Jessica Dolan
Hi, my name is Jessica Dolan of Room to Breathe Home & Office Organizing and I am an anal retentive, neat freak. Oh, wait a second, this isn’t my OA (Organizers Anonymous) introduction. Yes, I will fully admit that I’m “one of those people”. “One of those” individuals who is on time for appointments, knows where everything in the house is located, can place my fingers on a file in 5 seconds flat, and has time each and every single day to do just what I want…and not feel the least bit guilty while I’m doing it! I AM a Professional Organizer….or rather a Bringer of Order!
I really love what I do and I know that I can make enormous changes in people’s lives, homes and offices. As you know, the work itself isn’t always much fun and is rather tedious. I’m looking to lighten it up a bit.
Some of you may be asking yourselves “what the heck is a professional organizer?” A professional organizer enriches your life by helping you to decrease stress, increase productivity, increase efficiency, improve physical environments, save money, and last, but definitely not least, allow you to regain time for yourself. This is done by designing systems that use simple organizing principles designed uniquely around you and your situation. There is no right or wrong, only what works for you!
Would you really want to work with someone who is sort-of organized, mostly on time or has a general idea of where an item is located? I don’t think so! Trust me, you want the anal retentive, neat freak and that’s exactly who I am!
Did I mention that my methods for successful organizing have been featured at several Professional Women’s events? In addition, I’m the co-founder and past President of WiNGs (Women’s Network Group), Creator of the EWE (Entrepreneurial Women’s Expo), a member of NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers), a member of NAPO Pittsburgh Chapter, SCORE Volunteer, a Leadership Centre County 2008 Graduate, a PA’s Best 50 Women in Business Recipient 2008, and a 2007 Top 100 Business.
I’m truly looking forward to helping you create room to breathe in your lives, cheesy I know, but so true!

Simply,
-Jessica

I’ve been a professional organizer in the Centre Region for over 7 years and joined Room to Breathe to follow my true passion. As the only one of seven in my household to be organized, I understand the daily (and sometimes hourly) challenges of maintaining a functional yet comfortable and fun home. Some days are easier than others! But I have come to appreciate “the simple life” and love helping others discover it, too. A few tidbits:
- Born and raised (mostly) in southern middle Tennessee. Yes, I still have a slight drawl, y’all.
- Organized my crayon boxes by color groups and was always the official family Gift Wrapper because I loved making the presents look “just right.”
- Graduated Valedictorian of my class, attended UT Chattanooga before deciding that college life was not for me, a decision I’ve regretted for years. I then began my training in court reporting.
- Met the love of my life (JT) at my best friend’s wedding and after 7 months of dating, we decided to marry. That was in 1989. He must still like me.
- Mom to three of the most loving, sensitive, and grounded kids I’ve ever met.
- Set up new filing system for a busy attorney’s office as a 20-year-old office assistant.
- Held several administrative assistant positions, which always require the ability to organize and multi-task.
- Worked as the advertising coordinator of a large real estate agency, handling the advertising needs of 50+ realtors, meeting deadlines, and setting up an internet presence.
- Ran a home daycare – enough said!
I began my organizing business after acknowledging my given strengths and passions, instead of following what I thought society expected. I’ve discovered that when you do what you love, it never seems as though you’re working!

I can relate to the stress and excitement of relocating! I have moved and sold several homes very successfully and look forward to sharing what I’ve learned to do and not to do.
As a Staging Professional, I’m ready to be part of your successful selling team! I will always respect your input and honor your possessions while offering my professional opinions and suggestions. It can be an overwhelming and emotional time, but I am here to help ease the anxiety moving can cause. I look forward to working with you in simplifying the process of preparing your house to sell for top dollar and as quickly as possible!

Watching home movies is a ton of fun! Organizing and finding space for all those movies…not so much. Ever wish your video tape collection were as easy to watch and organize as your DVD collection? Well, that’s why Jessica has added my services to Room to Breathe.
I’ve been helping people transform their dusty old video tapes into high quality DVDs since 2004. Just think, no more having to fast forward or rewind to find your favorite parts. And you know how time and use degrades those video tapes? DVDs are lossless, which means your home movies are protected and won’t fade away.
In addition to video transferring, I also offer audio and photographic services. Imagine listening to your old records and cassette tapes on CD or watching your old slides and photos as a DVD slideshow. What a fun way to reminisce with family and friends!
Together we can organize, enhance and preserve your memories for generations to come.

With 4 children, I’m afraid I know a thing or two about taking mass quantities of photos—the record was 3 rolls of 36 photos in just the first 3 days of my first baby’s arrival! A lot has changed in those past 14 years in both my life and the photography industry. In my personal life I realized the hours I was keeping with my career as a family therapist wasn’t working well with the hours I wanted to be home with my children. In the photography industry, the use of the digital camera has presented individuals with a whole new kind of photo disorganization.
I can help you celebrate memories through preserving and organizing these treasures, make sense of your precious black and whites, or create order out of digital chaos. There a variety of storage and display choices that make sense and can be customized to your needs. You can now rest easy knowing that your photos are going to last long enough to show your great-grandchildren…maybe even your great, great, great grandchildren!
Together we can transform your precious photo memories into albums, portfolios, archival picture boxes, frames or creative displays…and the best part is that you’ll be surprised what a joy the journey is!
