Jenny is so kind and patient with us. At the beginning, we knew we needed help with folded laundry with no home or dark closet mysteries, but we quickly realized that so many things were actually out of place and making the room less peaceful – bookshelves looming over the bed, wire racks, and tight corners. Jenny helped us prioritize how to use existing furniture and make some smart purchases such that we now have a whole zone of the bedroom for lounging and reading books that feels totally separate from the sleeping zone. We really feel like Jenny made us a whole extra room in the house, and months-on, none of the problems have come back. The systems we built with Jenny have been durable.
We are so happy with the results from the bedroom project that we are going to continue with our office and kitchen. If you are looking for help taming your spaces and making them work for you, An Organized Life is a great choice!
Austin BourgerieHiring MJ was one of the best decisions I’ve made in the last few years. She is professional but very personable. She listens carefully and patiently and her questions and suggestions are always insightful and deeply empathetic.
We’ve tackled the garage (still orderly and fits both cars a year later), mountains of papers (grad school, children, health care, renovation), and “dead zone” rooms that had become receptacles for abandoned projects and the Stuff you don’t want to deal with.
I do not want to purge my belongings and memories, and MJ has helped me clarify for myself what attachments I want to value and what I can let go. She is patient and helps steer you through your own thinking.
She is environmentally conscious and works with me to divert what we can from the landfills, how to repair and repurpose more effectively, and to organize my home in a way that I can see and know what I already have.
Choosing to call for professional assistance was a big deal, and I talked myself out of it a number of times.
I wish I had called MJ and her team years ago!
harmony whofor our time together and I often credit MJ for the incredible strides that have been made to create an easier way of life for my family of four. MJ helps me think through spaces in my home in a unique way and always provides a fresh perspective. She’s an excellent listener, is extremely knowledgeable about the philosophy of organizing as well as the psychology behind human behavior. MJ has a warm personality and also has a killer eye for interior style and design. In fact, I had hired interior designers after I had started working with MJ and once they saw her work, the designers were quick to include her in the design process as well. My day to day life has become so much more clear and happy since working with MJ. I recommend her to anyone and everyone.Lauren Gibbons
Each year she puts my Holiday decor up and I arrive home to a winter wonderland! MJ has given me much more than “An Organized Life ” she gave me MY LIFE back!
Without a doubt, hiring “An Organized Life ” is the best decision I made 6 years ago. She will bring amazing value to your life long after she leaves.
I have the highest respect and admiration for MJ Rosenthal.
Some services you can’t afford NOT to have!
Holly RoseMJ has been working with my mom for many years at this point. During that time, she has offered ongoing organizational coaching, as well as assistance on the occasional big project, such as helping my mother downsize from her home of twenty years to an apartment.
MJ is someone I trust completely, and is also someone who I like very much. She offers the dream package of skill, rock solid reliability, and interpersonal care. She is an excellent and consistent communicator. What she says she will do she does, and she cuts no corners. It is always evident that she values her clients and that she is passionate about her work.
You can’t go wrong here. Work with MJ and An Organized Life. It’s been a fabulous experience!
Bear SecundaThe Organized Life team managed all aspects of the move by handling all planning and logistics: soliciting quotes from movers, locking down contracts, helping with packing and storage needs, etc. They also anticipated and took care of smaller, though no less important items such as address updates, moving utilities, and even finding a pet-friendly hotel that was needed for a night between homes! I especially appreciated MJ’s ability to ensure we were getting good deals from other vendors involved in the process, and her ability to quickly flex up the amount of support when we needed more hands – she was able to bring additional team members into the picture to ensure we stayed on track.
Having gone through a few moves of my own, I assumed all moves are guaranteed to be chaotic. I’m happy to have been proven wrong – MJ and her team brought control and calm to a hectic situation, which in turn gave us confidence that our MIL was in good hands. She thought of all angles and managed the entire process – start to finish – expertly.
Joe NunzianteWe could not have transitioned our parents out of their home without the expertise of MJ and her team! After over 50 years in their large family home it was time to move our parents into a smaller home closer to us. Organized Life supported us through the entire process. They did all the leg work and took a huge amount of stress away from a very difficult and complex situation. Worth every penny!!
THANK YOU ORGANIZED LIFE -MJ & TEAM!!Robin Seidman
MJ has a unique gift for meeting you exactly where you are. She creates a safe, grounded space that’s both compassionate and structured, allowing for growth, reflection, and real change. She doesn’t just give advice, she helps you understand yourself. She helped me recognize that I’m a verbal processor and guided me in building systems and routines that actually work for how my mind and life flow. Her ability to reframe challenges, offer context, and walk beside you with such insight is unmatched.
Through her coaching, I discovered how much being organized and having a clear structure could change my life. It wasn’t about being perfect, it was about being aligned. Her tools, wisdom, and steady belief in me helped me unlock my own magic, even during seasons when I couldn’t see it myself.
Now, I run my own business centered around productivity and life balance, and so much of the foundation I teach came from what I learned with MJ. She is not only an amazing organizer and coach, she is a visionary, a guide, and one of the best partners you could have on your journey.
I recommend MJ without hesitation, whether you’re seeking support with organization, life transitions, or business growth. She will meet you with kindness, clarity, and actionable support that is tailored to you. She’s simply the best.
Aleisha AgardWhen I wanted to expand my practice and needed bookkeeping assistance, I remembered that MJ also is very knowledgeable about QuickBooks and helps with organization in that way. We have worked together for about 9 months now in that capacity. She is typically very quick although when she has a busy period she always lets me know. Her work is meticulous and her prices are fair. My life is more organized and more beautiful thanks to MJ’s excellent skills and calm demeanor. I highly recommend her.
Mary LaCivitaShe is a joy to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I want to pass along how much we enjoy working with Emily and Sasha. We collectively accomplished so much today! And a big surprise was [another room] which was not part of the original plan. After working with my husband for a long time, Emily indicated Sasha was available to help me in there. The room was a mess because the holidays all run together and we were so busy, I didn’t have time to put things away properly. Sasha and I did that today and it’s 90% organized!
They are efficient, pleasant to be with, energetic – etc. They make organizing fun. We look forward to the continued partnership.
MJ helped our company define an efficient, cost-effective system for storage and retrieval. Now everything is stored away safely – and we know where to find the old and store the new. MJ is a joy to work with and I recommend her highly.
MJ is positive and upbeat. She makes the experience of de-cluttering enjoyable, works with your individual needs, and is very non-judgmental.
When my seller client said she had to leave town unexpectedly for a family emergency, and was not sure how she would be able to get her condo organized and ready for sale, the first person I thought who could help was MJ Rosenthal from An Organized Life.
MJ brought her team of professionals to the property to get the job done. My seller should be extremely pleased with the results. As a realtor working in the field for the past 10+ years, I would not hesitate to recommend MJ to any of my seller clients who would like to use her services for organizing or home staging. Now, I know that I can get my job finished as well. Thank you!
I needed help organizing our entire house – MJ did a great job working with me to bring this about. Now things are where they need to be and a year later, the system is still working. That is the real test of any organizing effort! I highly recommend MJ.
Starting your own business can be an intimidating process. Staying focused and organized can be one of the greatest challenges. I was lucky to connect with MJ. As my accountability partner, she kept me on track during one of the most stressful times of my life.
As our children got older, our Nanny’s responsibilities changed. MJ showed us how to transition our Nanny to House Manager, provided training for all of us, and a systematic way of checking in to keep the house running smoothly.
I have ADD and have always struggled with getting things done. MJ was the first person that really understood what I was experiencing. She showed me how to create organization based on my strengths. I am so lucky to have found her.
Our work is making my life better!
I cannot thank Taryn enough for what she helped me accomplish. I knew I needed professional guidance to organize certain spaces in my house and Taryn made this process as smooth as possible for me and my family.
An Organized Life helped us with our corporate business; she completed a wide range of tasks professionally and with due diligence.
My son’s bar mitzvah party was perfect because of MJ. Her creativity, flexibility and hands-on approach made the planning easy and the event flow without a hitch. All we had to do was enjoy the evening while she took care of all the details. MJ made the event a complete success!
My family has said your name with such praise so many times over. Everything I have learned from you has been our saving grace this week.
I had to stay in Oregon until my father’s passing. The day before I knew I had to say goodbye, I sent the girls and Josh away and I reorganized our pantry. Clear Container Store bins labels and all (I’ll take a picture when I go back to Oregon). It was cathartic.
Since I arrived in Belmont on Monday night, there has literally been nothing for us to do (except for me racing to find COVID tests). There are no services because of COVID and no real gatherings. With everyone’s blessing, I was able to use this time to remove a majority of my dad’s belongings and knew, from you, that it’s important to remove the donation bags in one fell swoop. This brought my mother and I great relief. The past few days when we have felt up to it, I have begun to tackle my parents basement, using what I have learned from you sorting like with like, consolidating into neat labeled boxes and pairing down the many unnecessary old items. It is has been a project that has kept us occupied and is making us feel better. I am so utterly grateful for all of our time together. While I will forever learn from you and will always need organizational help, I have also picked up skills from you that I know how to independently implement and be of service to my family and others. This week, in particular, it has been our saving grace. I want to let you know how special you are and how much you have helped make this terrible week bearable.
Thank you for the excellent seminar. Everyone had a wonderful time, learned so much and truly enjoyed your levity. You are a great presenter and I would highly recommend you for a corporate seminar.
Thank you so much! I sat at my computer yesterday and couldn’t believe that I was looking at clear space instead of boxes!
MJ is committed to confidentiality, respectful of boundaries and aware of what it means to be invited into your personal space. Because of MJ’s approach, our sessions are productive and totally without stress or self-judgment!
MJ was invaluable in helping us declutter and stage our home for sale. She organized everything to go into storage and then brought it back and organized it in preparation for the estate sale. MJ and her team were professional, efficient and made this overwhelming process manageable.
MJ made creative suggestions that I would never have thought of! Now each time I walk into the basement, I get a peaceful feeling!
Aiste was so helpful. Her suggestions were on point. I have some homework to do before we meet again. Very happy with this first visit. Thanks.
MJ worked with me at my office and home to help bring total organization to my space. She really listened and understood my needs. I cannot express in words how much she has helped make my life easier.
MJ brought organization to our clutter and provided peace where there was once anxiety. It felt like she gave us an addition to our kitchen because she gave us our countertops back! For the first time in years my family knows where to find things!
This is awesome! Thank you so much! I really enjoyed reading through the process we will use to get me more organized. I love the suggestions. Thank you for providing such a detailed plan! I need to review more thoroughly. I’m excited!
“I love having a beautifully decorated home, but I travel a lot before the holidays. MJ decorated for me, creating a festive and beautiful environment. MJ’s décor was perfect. After, as she took it down she organized everything and stored it away for next year. MJ made my holiday easy, stress-free and totally enjoyable.
MJ helped staged my house for sale – buyers actually asked the Agent if the seller was a decorator because everything looked so nice! We received 2 offers and accepted an offer $13,000 over asking price. All the hard work was worth it!
