By: Marketing at Organize to Elevate

In a world where clutter seems to accumulate as quickly as thoughts, finding someone who can guide you through the chaos and into a space of calm is a rare gift. Camille Prunka, the founder of Organize to Elevate, is that guiding light for many of her clients. As a professional organizer and high performance coach, Camille’s journey to helping others find clarity in their spaces and lives is both inspiring and deeply personal.

How It Began

Camille didn’t grow up in an organized home; it was clean and neat, but not organized. Her father, coming from the depression era, saved everything, while her mom put things where they would fit and saved items because they “might need it one day.” This led to a house that was very full and created stress in the family’s day-to-day life. Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Camille’s early career path led her through event planning, communications, and entrepreneurship. Even in these diverse roles, a common theme emerged: a knack for organizing, a love of people, and a desire to help others. Whether it was tidying up storage rooms or maximizing a workspace to be as efficient as possible, Camille’s talent for bringing order to the chaos around her was undeniable.

Life Changing Experiences

About seven years ago, Camille found herself living a life that was far from the one she had envisioned. Stuck in dead-end relationships, living paycheck to paycheck, and working long hours in a stressful job, she knew something had to change. That change began with decluttering her home. By removing the physical clutter, she created space for new opportunities to enter her life. She not only began decluttering her physical clutter, but also focusing on her mental, social, and all the clutter in her life. Camille evaluated the roles her friends played in her life, she looked into her finances and what could be bogging her down, she began exercising and doing things that would help her boost her physical well-being. All of this had a positive impact on her life in many ways. 

The effects were profound. Within two years of decluttering, Camille bought her first home, met her husband, got married, and welcomed their son into the world. Decluttering was not about becoming a minimalist; it was about creating space for the life she truly wanted to live. Getting organized allowed Camille to realize that she was worthy of the life she wanted to lead. She didn’t need to feel guilty for wanting more or being different.

Camille gained a lot of personal experience from all the moves she has made in her life, particularly in the last 15 years. With each move, she learned how to configure her belongings to fit into different types of spaces – apartments, townhomes, single family houses. This experience has given her a unique perspective on organization and space management. Her journey from a cluttered childhood to a fulfilling career as a professional organizer and high-performance coach is a testament to the transformative power of organization.

Organize to Elevate Launches

It wasn’t until the onset of the pandemic that Camille genuinely realized the impact her organizing skills could have on others. Watching friends and family struggle to create functional spaces in their homes, she saw an opportunity to turn her passion into a career. In January of 2021, she founded Refreshingly Candid Coaching & Organizing, which has recently been rebranded as Organize to Elevate.

Organize to Elevate is more than just a business for Camille; it’s a mission to help others transform their lives through organization. From kitchens to bathrooms, closets to pantries, Camille works with clients to declutter their spaces and, in turn, declutter their minds. She understands firsthand the link between a cluttered environment and a cluttered mind, having experienced the transformation herself.

Today, Camille’s work extends beyond just organizing physical spaces. As a high performance coach, she helps her clients achieve their goals through time management, productivity, mindset, and confidence-building techniques. She understands that being organized is about more than just having a tidy home; it’s about unlocking your fullest potential.
