Founder & Lead Transition Specialist

Why I started
Next Chapter

I watched my own parents face the overwhelming reality of leaving the home they'd raised our family in. The house was full of decades of memories — every closet, every corner held something meaningful. And there was no one to help them navigate that process with patience and care.

That experience stayed with me. As my husband Kev built his career in Edmonton real estate, I kept seeing the same story play out — families paralyzed by the sheer volume of decisions that come with downsizing, adult children trying to help aging parents from across the country, and homes sitting unsold because no one could face the decluttering.

I realized there was a gap — not for another moving company, but for someone who could sit with families during the emotional weight of transition and handle all the logistics so they didn't have to carry it alone.

Next Chapter Downsizing & Design was born from that belief: that every life transition deserves thoughtful, hands-on support — from the first overwhelming closet to walking into a home that's already set up and ready to live in.

What Our Clients Say

"

Jordan and her team handled our mother's move with such grace and patience. We live out of province and couldn't have done it without them. Every box was labelled, every room was set up perfectly. Mom walked in and cried happy tears.

I was dreading this move for two years. Jordan made it feel manageable from the very first phone call. She understood what I was going through and never rushed me through any decision.
