Recently, Kellie has worked administratively and operationally in several startup companies. This work, combined with her previous educational experiences and her passion for helping, led Kellie to pursue her life coach certification. Kellie has also spent the last 15 summers mentoring college and teenage girls at a summer camp.

Her family's frequent moves honed her skills at packing, organizing, and unpacking as quickly as possible to settle into a new home and life.
Sarah believes in the power of organized spaces for a calmer mind, allowing you to live life to the fullest and reduce unnecessary stress.

By doing so, she empowers her clients to focus on what truly brings them happiness and ultimately creates more joyful lives.
