Hi! I am Elizabeth Smith, founder of Simplifying Your Life.

My whole career has been spent helping people create simplicity and balance in their lives because it’s not only something I have a great aptitude for, but I’ve always found it to be incredibly rewarding work.

I have extraordinary organizational skills, and the bulk of my career was spent managing busy medical offices. In 2019, I felt compelled to support more individuals to create simplicity in their lives and it led me to launch this business, originally as a Professional Organizer.

It is largely through that work, supporting seniors through moves and downsizing, that I really came to realize that there is a true loneliness epidemic in Canada. As humans - we are wired for connection, we fail to thrive without it. The clients that I was supporting in their downsizing journeys were craving companionship, anxious about the future, and often just thankful for a listening ear or someone to help them navigate a phone call because of some hearing loss.

My superpower is finding ways to make people’s lives simpler and more joyful. I wanted to do more.

After some soul-searching and meaningful conversations with other people I love and admire doing this work, I decided to shift my business focus in 2025 and move fully into Companion Care as a focus. I am excited about the journey and evolution of my business. I know it won’t always be an easy one - some individuals I am supporting will be navigating more difficult paths than others. It will be my honour to walk that path with you, should you choose to work with me.

Outside of Work

Back at home, I am supported by my adorable and charming pup, Roxie, and my husband of over 29 years, Ken. When I am not supporting clients, you can find me in the mountains sipping on a chai tea or reading a mystery. I also enjoy golf in the summer and cross country skiing in the winter.

Community Involvement

I remain involved with YEG Organizers, Edmonton’s Professional Organizer’s Association. I serve on their Board as the Secretary and I will honour my commitment to them, even while I am transitioning my business. I love their commitment to choosing a charitable association to support quarterly and quite proud of the work we have done.

I am a proud member and volunteer with Women in Business Association Strathcona County. I appreciate their mission to provide access to resources and opportunities for women in business.

Simplifying Your Life is also a proud founding member of the Silver Connection Network, a group of senior-serving professionals dedicated to positively impacting the lives of aging adults and their caregivers.
