Edith holds a Master of Divinity, the standard graduate degree for ministry. She was ordained in the Unitarian Universalist tradition.
Unitarian Universalism welcomes people of any faith or none. The work does not require any particular belief, and Edith does not bring religion into a session unless you bring it first.
Edith has spent years sitting with people in some of the hardest weeks of their lives. After a death. Before one. After a marriage ended. After an estrangement. After a diagnosis.
People kept asking if she could come over and help with the house. The clothes after a husband died. The shelves of a parent’s home before a move. The room of a child who was no longer here.
Over time it became its own work. Now it is what she does full time, with people in Memphis and across North America.
Edith grew up in a family of people who held onto things. Her mother. Her grandmother. Her father. Three generations.
She has struggled with the pattern herself as an adult. She has known what it is to look at a room and not know where to start. She has known what it is to let a house get away from her. She has known what it is to not invite anyone over.
She has also done the work to move through it. That is part of why she can sit with you in it. She is not on the outside looking in.

Messie Condo. A book Edith keeps near.
Sessions are not lectures, and they are not therapy. They are conversations with the objects in front of you.
Edith asks specific questions about a closet, a box, a room, or a decision. The questions are about your life, not generic prompts.
When grief or feeling comes up, she stays with it. She does not push past it. She also does not let the conversation drift away from a decision. Most people get stuck by letting the decision wait. Edith does not let it wait. She has called herself “a gentle nag,” and that is a fair description of what she does in the room.
You decide every time. Nothing leaves your home without your call. Nothing changes without your say-so. She does not photograph anything. She does not invite anyone in. She does not bring an agenda.
