Professional Home Organizers in Middle Tennessee
We Believe Home Should Be the Place You Get to Exhale
From a Simple Idea to a Business Built Around Helping Others
While the entire world was on a break from life as we know it during the pandemic, Bethany also had a break from her job as a teacher. She knew if she sat still and didn’t stay busy, she would go crazy. As she sat down pondering future career plans, “professional organizer” jokingly made its way onto the list.
With a mix of curiosity and passion, Bethany embarked on a journey she wasn’t entirely sure was even possible. Her love for organizing and helping others led her to do some quick research, take a few snapshots of her own neatly arranged home, and put together her first social media pages. Overnight, Next Step Home Organizing was born.
Our Approach: Function First, Always
We don't believe your home needs to look like a showroom to be organized.
It needs to work for you.
That means understanding how you use your kitchen, where your family naturally drops its belongings, which routines are frustrating, and what keeps getting pushed to the bottom of your to-do list.
a supportive, judgement-free experience
You don't need to clean up before we arrive or have everything figured out. We're here to help you work through the process, make decisions, and move forward at a pace that feels manageable.
HI FRIEND, I’M BETHANY
Lead Organizer + Founder of NSHO
Before building this business, I spent years teaching middle school and proudly serving in the military. Those experiences took me to different places, introduced me to different people, and taught me how to adapt, solve problems, and connect with others.
I’m a seasoned professional organizer (6 years and going strong) obsessed with closets, pantries, and kids' spaces. Organizing is my gift. My gift lies in my ability to tackle organizational obstacles with creative solutions, a sharp eye for detail, and a knack for bringing clarity to clutter. With a genuine desire to help others, I turn challenges into opportunities for lasting change.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me planning an adventure with my husband and our two dogs, traveling, trying a new Nashville restaurant, or enjoying a good drive through Shelby Park.
Building NSHO has given me the opportunity to turn something I love into a business that helps other people. I'm grateful for every client who trusts us with their space and every team member who helps bring that vision to life.
MEET THE TEAM
Erin
LEAD ORGANIZER & SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER
One thing I really enjoy about organizing is the problem solving that comes with the process. I love that it challenges me to think outside the box and be creative.
I believe one of the biggest strengths we have is our teams flexibility. We know when to step in and help each other get the job done in the best way for our clients.
When I’m not organizing: I love being outdoors, especially hiking. I also enjoy photography - there’s just something about capturing the beauty of the places I visit!
lindsAy
ORGANIZER & INVENTORY MANAGER
I love the peace and calm that comes from a decluttered, thoughtfully organized space.
My experience in teaching and being a mother has taught me the importance of structure, problem-solving, and finding practical solutions that work for different needs.
I enjoy tackling different spaces and figuring out how to make them both functional and inviting.
Outside of organizing, I’m a mom of four, a poetry writer, and a big cat lover!
MELODY
ORGANIZER
I’m a little obsessed with all things organized, neat, and symmetrical (thanks to my background in design and operations!).
My absolute favorite part of organizing is seeing a client’s reaction and relief when everything comes together.
If you asked me what my favorite thing to organize is - I’d easily answer books and tools - because even screwdrivers and novels deserve to have their own perfectly organized little homes.
I have two wild kids and will pet any dog that I come in contact with.
KODA
HEAD OF SECURITY
Koda takes his security responsibilities seriously—especially when chipmunks and suspicious Amazon deliveries are involved. When he's not on patrol, you'll find him exploring hiking trails, taste-testing snacks, or overseeing the nap department. His payment requirements are simple: food, attention, and the occasional belly rub.
