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.

    Lauren started her career at a wealth management firm in NYC. After several years, she moved to Austin and joined the real estate brokerage Compass, where she worked in a client-facing role before joining a top realtor team. Having moved a lot throughout her life, Lauren was drawn to working in real estate to help others find their place in the world and be a resource in a time of transition. It was then that she discovered We Heave Ho and knew she wanted to be a part of it. “Anita and the We Heave Ho team care deeply about their clients. They are driven to go above and beyond - no matter what transition- and make a real difference for people.” Lauren currently resides in NYC and is training with the We Heave Ho team.

She recently joined the team at WeHeaveHo and is thrilled to be part of this great group of women. Except for the part where Anita is always trying to get her on camera!!

  • 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!

  • Hèctor Platero

    Hèctor Platero

    Héctor has owned and operated his own moving and junk removal company for the past eight years. He met Anita at one of her jobs, and since then, they have been working together, moving and organizing homes and businesses. Hector is the lucky man in the group and enjoys working with all the lovely ladies (his words!). Every job is an opportunity to learn something new; it is a fun environment and consistently rewarding.

  • 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.

WE HEAVE HO™

We love to help people declutter and organize their spaces. Helping clients edit their things preparing to move out or unpacking and setting up their new home is a production within itself. The casting of the right people is as important as the aspect of getting it all done. We have years of experience in these areas and have been able to tie them all together to create WE HEAVE HO. We are based in the tri-state area; however we love road trips and have done many jobs in other states as far as California. We are in the process of developing an affordable and sustainable product line to help people with their projects. We are also creating on-line tutorials to help women around the country start their own WE HEAVE HO businesses in their own city or town. We are pitching a reality television show so you can follow along with our crazy day to day adventures! It’s all about helping people and thats what makes us feel good.

“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.”
