Insurmountable! was the feeling I had before finding Yuzu… Whether it was one-on-one coaching or simple conversation during an organizing session, Yuzu helped me see that I actually had the answers inside all along but just didn't know it." Either a hands-on organizing or a virtual coaching session, Yuzu provided much of the help, direction, and resources I needed to see me through to the other side. I couldn't be more grateful!

Life-changing! The mystery piles are nearly gone, and we’ve turned a new leaf. One thing I love about your coaching is how you help uncover my own motivations when they feel hidden. So much weight has been lifted—it feels like a whole new home with fresh energy. You were spot on about creating flow, and I love that your brain just knows how to do that. It’s truly amazing!
- Business owner in Chicago
Working with you has been a game-changer! You’ve given me the tools and a new way of thinking to reframe both my space and my mind. I feel so much less stressed and anxious, and for the first time in years, I feel empowered.
Last night, I tackled my kitchen and let go of even more things, all while keeping the vision you helped me create. The acronym ‘SPACE’ has already been so helpful, and I love how you modeled your thought process rather than just doing the work for me.
​
Even my kids noticed the difference—they were so excited about the changes! Watching them play and enjoy the reconfigured space filled my heart with joy. I’ve even started teaching them how to let go of old toys, and we already have a huge bin of items to give away or sell!
​
I’m so proud of what we accomplished together and can’t wait to continue this process. Thank you for helping me prioritize myself and my family. This experience has truly brought me hope and happiness.
- Mom, Deerfield, IL
My wife and I have always struggled to maintain a neat and tidy house, and it was causing a lot of stress in our lives. We felt embarrassed to invite people over, and we couldn't get started cleaning up because everything felt impossible. Yuzu is a saint. Once we made the decision to reach out to her, she responded with friendliness and encouragement. We never felt judged for not having our lives together. She understands that everyone has to start somewhere and that building "chore muscles" takes work. She truly loves her work, and her energy is contagious. Things didn't happen overnight or over a single session, but every session saw improvement and progress. We actively look forward to our sessions with her. Recently, we had a friend come over for some board games. We still have room to improve, but we're already feeling so much freer than we were before we started.
​
If you need help getting your home in order but are afraid of what a stranger will think, I can assure you that Yuzu will only see the task as a challenge and never as a moral failing on your part. She won't judge you, but she will help you, and she'll teach you how to help yourself in the process.

In one day Yuzu helped me start and complete tasks I hadn’t managed to accomplish on my own for years.
I have ADHD, whose symptoms were made waaayyy worse by perimenopause. Yuzu’s nonjudgmental patience with my neurodivergence helped me relax and trust her. And be really productive!
Working with Yuzu is productive and fun. I look forward to every session. She’s talented and professional—and pleasantly down to earth!
I’m not done with Yuzu yet. But I’ve already learned a lot from her, especially in starting a system to keep me from backsliding.
- Whitney, Chicago
During a home remodeling project, my office became cluttered and disorganized. I was overwhelmed trying to get it cleaned up and contacted Yuzu Sasaki Byrne of Neatopia for assistance. From the moment I talked with Yuzu, I felt more calm and less overwhelmed. Yuzu took the time to really understand my situation and what I needed to do. Before we began the organizing project, Yuzu provided an organizing blueprint for us to follow. While working on my office Yuzu was patient, non-judgemental and professional. She made the process smooth and simple. Her quiet persistence and expertise resulted in an organized office with some new systems to help me keep it that way. If you are struggling to get your home or office organized, I highly recommend Yuzu and Neatopia.

I was amazed at how positive my experience was! Yuzu’s gentle yet analytical approach helped me get real results. She provided strategies, guidance, and motivation—both during and beyond our sessions. Her insights into my challenges were a wake-up call, giving me a new perspective to make lasting changes. This experience transformed not just my space but also my confidence, mindset, and self-discipline. Family and friends quickly noticed the difference. I didn’t shop around or check references—I truly hit the lottery with Yuzu. She is warm, organized, and brings a sense of peace. Reach out, don’t hesitate—she’s amazing!
- Frances in Northbrook, IL
I recently moved during a particularly busy season at work. Yuzu helped me unpack and organize my kitchen, bathroom, and office. I feel so much more at peace now and am able to access everything with ease. Yuzu was professional and attentive. She worked hard and paid close attention to detail about my needs. I highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again.

Organizing our home with Yuzu was the most productive thing we've done all year. Yuzu thoughtfully worked with our whole family to declutter and organize in ways we never thought possible. It's allowed us to decompress, relax, and spend more quality time together as a family. We definitely 100% recommend her and hope to have her back in the future!
- Michael, Park Ridge
I usually panic and cry whenever I organize with someone because it's stressful for me. She made it so wonderful. I never once felt judged. She is firm in the sweetest way. I learned so many tips like if it doesn't fit in the space, reduce it. I let go of so much stuff I never needed. My space is lighter, and so is my heart. The lessons learned go far beyond our decluttering session. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you soon
- Shailey Hakimian
Yuzu was wonderful to work with. My daughter really liked her and accepted many of her suggestions. She helped her organize her entire apartment including, closets, kitchen and drawers as well as furniture placement. She gave her excellent strategies to maintain some level of organization. She worked hand in hand with my daughter through the entire process. I found Yuzu to be extremely knowledgeable and understanding of young people with ADHD who struggle with organization. She was always very positive and patient with my daughter and gave me good advice on how to continue supporting her organizing efforts.
- Mom of a young Adult with ADHD
Yuzu helped transform my house from an unlivable mess into a beautiful, well-organized, highly functional home. I didn't know where to start, but she took charge and, quietly and without judgment, helped sift through the archeological mounds of my life that had accumulated over 25 years, completely transforming my living circumstances.
Yuzu is cheerful, pleasant to work with, and has an instinctive understanding of what needs to be done. I now have control of my house, and I enjoy waking up in my bright, cheery home every day. I recommend Yuzu and Neatopia without hesitation to help anyone that needs assistance in organizing or sorting, large or small.
