“I appreciate finding creative ways to fit my clients’ lives into smaller spaces by sorting their priorities and clearing away what is weighing them down,” explains Gwendolyn.  “I live and work by the following philosophy,” she adds, “When we release things that don’t fit or things that hold difficult memories for us, we make space for the new and inspiring to show up in our lives.”
