Melissa Smallwood’s Summary

I own a company focusing on professional organizing services. We believe that decluttering and simplifying life is the key to good health and happiness. We strive to assist our clients in creating life balance. At Organized Life by Design, LLC we help you get from where you are to where you need to be by turning chaos into calm.

We specialize in simplifying life for busy women and families. Services provided include phone, email and Skype organization coaching and family life management services. We offer seminars and classes to help others learn the skills we use in organizing and managing every day life.

I am a human services professional, focused on providing order from chaos to women all over the country and particularly the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. I have worked with the senior population since 2000 in a variety of settings including outpatient mental health, adult day care, senior center outreach, skilled nursing facilities and group homes. I always enjoy meeting those that share my passion for seniors and ministry in general, as well as other non profit professionals.
