MEET Kimberly Ann Martin

ORGANIZER AT HEART

One by One was born from my lifelong joy of finding order and peace through organization. Working as a Professional Organizer and Personal Planner, I am able to show others how impactful shedding the mental and physical weight of clutter can have on their life.

We live in a culture that promotes collection and consumption, which creates an undercurrent of stress inside of our homes; my work specializes in removing that stress and helps to create Spatial Wellness in its place.

When I partner with my clients, I am focused on understanding their individual needs so we can create spaces that foster simple and easy everyday living. I bring my love of organizing, my eye for detail, and my commitment to quality service to every project.

As the owner of One by One Professional  Organizing, I am grateful for the opportunities my business gives me to share my passion for organized living. Proudly serving clients in the greater southern Maine and New Hampshire seacoast communities.
