Hello There

I’m Laurie, the Founder and CEO of Another Mother’s Daughter, and I am a heart-forward resource to our community and those that support them. As life’s seasons change, families can feel overwhelmed, and I help to create a safe environment by working through the decluttering, downsizing, and organizing processes.

My own journey began when I helped my aging parents transition from their longtime family home—an experience that was both overwhelming and eye-opening. As the youngest of four siblings, I found myself taking on the majority of the responsibility, and I quickly realized how much support families need during these major life transitions. That personal experience, combined with my 18+ years in banking and financial services, gave me the unique perspective and skills needed to help others navigate these complex processes with confidence and care.

Coordinate Every Detail

We serve as your single point of contact, coordinating with movers, estate sale companies, donation organizations, and any other professionals needed. You focus on the important decisions while we handle the logistics.

Provide Ongoing Support

Throughout the process, we’re there to provide both practical guidance and emotional support. We understand that these transitions bring up complex feelings, and we’re here to help you navigate them with care and understanding.

Celebrate Your New Beginning

When your transition is complete, we celebrate with you. Whether it’s settling into a beautifully organized new space or creating a safer, more functional environment in your current home, we ensure you feel confident and comfortable in your next chapter.

Who We Serve

While we welcome anyone who needs organizing support, we specialize in serving women 65 and older in Sonoma County who are navigating the complex process of downsizing. We understand the unique challenges you face—limited family help nearby, the emotional weight of sorting through decades of memories, and the overwhelming nature of coordinating a major life transition.

We also proudly serve members of the LGBTQ community, individuals moving into assisted living or memory care, and anyone who needs help organizing their homes, garages, or offices. Our approach is always respectful, non-judgmental, and tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.

Our Comprehensive Services

We offer five specialized services that can be used individually or combined to create a complete transition solution tailored to your needs.

Project Management

Our most comprehensive service and the foundation of everything we do. We develop a straightforward timeline that highlights all essential tasks, provide weekly updates on completed work, and coordinate with all service providers. We handle every detail so you can focus on the meaningful decisions while staying connected to the process. This service is perfect for anyone who wants professional oversight and coordination throughout their entire transition.

Space Planning

We help you envision how your new space will look and function before you move. Together, we’ll “shop” your current home to choose the pieces you love while incorporating new items that suit your new environment and any current or future accessibility needs. Our space planning ensures your new home feels both familiar and perfectly suited to your lifestyle.

Sort

Many people begin their transition needing support to thoughtfully sift through a lifetime of belongings and choose the treasures they wish to bring into their new chapter. We provide gentle guidance and emotional support as you make decisions about what to keep, what to gift to family members, and what to release to benefit others. Our sorting process honors your memories while helping you create space for what matters most.

Release

When you’re ready to part with items that no longer serve your current life, our team ensures they find meaningful new homes rather than ending up in a landfill. We connect you with local charities, help arrange donations that align with your values, and even facilitate gifting special items to family members or friends. This process is handled with sensitivity and respect for the significance your belongings have held.

Unpack

Once everything has arrived in your new home, it’s time to settle in and make it truly yours. Our experts help place your belongings thoughtfully, considering how often you’ll use them, any space constraints, and your daily routines. We implement organizing systems that will serve you long-term, making your transition as smooth as possible and helping your new space feel like home from day one.
