About the author
I’m Melissa Freasier, director of Downsizing with Care, where we’ve spent over 6000 hours guiding clients through the downsizing process with empathy and understanding.
I understand that downsizing is about more than just getting rid of things. It’s about emotions, memories, and making the best choices.
With several years of experience helping clients downsize and relocate, I’ve seen it all.
I’ve never met a household object that I haven’t been able to find a destination for.
