In Her Own Words...
Dana Barash, the President, Owner, and Professional Organizer, founded Spacial Serenity to bring order and efficiency to the lives of her clients in their space at home and/or work.
By freeing clients from distractions and working through the process, clients achieve a more serene and more peaceful environment where they are calmer, clearer, and more productive.
"I had the idea for Spacial Serenity in 2006, but the idea didn’t materialize until 2012. I myself had to be in the right spot in my life with the right mindset and strong determination and belief to start this business. I had to eliminate the clutter from my world to really be able to follow my dreams. Prior to building this business, I worked as a Life & Job Coach for a severely disabled client, who was emotionally and physically challenged. I found myself developing unique organizational solutions for her. It occurred to me that all of us have internal obstacles that block us from taking steps forward. If we surround ourselves with too much external “stuff” or “clutter” we will never get to the exact nature of our blocks. My goal is to help people clear up their outer worlds so that they can find the time, energy and motivation to dig deeply into the internal wounds that stop them from being their best, from seeking what’s best, and from having the best life they can achieve.
We all deserve a chance to find peace and lead fulfilling and successful professional and personal lives.
We need to be willing to give ourselves the chance to achieve this. This may sound funny, but the truth is it all starts with the organization of your space. A clear thought can only be achieved in a cleared environment, full of positive spatial energy and order.
As a new entrepreneur, I didn’t have to practice what I preached; instead I began to preach how I lived and shared this gift with the world. I had been living this way for years and saw what I was able to accomplish once I cleared out the cobwebs. In my case, I was always organized with my space, but my thoughts needed order. When I was ready to bring Spacial Serenity to life, I did it the right way—from the bottom up. I went to a program. I received the aid I needed. I developed a functional business plan. I found believers, and I began to grow my business, one client at a time.
I knew all the work I had done to unclutter and to focus my mind made me able to follow my heart. It worked! Like many of you reading this, I had to remove the obstacles that were blocking my path; then I could move forward and shine.
In 2006, Spacial Serenity was just a thought and a vision. Now it’s a reality that’s become a savior and safety net for so many who have floundered. We all have struggles and the answer is right there: Just ask for help. There is no shame in asking; the shame is in continuing to sink when someone is clearing the way and throwing you a life preserver.
In 2012, Spacial Serenity was open for business and I knew that success was my only option. Since then, I have been entering businesses and homes in the Nassau and Suffolk communities, helping others to eliminate unnecessary distractions and obstacles that stand in there way of success. I customize and implement organizational strategies that are convenient and sustainable.
My main goal is not just to get the space organized, but to teach the maintenance of organization by instilling certain systematic tools into my clients daily life.
I also motivate them to use their own abilities to follow through with this practice. I perform this process with my clients during the project, and it’s incredible to see them apply this skill into all other areas of their lives.
Each time I remove my clients' external clutter, it enables them to become empowered to deal with their internal clutter. I energize people by opening a pathway for them to think clearly and independently, free from the distractions that often block their progress and decision-making skills.
I create unique, individualized system solutions that enable people and businesses to function more smoothly, fully, efficiently, productively, and produce sustainable and profitable results. This process is powerful. Let me create one for you and stand back, watch the miracles occur.”
I was interviewed the day before thanksgiving and I have nothing but gratitude in my heart ❤️ to share.
Listen here:
The interview is about 6 minutes long and boy was I nervous, but luckily I gave some good insight about my service and my inspiration for it all.
In February it will be my 12th year in business and privately when I think about the fact that this company was founded by me and has been run by me this whole time… I’m actually in awe of what I created. Honestly it’s one of the most impressive things I’ve ever accomplished!
November 27th I’ll also be celebrating 2 years of being a wife!!! That’s pretty 🤩 impressive too 🥰 lol
But seriously and most importantly I’m so blessed and grateful to have had the support I did and continue to have. All the ABA members gave me strength and encouragement, direction and guidance however, some really special ones even hired me like Mitch Tobol, Ellen Volpe, Diane Caputi, Gary Levien, Bob Fusaro, Beth Granger, and Rich Isaac. These were some of my first clients and first cheerleaders. They believed in me when I had no references to give just my “elevator pitch”. They loved my business model and they hired my smile and my energy I’m sure just praying 🙏 my talent matched.
I really thought that was about - me supporting them in their business and home spaces, but now I see it was also so I could shine and gain confidence in my craft. They helped build my foundation and they encouraged my growth. Their support will never be forgotten or go unrecognized in my heart.
My company is highly successful now, and has so many more facets now then it did then including a construction aspect! Spacial Serenity,Inc. was built from nothing into something. These clients, mentors and friends are the ones who gave me my wings and taught me how to fly. They fed my business ethic, my reputation, my relationships and my spirit to keep going. It’s not for the faint of heart to build a business with only $18 in your savings account, but I did it on the shoulders of many matured business owners that had found there way long before me.
I rode on their faith and borrowed their courage. I thank you 🙏 from the bottom of my heart and I thank all my other clients who have worked with me since. Without you I would not shine, I would not make a difference in this world 🌎 and I would not be able to give my inner most passion purpose. I am a truly grateful soul.
I hope and pray for anyone suffering this holiday season and I want you to know there is always a way through if you seek it, it will find you.
Happy Thanksgiving & be blessed.
