About Vickie
Vickie Dellaquila is a Certified Professional Organizer®, receiving her certification in the inaugural class of 2007. She is also a Certified Relocation Transition Specialist, and owner of Organization Rules®, and has been a Professional Organizer since 2002. Vickie has moved several times and as a child, she loved to de-clutter and organize her bedroom with each move. Her parents thought she was a little strange because one of her hobbies was “organizing.” With each move, Vickie's parents ignored the idea of unpacking all those boxes, however Vickie saw it as a fun challenge. Her parents thought many of the packed boxes should stay in the basement and just move them the next time they move. Vickie loved to unpack and organize those items.Sometimes, people get stuck in their life because of difficult situations such as divorce, death of a spouse, simply being overwhelmed, depression, hoarding, or other situations. The stuff can paralyze them and they can’t move forward. They need some help to get unstuck and to move forward in their life. Through her business, she has helped many clients get unstuck by de-cluttering, organizing, and simplifying their lives. She helps people to focus on what "stuff" they really want to keep in their life and what "stuff" to let go. Vickie also focuses on the financial and emotional costs of keeping all that stuff that is not used.
Using her background in nursing and social services she helps seniors downsize and relocate. Her expertise enables her to answer questions like: "I have lived in a five-bedroom, two-story home for the past 47 years and need to downsize and move. How do I start?"
Vickie's life experiences include a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from Slippery Rock University. She also has hospital nursing experience as a Licensed Practical Nurse. She has also worked in social services as a Caseworker in a Nursing home and as an Employment Specialist for a non-profit agency. Vickie also has done basic financial budgeting seminars for non-profit agencies, focusing on why we overspend.
Her company has been featured in several publications, including Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh Tribune Review, The Pittsburgh Magazine, the Costco Connection, USA Today Your Life, the Miami Herald and the Boston Herald. She has taught the class, "Working with Adult Children of Elderly Clients" for the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization. She also teaches the "Get Organized" course at the Butler County Community College in Cranberry and at the Community College of Allegheny County in McCandless.
She is also the author of the book, Don't Toss My Memories in the Trash-A Step-by-Step Guide to Helping Seniors Downsize, Organize, and Move and The Moving Workbook.
