Vali G. Heist

Vali G. Heist, M.Ed. is a Professional Organizer® and Owner of The Clutter Crew in Mohnton, Pennsylvania since 2006. Vali is a self-proclaimed CRAP expert and is humbled each time her clients call to assist them in simplifying their lives. Vali’s husband has been an unwilling guinea pig for her organizing strategies and has helped her understand the emotional side of stuff. Vali’s son has willingly grown up to be a thrower like his mom, has married a minimalist, and follows the guideline of ‘buy something new, donate something old’. Vali’s pets have taught her not to value anything too much because tomorrow it might be chewed up or peed on.

Vali’s extensive background of 24 years in Higher Education includes training, administration, project management, writing, institutional accreditation, and editorial production. Her bachelor’s degree is in Business Administration from Shippensburg University and her master’s degree is in Higher Education from Kutztown University. After writing a monthly column for the Reading Eagle for ten years, she wrote her first book “Organize This! Practical Tips, Green Ideas, and Ruminations about your CRAP”. CRAP means Clutter that Robs Anyone of Pleasure. She hopes to write another book or do a podcast to continue to pass long inspiration to help people organize their lives at work and at home.

Vali's ultimate goal is to pass along her respect for our planet (there is no planet B) and to share organizing solutions with her readers and clients so anyone can organize and simplify their best life at home and in the workplace.
