Meet Hara Sitnick, Personal Organizer
We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Hara Sitnick, the founder of Order from Chaos, to discuss her passion for organizing and the profound impact she has on her clients’ lives. Hara’s approach to personal organizing goes beyond just tidying up spaces; she transforms environments to foster feelings of ease and peace. Her dedication to helping others, coupled with her natural talent for creating order, allows her to guide clients from feelings of overwhelm to a sense of relief and lightness. In our conversation, Hara shares how her trustworthy and supportive nature helps her connect deeply with clients, creating a judgment-free atmosphere that makes them feel truly at ease.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your professional background?
My family moved to Asheville from Miami in 1977, so this is home, although, I am still a tropical beach person! I graduated from UNCA in 1990 and worked as an environmental activist for a couple of years when I realized I felt bummed out about how much I could actually do, and that wasn’t helping the Earth or me. Through a series of events, I became an herbalist and worked in holistic health professionally for 25 years.
I lived in Colorado for a number of years, and while escaping the harsh Winter weather during a visit to Miami around 2017, I helped a family friend with whom I was staying organize her office. The next morning over coffee, I began wondering if people would pay me to help them create Order From Chaos in their lives, and the seeds of my business were planted!
What inspired you to pursue your current career or business venture?
Although I had never been in business for myself, organizing comes naturally to me, and I’m a service-oriented person, so I love helping people organize their stuff! I take on projects of all sizes, from smaller tasks like a closet or kitchen to larger jobs like basements or entire homes. I help create systems that work for people to maintain the order we’ve established. Some clients hire me for one or two appointments, while others I’ve worked with regularly for years. Because I enjoy what I do and meet people where they’re at, I can make the process fun and easy for those who may have been feeling overwhelmed and anxious. My work brings such purpose to my life; I love knowing that my clients feel relief and experience more flow in their lives.
What challenges have you faced as a queer professional in Western North Carolina, and how have you overcome them?
Gratefully, I haven’t really faced any challenges as a queer professional. Occasionally, I wonder what potential clients might think if they discover this aspect of who I am, though if it is a problem for them, then we are not a good fit, and it needs to be a good fit for everyone.
What accomplishments are you most proud of in your professional journey?
I feel proud of having my own business altogether and how I have learned and grown and developed my expertise over the years. Although I have worked with a number of business coaches, marketing is not my thing. I have really come to honor that I most enthusiastically promote my business by connecting one-on-one with folks and gratefully receive referrals. In this day and age of social media content and self-promotion, it has taken a lot to be my authentic self in this regard. That said, I do feel proud of having a website.
I engage intentionally through WNC Queer Professionals and Blue Ridge Pride Generation Plus and am so grateful for the connections I have made, am building and continue to make. I am also grateful for any referrals to potential clients by members and am glad to offer a free 15 minute phone consultation about their needs and how they might benefit from my services.
