Lauren Saltman, of Newfields, helped friends, family and neighbors organize their homes for 20 years before she realized that her skills could translate into a business. Two years ago she formalized her services, launching Living Simplified to help people throughout the Seacoast region declutter and organize their homes.

“It’s really what I love to do,” said Saltman.

Before the pandemic, she would go to a client’s home and work side-by-side with them, coaching them through the process of clearing out a space and establishing systems to keep the area organized in the future. But when the pandemic hit, Saltman knew she had to reimagine her business model.
