Heartland Organizing came into being as a place for Sharon to use her natural inclination, plus years of experience, plus systems and product knowledge to help busy people organize their work life so they can achieve balance and control in all areas of their lives in an increasingly demanding world.

In the mid-90's Sharon read the book Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow by Marsha Sinetar and loved that idea immensely. After retirement from a career in education as a teacher and librarian, she was determined to help others as a Professional Organizer.

In 2008 Sharon affiliated with Barbara Hemphill's Paper Tiger Productivity
Institute. Through training and personal mentoring by Barbara Hemphill, she expanded the array of services she can provide for businesses looking to improve productivity.

Sharon has a Master's Degree in Information Media/Library Science. She has been a practicing Professional Organizer since 2001 and a Certified Productive Environment Specialist since 2008. She is a Golden Circle member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) and an active member in the Minnesota chapter of NAPO.

Home is near Clearwater, Minnesota where Sharon lives with her husband, Jim, in an organized home (that's her space) with a not-so-organized garage (that's his space).
