Clearing Space, Clearing Minds: Professional Profile

Debra Riva was always organized, a skill she learned from her mother. The skill also served her as an executive assistant to a prominent New York figure.

Debra is a feng shui consultant and professional organizer and started her consulting business "The Art of Order" over ten years ago. She supports her clients to create an easy flow of energy by organizing their lives and removing clutter.

“Clutter is an energy block,” she said. “It translates into any and all areas of our lives from relationships to finances.”

Clearing space and being organized is part of one's spiritual practice. When people remove unnecessary items, they open themselves to clearer thinking and greater possibilities, she said.

Success stories include a client who could not see the floor of her apartment. Now she is able to have dinner and sleepover guests.

“She’s just amazed at the possibilities and she created it” Debra said. “We made her dream come true. Now she needs a bigger dream.”

Debra travels to homes and offices for consultations. She helps clients change habits, often starting with her “Take the Moment” approach. “Take the Moment” means just that. "Rather than letting things pile up, take the moment and do the task" she said.... Write that check. Make that phone call.

Because Fall is the last quarter of the year,it is especially good time to get organized and clear the clutter.

“Wouldn’t it be extraordinary gift for each and every one of us to clean out any clutter at this time so that we can sail into the New Year with a clean slate and without the burden of clutter?” she said.
