She rocks the house!!!
 Amanda M. says:
I just had my first coaching experience with Ariane and it was more than I could have ever expected!!! I've read plenty of books on ADD, organizing with ADD, self-help, I've been to plenty of therapists (who have helped in other areas, just lacking in terms of how ADD affects my life). When I was talking to Ariane, it was almost like she was in my head, all of the "stuff" that I can never explain or get out in words, she identified for me. It was such a relief to know that I'm not crazy or weird and the way that I do things is perfectly ok, in fact, its pretty awesome how I approach life. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!!!!

Motivating and understanding
I just had my first private coaching session with Ariane. Wow! She is so compassionate & caring and seems to know intuitively where I am coming from. I tend to be negative about myself & my abilities, but Ariane helped me see strengths that I wasn't even aware I had. I think one of the biggest breakthroughs came when she helped me see that I don't have to be perfect or know how to do everything perfectly in order to pursue my dreams and passion. She also helped me see that it IS POSSIBLE to change and that some of my "negative" traits and habits can actually be positive. I look forward to more sessions with her. She is such a motivator and encourager!

Motivating and compassionate
" I tend to be negative and tell myself that what I do "is not enough" but Ariane is helping me to turn that around and take pleasure in, and give myself credit for small accomplishments. Little successes can lead to bigger success... She is helping me tackle a big clutter clearing project in my basement, with practical tips to motivate me, stay on track, and make decisions. With Ariane's help, I now feel less overwhelmed and more hopeful. That I may actually have the tools to do this! But the best thing about Ariane is her compassion. It makes a huge difference to work with someone who is honest and non-judging, because she has faced many of the same obstacles herself. I have worked with another professional organizer in the past, and there is no comparison to the service and support that Ariane offers!”
"I asked Ariane to coach me on a very specific task. However, from our work, I soon realized that my reluctance in accomplishing that task was related to my bigger picture of how I handle things in general. I was happy to learn that I actually could change/tweak many components working together in my life for the better. By getting help in one area, other areas became unstuck. Some of the harsh way I view myself, others and situations were challenged and I began to see that my stinkin' thinkin' is old news and holding me back. I can be different. I can feel happy and whole. And there are techniques to do this. It's not just what you were born into. Ariane allowed me to let my guard down to uncover a lot of these false beliefs about myself and my life because she's been there too. There is no judgement. I am getting better because it's possible.”
"When I received personal coaching from Ariane on time management recently, she helped me see time management in a new way--one that was very ADD-friendly. After an excellent hour of Ariane's coaching, I am now in the process of re-thinking ways to productively plan my week without being a slave to a daily "To Do" list that often led to my feeling "tied down" or guilty when I couldn't consistently check off all my tasks every day. Since Ariane has been able to successfully deal with her ADD challenges, I knew she would understand my concerns and frustrations with traditional time management principles and could offer a variety of workable solutions for me. Indeed, she did!”
"I so appreciated your words of wisdom and very POSITIVE spin to life and my “situation.” You are not only a professional organizer but a terrific life coach!”

"Working with you has changed my whole life and saved my marriage. My husband says it was the best money we ever spent. My kids are so happy we aren't fighting all the time now.
We are all taking less medication - even our allergies are better! It's actually easy to clean now. You are AWESOME! Thanks for giving me and my family a chance at a better life."

"I can't thank you enough for all your help... the time spent with you was enormously valuable. I have gone from a feeling of being overwhelmed by all
our clutter to a sense of relaxed confidence at how efficiently our system is going to function...I can tell already that you have enhanced our lives tremendously.
Again, many thanks."

"I'm a Health & Nutrition Counselor and Ariane's organizing expertise changed my life! As a new business owner I had to start from scratch, de-cluttering my old life to create an efficient, beautiful workspace with the intention of success. Ariane did that and more. Her vision, patience, methodology and concepts that she brought to the project will be with me always as I grow. I know I will utilize her wealth of knowledge on an on-going bases. Thank You Ariane!!
"Yesterday was fantastic, brilliant! I'm shocked and in awe and still can't believe how much we accomplished in just 4 hours!... I thought it would take much longer. You are such a dynamo! I can't believe how lucky we were to find you! We could never have done this job by ourselves. I'm going to recommend you to everyone!"
"My life has been transformed and I smile all the time now. I am absolutely thrilled with your work and professionalism. You have changed my life! Doing laundry and putting clothes away is so easy now - it's actually a joy to do. In just the couple sessions we've completed so far, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I learned so much and am organizing things all over the house now! I never have to be ashamed again when people come to visit! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"
“Ariane Benefit is one of the most innovative and creative people I have ever worked with. With each project, Ariane brings a fresh approach and many ideas. She puts her clients needs first and foremost ...”
“I did not realize just how good you were until I worked with someone else. Now I realize how you made my life SO MUCH EASIER!!! Your attention to detail and design was simply awesome! You actually took the time to really understand my needs and goals. As a result you were able to guide me in areas I overlooked. It would be great to have you back. I would recommend your services for any project!”
"I've worked with organizers in the past, but Ariane is different. She doesn't impose a one-size-fits-all organizational stategy, but develops one tailored to who you are and how you work. Ariane is not only interested in getting you organized, but in making sure that she leaves you with a system that helps you to stay organized. With her help, I'm more productive than I've been in years!"
W. hired me to coach her through her ADD-related procrastination and perfectionism issues which had left her feeling like it was impossible for her to get organized unless someone did it for her. With me as her "Virtual Organizing and ADHD Coach" she gained new skills, new ways of seeing things, and got support every step of the way help her stay on track and break out of the thinking patterns than got her stuck. She not only achieved her goal, she created a haven out of a spare room which had been rendered completely unusable while she was grieving her divorce and other losses. The room at become a dumping ground for bad memories and now it was her sacred space. She saved thousands of dollars over the coast of having in-home help and gained the confidence that she COULD do it herself! Here's an audio clip from my final coaching session with W.

"Thanks again!!! ... I actually got completely dressed for the first time without having to hunt for anything!! It was so wonderful... I couldn't stop smiling all day!"
"As owner of a PR business, my home office was getting interference from my personal life and my storage and filing systems were cluttered. With Ariane's help, I was able to transform my office into a neat, non-stressful place where I can now concentrate. Her storage ideas and methods were easy to implement. In fact, I am keeping up with everything that comes in and goes out. Once you learn, it's quite easy."

Ellen Shapiro, Prosperity Coach, and Repatterning Practitioner called me in 2007 to help her make her home office into a haven where she could meet with clients. We transformed her life in just two days! She experienced a dramatic improvement in her organizing self-confidence and in her ability to let go to clutter. Since then I have worked with her to coach me, plus we have worked together on teleclasses, led a coaching group together, and now she is a treasured friend and participant and contributor to the Getting Unstuck Coaching Group!

“Ariane is extremely intelligent and creative and possesses an innate talent to understand client needs and design solutions that not only meets these needs, but also, far exceed expectations. She is devoted to projects she is involved in and knows how to motivate people to complete a project. I have referred many clients to Ariane because her work is the absolute best. I hired her as a career coach and marketing consultant. She has been a tremendous help to me in so many ways. You would be fortunate to work with her.”
Ariane was a dream to work with when building my web site. Not only was she fast and creative, but she made any changes I wanted. My previous website had been up for 10 years and had never been even listed on Google. It took her only one day to redesign my site and get it up and running and looking professional and exceptional! I get a lot of compliments on my site. I got listed on Google within a couple days and within just a few months, I was getting lots more traffic and clients. I even started getting requests from the press to do interviews for the first time ever! I actually got a spread in a local newspaper featuring my business - all because they found my website and liked it! Thanks Ariane you are the best!

I worked with a client with a compulsive spending and hoarding problem to free her garage from 30 years of hoarding clothing and clutter that left it unusable and nearly destroyed her life. Coaching with me helped her overcome her addictive and compulsive shopping and let go of literally thousands of clothing items. Her children and 1-800-got-junk provided the labor, I provided the plan, and worked with her side by side to provide emotional support to help her make the tough decisions and ease her into letting go. I then helped her redesign her garage and provide plenty of inexpensive storage for the large amount of clothing she wasn't ready to let go of. However, she was able to park her car in the garage for the first time in many years. Here's what she had to say a week after...
