Tracy Marsh
Tracy Marsh grew up in Grey County. After she started her family and raising children, her career led her to the GTA. By 2021 she decided to leave the corporate world behind and move 'home', which is now Meaford. Her own Mother's struggle to move to a retirement community showed the gap that exists in professional services for older adults.
Tracy received her training as a Professional Organizer, established House 'n Order, and now has a healthy business, operating throughout Grey, Bruce and Simcoe Counties, helping adults through life's big transitions, and sticky messes.
Tracy was the winner at the 2023 Meaford Dragons pitch event, which led to her additional qualifications to work with individuals with Chronic Disorganization and Hoarding Disorder.
