Bridget Davis
Bridget is the supply queen because she loves organization. With 4 kids, homes to manage, and endless schedules to keep, her main focus was always on being organized. Enter the supplies. Now that she is an empty nester, she wanted to share her skills in a new way. Since joining We Heave Ho, Bridget realized after a few jobs, that there is so much more than just getting the clients organized or helping them move. “We are serious hand holders and our care factor for our clients is more than the hours we spend in their homes, and I know that at the end of the day, we have made a difference in their lives.” Bridget always shows up with her mission at hand, a smile on her face, running shoes on her feet, and supplies in the car.

Brooke Morell
Brooke’s obsession with being tidy began around the young age of three. “I used to take my socks off, fold them neatly and place them back in my shoes side by side on the stairs.” Over the years, she has realized that holding onto less makes people feel good. Brooke’s background as a magazine editor, stylist, design assistant and floral designer, helped her tap into her organizational skills. These are the skills she brings with her to We Heave Ho. As Brooke says… “We help people see the light at the end of their project.” This alone makes it all feel less daunting”.

For Nur, working at We Heave Ho has given her a new appreciation for how important helping people transition or organize can be. What she enjoys most so far is meeting new people, helping them with their transitions, and seeing the smiles on their faces when a job is done!

Barbara Sulliman
Barbara has lots of experience and wonderful organizational skills. she says, “I was most probably hired by Anita because I have personally moved 9000 times in my lifetime and now consider moving a hidden talent. I have been told that I’m fun to be around because no matter what the situation, I am completely unoffendable” (which of course is a must when moving is involved) Finally, being the mother of five daughters Barbara can honestly say that she has a certified black belt in organizing closets!

Mary Liz Toulouse
As a graduate of Boston College in 1995, Mary Liz moved to London and started her career in finance, but realized it was not the career path meant for her. In 2000, she enrolled in graduate school at Manhattanville College. She studied Elementary Education while at the same time starting her teaching career. She taught elementary education at Greenwich Academy and then Convent of the Sacred Heart until 2004. After getting married and having twins, her focus turned to her family. Both of her twins had health challenges, and this, you could say, turned into a full-time job. When her children became teenagers, Mary Liz wanted to start working again. Still, like many women her age, she was unsure what that would be since she was "out of the loop" for so long. She had known Anita for quite some time, and they worked together when Mary Liz's parents moved out of their family home in Rye. Anita and Mary Liz clicked right away! When working with Anita, Mary Liz saw firsthand how, when moving, you are not just packing someone's things into a box but actually parts of their lives.
“I happen to know first-hand, that life is messy. This is why I do what I do. I like to help people. It’s the DNA of my brand.”
