About Eileen:

A big “aha” moment led Eileen to break free from a 25-yr corporate career to create work more aligned with her heart and soul. After simplifying her own life, she created Simplify with Eileen in 2009 with a mission to guiding business and individual clients how to simplify and enjoy fuller, more abundant and meaningful lives.

Eileen empowers her clients with the tools & strategies to thrive in a life free from clutter, chaos and distraction. Over the years, she’s witnessed how transforming your surroundings & space with better systems, workflow, and functionality can absolutely transform your overall life. Inspiring her clients to reshape their relationship with "stuff" and embrace new ways to decide how much is enough, is core to what Eileen does.
