Who We Are
Meet The POSH Organizing Team & Learn How We Operate
About Leslie Raycraft
Owner Certified Professional Organizer
Was there life before becoming a (CPO) Certified Professional Organizer? Honestly no! I wish I had discovered this profession 20 years ago! I am a registered Pharmacist and worked almost 30 years in most areas of pharmacy – retail, managed care, long-term care, as well as being a Regional Manager overseeing 12 pharmacies. Organizing has always been my passion, something I’ve done in my pharmacies to make them highly successful. I also did this on the side, helping friends downsize, declutter and organize their stuff – what fun! If they had a craft room that needed help – let me at it! Just renovated a kitchen? Ooh la la! Need a Pantry makeover – I was your gal! Thankfully, after discovering it was a real thing, I’ve now made it my sole occupation and started POSH Organizing. It was an easy transition from Pharmacist to Professional Organizer. There are so many similarities between both professions – both are extremely detail-oriented and needing to have systems in place making everything as efficient, organized & easy as possible.
The key to both professions is ALL about helping PEOPLE, but as an organizer, I can honestly say, we help people so much more. When people open their homes to us, that is a special gift and it’s something we take to heart and don’t take lightly. We are there to respect your wishes and help you take your spaces from an idea to a reality!
On a personal note, I’m a mother of 3 wonderful children, the wife of a great guy, living in West Hartford with our cat, Spiderman and Ginger our dog. My twin boys play hockey, so when I’m not organizing, I’m most likely at a hockey game somewhere on the East coast!
My other passions are traveling, photography, Thai cooking and Scrapbooking.
We would love to help you create the space and life you deserve! Call and make an appointment today!
Step-by-Step With POSH
Initial Consultation
After you have contacted us, we will set up a time for a phone interview or an in-home consultation. This is where we will discuss what you are looking to get accomplished with our help.
The Process
We will set up an appointment that lasts from 4 to 8 hours, depending on the job and your energy level. There will be 1 or more organizers, again depending on what you are looking to get accomplished. We always suggest that we start working with the room that gives you the most angst so that when we are done, you get an amazing feeling of joy! Wouldn’t it be nice to walk in and feel the relief wash over you? In addition – it is a great motivational boost to continue onto the next area!
Clients often work with us side by side, but if you are physically unable to do that or are busy working, not to worry, we can still get the job done with your input.
We start by going through and sorting all of your items, moving along everything that you no longer need, want or use. Please note – this is your decision, we do NOT let go of anything that you want to keep. Anything you choose to donate we will be happy to do that for you, with the exception of furniture. It’s one less “to do” that you have to do!
After this phase is done, we will then figure out how best to organize the space and set up systems that are going to work with your style. We will bring a lot of organizing products (and a labeler!) to make the job easier, but are happy to repurpose things you have in your home or use whatever products you may have purchased. We do suggest waiting before buying products until we have a better idea of what and how much we need to organize and store.
