I have helped friends and family with their homes, and planned numerous large events within my community. After having 3 daughters, all involved socially, in sports and Girl Scouts, I realized that organization was an absolute must. By the Grace of God I found Major Mom, or it found me, and my life has been changed forever. I get to help people everyday, liberating and releasing them from their pain, AND I get paid for it. The complete elation on a client's face after we have organized any room in their home is beyond words and an affirmation of my soul. Not only am I helping people, and making money, but I also get to scratch my "Organizing Itch". If this sounds anything like you, come join the ranks and become a Major Mom Liberator, but beware, your life will forever be changed too!"

March 2013 | "The Major Mom academy was a great experience. I was very nervous going in and a little concerned I'd be out of place, but I felt welcomed and comfortable right away. I learned so much about organizing and had a ton of fun doing it! I won't regret the time and energy I spent on the Major Mom academy and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the organizing industry."

October 2012 | "The Major Mom Academy was like no other job training I have received. It was a very intense, information packed week, after which I felt very prepared to begin my career as a Major Mom Liberator. Looking back I realize now how fortunate I was to have received the training I did from all the great instructors at Major Mom. They are the best!
Angelia
October 2012 | "The Major Mom Academy was definately worth the price. To have a week devoted to learning from 2 of the 7 CPO's in the state not only prepared me for the first organizing job I received, but it also confirmed to me that this was the career I wanted. Strangers, neighbors, and family all commented to me that I was glowing the week of the Academy. I grew personally and felt excited to join a team of people who shared the same passions with me."
Cathy
October 2011 | "The Major Mom Academy was to the T organized. Each day was planned out with care; the information given was relevant to the Professional Organizer profession. Mandy and Angela have an amazing energy, both very energetic, entertaining and thought provoking. Mandy and Angela are genuine, caring, and authentic. They want nothing more than to create a company that empowers their liberators to become successful. And to create successful liberators to help the clients. They are amazing instructors, keep the class on their feet, facilitated growth in each one of us, allowed us into their personal lives, and shared amazing, and embarrassing stories, letting us know they were human too."
Malissa
October 2011 | "Major Mom Academy is by far the best, most thorough and interesting job training I've ever participated in. Every day is packed with vital training information that not only leaves you feeling well-prepared but also inspires new goals and self-growth within. Each training day was a thought-provoking experience! Major Mom Academy arms its Apprentice Liberators with resources, newfound knowledge, a rock solid support system, and the ability to take that step beyond simply having the "organizing gene" to being able to use that gift professionally to change others' lives."

February 2011 | "The Major Mom Academy is very carefully planned and gave me all the tools, physically and mentally to become a successful Liberator.

| "Being new to the industry, I felt drawn to Major Mom because they combine classroom training with a hands-on day that really establishes the Major Mom Method as your organizing process. I have always taken an intuitive approach to organizing, so the addition of an organized approach to organizing was great!"
D'Nae
February 2011 | "I wanted to let you know that my training through the Major Mom Academy was the best and most thorough job training I have ever received. I was hesitant to accept a job where I had to pay to be trained, but by day two I knew it was well worth the money. I know that your experience on the job prepared me far better to organize and energize clients than I could have ever learned on my own. Everyday, I am changing peoples' lives...thank you for helping me do it in a way that is educated, uniformed and professional."

Your care for the customer is an example for us all. I learned more during the academy than I had anticipated and because of this I am more confident and passionate about being a professional organizer and the peace we bring to our clients."
