My mom’s house had become overwhelmed with years of saved items, especially the garage which hadn't been used in ages. Laela from Elev8 Your Spaces came in and completely transformed it. She helped my mom set realistic goals, and more importantly, she worked with such care and sensitivity around the emotional side of letting go. Now, the garage is bright, organized, and functional – with labeled zones and a system that actually works. We’re both so grateful for Laela’s thoughtful approach and skill. Highly recommended! - V.E., Sierra Madre

Her professionalism plus her attention to detail, added immense value , allowing me to focus on my work without distraction of clutter.

Laela from Elev8 Your Spaces is a master organizer as she helped us transform our personal home and our offices into well-functioning and aesthetically pleasing spaces. What a gift to have Laela upgrade our lives! - A.C., Beverly Hills
Elev8 Your Spaces is a game-changer! Laela turned my cluttered home office into a productive space. She was professional, friendly, personable and genuinely cared about my needs. I can finally focus on my work without distractions. Thank you! - K.M., Marina Del Rey
Laela at Elev8 Your Spaces was helpful with organizing a particular space we needed help with & even built a cabinet to put all our stuff in! She’s super patient and makes the job fun! She has great ideas and really listened to our priorities. I felt like she really understood and worked toward what was important for us in our space. We look forward to bringing her back for more projects! D.F., Van Nuys
Laela completely organized my kitchen!! To be honest, my kitchen cabinets and pantry were a mess and completely disorganized after years of cooking and buying new spices, oils, etc. She quickly put things into order in a way that made sense - and I even got rid of a lot of stuff that was expired and just taking up space! She was professional and listemmned to what mattered to me and my needs. She gave me space saving tips and tricks I had never thought of . I am so relieved it worked out so well! I didn’t know how much I needed the help! LAELA AT ELEV8 YOUR SPACES IS THE BEST! - L.F., Hollywood
My closet was overflowing with clothes I never used - many with price tags still on them. I could never find anything to wear and it made me feel overwhelmed and isolated. Laela at Elev8 Your Spaces was so sweet. And she introduced me to invaluable tricks for condensing my belongings, changing my chaotic closet into a closet that I adore. Thanks to her patience and guidance, I now have a beautiful area without clutter and I feel better about myself. Thank you Laela. -M.M., Calabasas
We’ve used Laela at Elev8 Your Spaces to sort our lives out (baby gear, our closets, garage, bathrooms, etc.) and it always feels like a huge weight off when we’re done! We HIGHLY recommend her! - S.K., Agoura Hills
Laela is a real pro; she is a clear communicator, she has lots of good ideas that I had never thought of, she helped me weed out things I don’t need in the gentlest way, and helped me plan my daughter’s room in a way that only an expert with kids spaces could. Laela planned the space from soup-to-nuts, managing the installation/build-out of the closet, and organized it in a way that will grow with my toddler as it will help my daughter learn to be self-sufficient. It’s clear Laela loves what she does, and that definitely translates into making the experience fun and the space feel personal and most useful after she’s done. She also was very clear about pricing and worked with my desire to be cost efficient: great value! - S.O., Venice Beach
Saved my time, my sanity and impressed my partner! I was referred to Elev8 Your Spaces from a colleague and it was the best decision I made! Between work and life, my partner and I just didn’t have the time (or energy) to tackle a more organized home. Honestly, I expected it to be just a practical solution… but it turned out to be much more. Not only did she completely transform the spaces with zero stress on my end, but the process had unexpected benefits. Our home feels calmer, more functional and even more spacious. I’ve noticed a real shift in my mood, mental clarity and productivity without the clutter that was taking over my house. She was warm, efficient, and totally nonjudgemental. She handled everything with such care and attention to detail - my partner and I are thrilled with the results. It’s like we hit the reset button on our living space and she is the reason why our house feels like a home now. I wholeheartedly recommend Laela. - N.E., Hidden Hills
Laela is a miracle, over and over again! I have worked with Elev8 Your Spaces on several different projects an they have continually made my life manageable. Being a mom of a 3 year old, I left like I was in constant chaos and could not find the time or the patience to tackle my kitchen, the playroom, plus toys throughout my whole house, and my daughter’s bedroom. Laela clearly explained our goals, the method and what she needed from me in order make the process as seamless as possible. I CAN BREATHE!! Every process Laela has taken on, takes chunks out of weight off my shoulders. I plan to have her do my master and my at-home gym as well. Not only is she amazing at what she does, Laela is also a joy to be around. I can never thank her enough for making my life feel manageable again! - J.F., Westlake Village
We were overwhelmed with just moving into our new house and not sure where to begin. There were piles everywhere, things out of place and no real system. Then came Laela from Elev8 Your Spaces and everything changed! She was not only professional and kind, but also incredibly skilled at transforming our messy home into a calm sanctuary. She helped us sort through every-single-box as well as all of my children’s toys and created a clean, functional and organized home that I absolutely love. Every room looked beautifully staged and her attention to detail on top of her thoughtful approach made the whole process very easy. If you’re feeling stuck or just need a fresh start, I highly recommend Elev8 Your Spaces. Laela truly has a gift for making your house feel like a home. - D.W., Long Beach
Everything went well: Quality of service, professionalism, organization, organizer… you name it and Laela had excellent ideas. Our kitchen, the island, dining room table and living room went from cluttered to spacious, open and usable. Our pantry has new pullout drawers that easily store, sort and provide easy access. All of our kitchen cabinets and drawers are neat and organize. We can walk through the living room and kitchen without having to walk around clutter all thanks to Laela! Even the loveseat’s hidden compartment as well as our fireplace that has cabinets flanking the sides are now neatly organized. We will use Laela again when we are ready to tackle under the staircase and our guest bedrooms. Laela, thanks for the excellent job you did on our downstairs. We are grateful and appreciate of your phenomenal skills, kind heart and “can do” spirit. S.C., Torrance
I can't recommend Elev8 Your Spaces enough! I was lucky enough to be able to work with Laela, the owner, who changed my “pantry of shame” into a functional area that is so pretty and organized that I now want to keep my doors open to show it off. I was hesitant to call in Organizer because I was worried they would shame me or try to make me get rid of things I'm not ready to say goodbye to. Her excepting, easy breezy style made me feel so comfortable and weirdly got me to be able to get rid of more clutter on my own while she was there without her having to tell me to! She is the consummate professional, getting right down to business, having all the tools and Organizer needs, offering to take a donations to the different charities she shares with and she has an amazing eye coupled with a deep talent to understand how others use things that help suggest where things should live. Thank you, Laela! I will definitely use your services again. V.K., Los Angeles
I was so impressed by Laela’s work ethic. We spent many hours working together and the results are beyond amazing. I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about organizing their home! G.M., Redondo Beach
Laela was amazing! She helped us organize our garage in one day (would have easily taken us 3-4 days)! I definitely don’t think we could’ve accomplished this without her. She was extremely responsive in messaging and quick to schedule our appointment. We felt the job was done so well we had her help us with our closet too. She was able to sort through everything and help us get rid of unused item and she took them and donated them for us! The price was extremely fair and I felt it was an excellent value for the service we requested. I can’t say enough how amazing Laela was! D.S., Claremont
Elev8 Your Spaces truely lives up to its name. Laela helped me with my garage. I was so embarrassed about how chaotic it had gotten. But after talking to her over the phone, she made me feel heard. When we met, she seemed calming and warm. Laela told me that we were going to tackle my space together and didn’t judge me or anything she saw. She was respectful of my things as well as my time and worked diligent to sort through years of accumulated items. What impressed me most was her ability to look at a space and know exactly how to make the best use of it. She recommended things I could buy so I didn’t have to do any of the guess work. I can now fit my car and storage boxes comfortably in the same space. Thank you! L.K., Toluca Lake
I am very grateful that I found Laela to help a family member that needed help on restoring some peace an order in their home, with compassion, kindness and no judgement. She is more than a label-maker type of organizer. She is able to connect and gage the bigger picture as to the complexities of hoarding. She worked one on one with my family member and they found it very helpful. I only wish we could retain her on a consistent basis because her value I like having a therapist and I realize that for long-term change, we would need her to come on a regular basis. However, my family member is not working so couldn’t afford it, but at least the experience was a good first step in awareness - a cluttered home equals a cluttered mind! It was a very positive experience that gave some hope in a dire situation. Laela - it was a pleasure and hope we can continue where we left off! Thank you so much! M.H., San Pedro
I can’t recommend Laela enough! Laela is so incredibly sweet, very easy to talk to, and makes the entire organizing process feel comfortable and super stress free! She’s extremely knowledgeable and intuitive and se picks up on both the big picture and the small details that most people don’t, including habits and behaviors, which made her approach feel very personalized and special to me as a client. She helped organize my office and paperwork beautifully (and yes, I had a lot of it), and he was truly a joy to work with from start to finish. On top of that, she’s very professional, responsive, and efficient. I’m so grateful for her help and will absolutely work with her again. We even have another session coming up this Friday. Can’t wait! P.B., West Hollywood
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laela Ellison, owner of Elev8. She helped organize my children’s room, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment she arrived, Laela was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. What truly sets her apart, though, is her patience and empathy. Decluttering can be emotionally overwhelming - especially for kids - and Laela handled the process with so much kindness, attentiveness, and respect. She took the time to connect with each child individually, listened to them and guided them thought what was honestly a very difficult process. She never rushed, never pressured, and made my kinds feel supported rather than stressed. Her calm presence and thoughtful approach turned what could have been a meltdown-filled experience into a productive and even empowering one. Laela is not just an organizer - she’s someone who truly understands people, especially children. If you’re looking for someone who is courteous, compassionate, and exceptional at what they do, I cannot recommend Laela at Elev8 Your Spaces highly enough. We are so grateful for her help and will absolutely be using her services again! S.H., Mission Hills
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Laela. She is proactive, efficient, and very communicative! Laela organized my space perfectly and made wonderful suggestions. She is very attentive and kind. I would highly recommend her. Laela not only elevated my space but she worked with the end in mind and made me think of things in a LONG TERM mindset type of way (which I loved). That was my favorite part. She gave me steps and processes (plural) to ensure that I could maintain my space even after she left, which empowered me. Laela also made it seem like a breeze. I will definitely be booking with her again! You will not be disappointed if you book her services. E.B., Downtown Los Angeles
Elev8 Your Spaces is excellent! Laela, owner-operator is a very organized and lovely person. She is very efficient and proactive. She has helped me so much. She is absolutely top and if you want someone to come in and organize your home, Laela is the person you need as you won’t find anyone better. She is - without a doubt - the best! C.A., Ontario
I, in a complete and utter nervous system shutdown - due to my inability to organize and manage my house - sent service requests through organizing and decluttering businesses on Yelp. I posted pictures practically begging for help and out of the 10 businesses ho received my service requests, the only one who got back to me was Laela at Elev8 Your Spaces. THE ONLY ONE WHO WILLINGLY, genuinely, and humanely responded. There is absolutely zero reasons to choose anyone else. Her prices were fair, she makes time the works and she is really good at what she does! She instantly asked questions that mattered; she helped me know that I was not damaged. She got to know me - meeting me on the same level and she didn’t flinch, judge or shame me, when she saw the worst of my home. After just one session with her. experiencing her methods and genius ways of decluttering and organizing, I feel hope for the first time EVER! The skills and the methods are not something you can go to school and learn. It is an innate talent she possesses. She actually teaches you how to create lasting systems and she makes it an experience that is pleasant and not the torture I feared it would be. Her various proficiencies in subjects like psychology, teaching, accountability coaching and more, is the cherry on top. She is the entire package. She provides the most elite level of this kind of work. Bottom line: Laela is the only person you will ever need if you find yourself in similar circumstances! Just hire her. It’s the best choice I have ever made! A.O., Corona
I can’t say enough good things about Elev8 Your Spaces. Laela is a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients. She helped me declutter my second bedroom, which had become a “catch all” storage area for everything. With her guidance, I learned how to let go of items that no longer served me or used and create a peaceful environment. We are going to start my closet and bedroom next. With Laela’s help and methods, I feel better and the transformation is incredible! M.S., Beverly Hills
Laela is a kind, gracious and smart woman who is a genius at organization. She helped me declutter and pack to move. I have used professional organizers twice before when moving and found both o them to be a bit judgmental, but with Laela there is absolutely NO JUDGEMENT! She encourages me ad celebrates my successes. I am also hiring her to help me organize my new home. Her prices are reasonable and I won’t hire anyone else. R.S., Long Beach
