Space of Mine - Home-organizer Suisse - Coach Rangement - Virginie DOR

Hello,

My name Virginie Dor, founder and director of Space of Mine, a project born in 2012 from my passion for organization, psychology, and well-being in everyday life.

With a background in psychology, I have always been fascinated by the connection between our living spaces and our inner balance. My goal is to help each person create an environment that fosters clarity, serenity, and efficiency.

I have had the opportunity to work and train in the United States alongside recognized experts in various areas of professional organizing. These experiences have shaped my method, my professionalism, and my ability to understand and respect each person’s needs.

As the only certified Senior Downsizing Specialist in Switzerland (The Downsizing Institute – 2021), I support older adults and their families through every stage of a residential transition: sorting, reducing belongings, moving, settling in, and fully reorganizing the home.

My approach combines care, expertise, psychology, and methodology to simplify often sensitive life transitions and transform decluttering into a positive, respectful, and reassuring experience — while creating spaces that truly reflect the lives of their occupants and support them in everyday life.

I have been a founding member of the Swiss-APO (Swiss Association of Professional Organizers) since 2016, and had the honour of serving as Vice President from 2016 to 2023.
I am also a Golden Member of NAPO (National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals, USA) since 2012, reflecting my commitment to maintaining the highest standards in the profession.

I work in both French and English.

« Creating an orderly space is much more than organizing: it means making room for what truly matters. »

They Worked With Me

Virginie is amazing! She truly understands your needs and responds to them with great efficiency. I absolutely loved her energy—she always finds solutions.

Virginie knows how to adapt to any situation. I really enjoyed spending that week with her. She’s pleasant, has a great sense of humor, and never loses her motivation.

I highly recommend her without hesitation. Thank you so much!

I don’t even know where to start, I’m just so happy!

Working with Virginie was honestly one of the best decisions I made this year.

To be honest, I was a bit nervous at first… my mess was something else! But she was so kind and understanding right from the start. Zero judgment, just genuine care and tons of great ideas.

Now, I feel so much better at home! Everything has its place, I can find my things in seconds, and the craziest part is that I’m actually able to keep things tidy (which was definitely not a given for me 😅).

But what touched me the most is that she didn’t just organize everything. She truly taught me how to stay organized, took the time to explain her tips, and adapted everything to fit my lifestyle.

I’ll always be grateful for what she’s done for me. If you’re hesitating, don’t! It really changes your day-to-day life, and on top of that, she’s an absolute pleasure to work with.

Thank you again for everything! ❤️

We really enjoyed working with Virginie and her team. They were professional and very easy to work with. They knew exactly what they were doing and the project turned out exactly as we were hoping! Could not recommend them more!

Beautiful work—professional and well organized. The quote was fully respected, and the team was attentive and incredibly friendly. I’m absolutely delighted with their service and can only warmly recommend this company for all your decluttering, organizing, or any other needs. Go for it with your eyes closed!

Virginie recently came to our home and literally worked miracles. I could never praise her enough to truly match the quality of her service!

Our guest room had turned into a storage space after my parents sold their house, and I also had to empty my childhood bedroom. There were boxes stacked from floor to ceiling, and I didn’t even know where to begin.

Virginie worked with us to go through every single box and introduced practical, simple, and budget-friendly organizing methods to handle all that chaos.

She is not only highly professional, but also incredibly kind, hardworking, and patient. Virginie completely took away the stress of this task and broke it down into easy, manageable steps that were so satisfying to complete. You can truly tell she loves what she does. 🙂

We were so happy with her work that Virginie came back to help us reorganize our closets, kitchen, and pantry.

Virginie is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Virginie is a true force of organization!!!

I knew I needed to get organized, but I had NO idea just how much EVERYTHING could be organized!

Virginie quickly identified the root of the problems and came up with ideas, solutions, and different options!

The entire session was SO motivating!!

It really boosted my self-confidence! These are things I can do, change, and put into place!

Now, I see everything with a fresh perspective: how to make things more fluid, more efficient, simpler, cleaner, and better organized.

I’m currently putting her ideas into action, and I absolutely love what I’ve already achieved!!

Before, I felt completely overwhelmed, but now I feel confident and capable! I didn’t know anything about professional organizers, but I truly got lucky finding THE BEST!!!!

I strongly encourage you not to hesitate and to discover for yourself just how amazing Virginie really is!

I recently bought a house and felt very anxious about moving, as I had countless boxes going back 10 years that my parents had kept for me, all my college stuff, and so much more.

Virginie was amazing. She came to help me organize everything for the move, which she did incredibly quickly and with great efficiency.

She’s an absolute pleasure to work with and knows how to be direct while perfectly handling a little hoarder like me 😅.

Once I was settled in, she came back to help me organize, unpack, and continue decluttering.

She was incredible—so helpful. There were three bedrooms, an office, a walk-in pantry, and a kids’ playroom to organize.

I was so grateful she was recommended to me. Virginie’s speed, efficiency, and organizing skills cut my stress in half, not to mention her impeccable eye for design, which was such a huge help. Now that I’m settled into my new home, I feel organized, decluttered, and stylish too.

I contacted Virginie/Space of Mine to discuss some space clearing in our home.

To be frank, I was somewhat skeptical about « space clearing services » but I needed to declutter and simplify our home, to make life easier for my husband who has memory issues and I didn’t have a clue how and where to start.

As I was hesitant, we agreed that she would just attack our storage cellar, filled to the max with foods, all kinds of (unused) stuff and almost impossible to walk into. Well, what can I say … Virginie came, saw and conquered the cellar in a day and seeing the result, I instantly turned into a believer and used her services to do our house from top to bottom, including the most sacred room in the house: my office.

Virginie has a very pleasant personality and is a true energy bomb. She was also very respectful towards our home, never pushy but rather gently steering me in the right direction. Clearing out a home and letting go can be sentimental and I did shed a few tears. She was kind, patient and understanding when that happened.

After everything was done, I found myself inspired by Virginie’s enthusiasm to keep the house in the tidy state she left it and it’s easy now! Virginie has been a life-saver, engaging her was one of the best things I’ve done and I will wholeheartedly recommend her and her services.
Thank you Virginie, from the bottom of my heart!

My home was already organized, but I needed help with furniture layout and making the space feel cleaner and more harmonious.

Virginie came in, listened to my concerns, and before I even realized it, she was elbow-deep in my “mess” (even though I didn’t think I had any!).

She helped me organize my daughter’s bedroom and completely transformed it—from a space that felt like a closet into a real bedroom.

She spent every minute organizing and reworking the space. I love Virginie (I’ve only met her once—is it too soon to say that?)!

She focused on using what I already had and repurposed items in ways I never would have thought of.

I had previously worked with an interior designer, and the experience with Virginie was nothing like it. Virginie spent all her time actually doing the work—moving things, reorganizing, adjusting, etc.

Meanwhile, the interior designer had simply given me ideas and a shopping list.

My daughter’s room now looks like it came straight out of a magazine. I can’t stop talking about it! I’m so, so, so happy with the result!

I honestly can’t imagine how the experience could have been any better. Thank you so much, Virginie!
