Who is All This?

All This is operated by Madeline Sorenson with the help of Tommy McNamara based in Eugene, Oregon. For years they have been helping people deal with the stuff in their lives. They have worked together since 2016 as caregivers, non-profit organizers, land stewards, gardeners, resellers, and travel/life companions. 2022-2023 was a big year for the couple as both of their families experienced big life transitions where Madeline and Tommy took the lead on helping with downsizing 35 years of things, memories, and projects. All that has led to All This. They bring a systematic and orderly way of approaching the huge task of dealing with “all this” along with their gentle and patient demeanor. They want to hear your stories, they want to help you to have the life you want after your transition whatever it may be.
