Infinite Care
Apr. 02, 2015
Monica is the founder of Simple Easy Transition, a highly personalized senior move management organization that provides a wide range of planning and relocation services that are tailored to meet the specific needs of their clients, making every move “simple and easy”. Monica brings her diverse background of working in the health care industry to managing marketing events for corporate clients like Loblaws, Hyundai and Scotiabank and her own personal experience in assisting her grandparents in the downsizing process. Monica is not only a certified relocation specialist but an author, speaker and coach. She is the co-chair of The Integrated Partnership for Seniors and one of the cofounders of the Touching Base Seniors and Boomers Expo group. Monica is very passionate about what she does and believes that it’s important to start the process of downsizing early, “Everyone plans their retirement but no one includes downsizing in the process. Downsizing should be part of your plan, don’t wait till something happens, then families have to react. This is where nine out of ten times families make the wrong decision.” “Looking back, I know that everything that I have experienced personally or in business has led me to opening the doors of Simple Easy Transition. Little did I know that the relationship I had with my grandparent’s would have played such a significant role in my life’s work supporting others through all aspects of downsizing. My goal for my clients is to make their move as stress free as possible by taking care of all aspects of their move, making it “simple and easy”. |
