ABOUT ME
My name is Shannon Belanger (she/her) and I am the founder of Simply SOS. I'm a natural redhead, lover of chai tea and aspiring yogini.
My husband and I live in West Edmonton and are the proud parents to two little boys, two rescue dogs, six fish, one aquatic frog and an African fat tail gecko named Gus!
I have a degree in Psychology from The University of Western Ontario and a graduate diploma in Human Resources Management from Humber College. I am a Certified Professional in Human Resources with over 19 years of senior hr leadership experience and am a member of the Professional Organizers of Canada (POC).
2016 was a big year for our family. Between our first son's neurological disorder diagnosis and the birth of our second, the daily downtown corporate career grind brought me to a crossroads. Career shift, at my age? Could I, should I?
Having provided years of organizational services to family, friends and most importantly, my employer - a shift to professional organizing seemed an ideal way to utilize my education, experience and passion to "DO GOOD" for others.
At Simply SOS - Professional Organizers we help our clients UNDERSTAND why their home or is dysfunctional and how to FIX it.
Let us bring calm to your chaos.
