Meet Carrie
Have you ever thought…
“I’m feeling overwhelmed by my space. I’m stressed about how to deal with it, and I don’t know where to start.”
I know how you how feel. Those are the same thoughts I had when my husband and I blended our families. It’s also why I know I am your resource for decluttering, organizing, and styling your home in Madison, WI, Dubuque, IA, and all points in between.
Hi, I’m Carrie, professional home organizer and owner of The Marshall Method.
One of the moments that shaped my career as a home organizing expert came years ago while helping a client organize her office, living room, kitchen, and pantry. She preferred to work side-by-side with me a few hours each week so she could learn and get coaching along the way.
When we finished, she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said: "I didn’t realize how disorganized and cluttered my home was, or how much it was weighing me down. Now everything feels so much lighter — both in my home and in my life."
That experience confirmed what I’ve seen time and again: clearing physical clutter can also clear emotional weight. In every session, my goal is to help clients declutter, sort, edit, categorize, and release the physical and emotional barriers that keep them from living as their most authentic selves. Are you ready to start your organizing journey? I’m ready to help!
Have you ever moved to a new place and said to yourself…
“I am so overwhelmed. How am I going to get unpacked? This is so stressful and I don’t know where to start. And um…am I going to have to sleep on these boxes tonight because I can’t even see where my bed is?”
I’ve been there…20+ times in fact…and it’s why I know I am the best person to help with unpacking and organizing your home.
People often think because I’m an organizer that I must have very little in my own home. Nope! I’d say I’m between a minimalist and maximalist (because c’mon, who can resist a cute pair of shoes?).
Fun Facts About Carrie
My love for organizing is probably due in part to moving 20+ times. One move was to a 200-square foot apartment in NYC (it was wonderful, but very small), and two moves were to Wisconsin (I must love it here).
On my days off you can find me spending time with family and friends, cooking, traveling, listening to true crime podcasts, working out, antiquing, and organizing my own home (I really do love my job).
Only 10% of the population is left-handed (hey…that’s me!). They say lefties are good at complex reasoning, which may be why I approach clients’ spaces with creative and practical solutions.
I am a proud United States Air Force veteran.
My absolute favorite foods are pizza and tacos. So on my birthday I like to combine my faves and order a taco pizza to celebrate (who’s hungry?).
