My calm, supportive and organized approach to downsizing is designed to make the process full of ease and connection. We’ll review your space, talk about your needs, assess the belongings you love, work together to decide what to keep, donate or sell, and then make a plan for moving forward.

Sessions are three hours; I’ve found this to be just the right amount of time to remain focused and energized and bring projects to completion.

You can expect gentle questions from me, some laughter, and a lot of focused attention on your space. What you decide to keep is completely up to you. I am here to guide you and support you through the downsizing process.

I never push folks to pass along things before they are ready. I am here as a guide to support you as you make decisions that are right for you.

In fact, I'll often suggest that you place your treasures on featured shelves for a while so that you can truly enjoy all the memories that the object offers. Sometimes clients discover that after a few weeks they are ready to let go of the item, other times they realize how much they love it and are grateful that it is now prominently displayed. Either way, the process gets you closer to creating space for what you love and for making space for your future.

This is your process. You get to go at the pace that works for you.

Time is your most valuable resource when it comes to downsizing. I often encourage my clients to give themselves two or three years to go through all of their belongings so they have the spaciousness to determine what is truly important to them. Of course many people don't have the luxury of time, and in situations where a move is right around the corner, I bring calm and ease into the process.

I believe that memories of special times and loved ones are to be treasured. I encourage you to spend as much time as you need with all your belongings, retelling stories and sharing what the items evoke for you. Oftentimes my clients find that when they are able to connect with the memory and the sense of love and joy and gratitude that is sparked by an item, they realize that the memory is what is precious not the object.

I love working with seniors! Downsizing is overwhelming for anyone and it can be especially challenging for seniors. I regularly support individuals as well as couples to downsize before a significant move. Together we make a plan, sort through belongings, share stories, handle sentimental items, and understand what will be sold, donated or brought to the new space. If the move is local, I can also help set up the new home so everything is organized and feels supportive for this next chapter.
