Being a natural leader and having the desire to run her own business led to Caitlyn Travierso-Boarman creating Total Space LLC, which specializes in decluttering and organizing homes but also offers other services.

“One Saturday, when I was hours into downsizing and organizing my closets in my house, it clicked,” she said. “I’ve come to realize that a lot of people that I know don’t even know where to begin when it comes to organizing and purging to maximize their space.”

Travierso-Boarman said she always was neat, but it wasn’t something that was taught.

“My mom used to brag on me that she never had to tell me to pick up my room or put things away because I always had things picked up and put in place,” Travierso-Boarman said. 

Knowing she could help others with her innate neatness and organization led her to create a business to help others. She began using various services when she began and started with family and friends for practice. 

“At first, I started with small spaces, like closet or cabinet areas, then I moved on to bigger areas, like homes and garages,” she said.

Travierso-Boarman sees this as a need for people because most people have messes and their lives are busy. 

“Most people don’t know where to start,” she said. “They just know that things are out of order, cluttered and in the way.”

Since time is limited but material possessions are not, Total Spaces steps in to help people regain control of their space and make it functional. 

“Hiring a professional organizer is the beginning point for many clients in alleviating the stress and anxiety that can be associated with an unorganized and cluttered space,” she said. 

A phone call is the first step for hiring Total Space. She asks questions to find out what the client is looking for before scheduling an in-home consultation. At the consultation, she helps the client by discussing goals, budgets, needs, and expectations. If accepted, the client books sessions to meet their goal.

All services are performed without judgement and with confidentiality, which she said makes clients feel comfortable sharing their space. 

“When working with clients I have a system in place to help them understand the process so they can learn to maintain their space on their own,” she said. “I enjoy teaching my clients skills they can implement in their everyday lives to help keep their homes in order.”

Travierso-Boarman said that she enjoys seeing the end result and the client’s relief with the decluttered and organized space. 

“They often come away with a new-found confidence in their space,” she said. “It makes me happy to make an impact in other people’s lives.”

She said that some view her skills as simple but for most, it is not. She enjoys bringing joy to others in their homes and showing them what they are capable of. Building relationships with her clients brings her happiness as well. 

Total Space is open and taking clients. She offers to declutter and organize full homes, closets, kitchens, pantries, and garages. Yard or garage sale preparation, moving preparation with packing or unpacking, and photo staging are also part of the services offered.
