An organized space can inspire clarity of mind and a renewed sense of peace.
Through my work, I aim to empower clients not just to organize their homes, but to reclaim their peace of mind. Organizing is about more than creating a tidy space, it’s about creating a life that feels balanced and intentional.
I share this story not just to explain my journey but to remind you that you are not alone. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your space or unsure where to start, I want you to know that there is hope. It’s okay to ask for help, and together, we can create a space that reflects the peace and clarity you deserve.
Let’s take that first step toward healing, together.
With love and gratitude,
Niecy
