Compassionate downsizing & moving

services for seniors.

Our approach is rooted in compassion, respect, and personalized care.

We understand that when your parents need to rightsize, downsize, or move, it’s much more than logistics; it’s an emotional journey. Rya Rightsizing assists families in Squamish, Whistler, and the Sea to Sky region in sorting, organizing, donating, or selling items to simplify their lives or prepare for a move. We listen to your needs and create a plan that feels supportive and manageable. We handle every downsize and move with dignity, a deep respect for the past, and a step toward a fulfilling chapter ahead.

What clients say.

Lisa is a miracle worker. Within moments she had taken one of the most overwhelming situations [of my Squamish storage locker] and made it manageable. My biggest takeaway was, still is, a sense of lightness: Lisa helped lessen the crippling burden of having too much stuff and having to declutter… I stepped away after working with her for a few hours, with half of the amount of clutter, much of it directed to places I felt really positive about (from Squamish women’s shelters to other nonprofits that Lisa had identified as appropriate recipients), along with a plan she helped put in place with ways of moving forward. The emotional weight off my shoulders is huge. The results are instantaneous. Lisa’s manner is gentle and encouraging. She knows the right questions to ask and knows how to support you through some of the harder dilemmas. She provides resources, options, and momentum and smiles throughout. Working with Lisa is a delight, and the service she is providing is so highly recommended to families and individuals facing the tricky situation of how to honour heirlooms, navigating hoarding situations, and needing to make difficult choices. Lisa’s services are an absolute gift. I am beyond grateful!

Rightsizing means adjusting your living situation, or belongings, to better fit your current needs, lifestyle, & goals.

It’s about creating a home that supports who you are today. Unlike downsizing, it’s not just about having less, it’s about finding the right balance and keeping what brings joy now.

At Rya Rightsizing, we help you make thoughtful choices, reduce stress, and create a functional, comforting space that feels right for this stage of life. Decluttering to simplify your space and make room for what truly supports you & ensures your home feels just right.
