About Lemon Aide Consulting
Owner Amy Lemon is on a mission to provide for others what she & her siblings were able to give their mother - peace of mind in a safe, organized & cozy home.
After helping their mother downsize, move & age in place in a new home, Amy wondered what others do in these intense situations when there are no siblings or friends to help. This is the origin story of Lemon Aide Consulting (LAC).
Amy helps individuals & their loved ones with their personal effects & emotions as they transition through their life phases. An empty nest, a diagnosis, aging & downsizing are anxiety inducing. Amy is a compassionate professional who expertly smooths the way.
Lemon Aide Consulting has helped dozens of clients prepare for all types of life transitions including:
• An empty nest
• A diagnosis or disability
• Aging
• Downsizing
• End-of-Life
Amy has a MA in psychology, completed training with Living Well, Dying Well & is certified in Person Centered End-of-Life Fundamentals.
Although not a licensed counselor, Amy has extensive training & experience in mental health resources. She is solution-focused & uses shame-free methods to help clients prepare & get organized.
During her 25-year career at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., Amy worked in several pan-institutional departments, including archival offices, where she developed her knowledge in archiving, preserving, digitizing & repairing personal effects.
As a hands-on artist she also enjoys creatively repurposing personal effects so sentimental items can come out of storage to be enjoyed on a daily basis.
Amy maintains an abundance of contacts at the Smithsonian who can serve as subject matter experts to advise on nearly any client’s personal items or collections.
Amy also uses her extensive writing & editing experience to help clients secure their legacies for future generations by writing and editing client biographies, personal reflections, letters, ethical legacies & final wishes.

What I paid was worth every penny! Amy was by my side working with me and providing me with strategies to keep me organized and on task. I still can't believe how much I accomplished with Amy in just two days! Amy is easy to work with. She is organized and ready to roll up her sleeves. I can’t wait to work with Amy again.
“Amy was integral in facilitating a large-scale downsizing that included a vast array of items ranging from high-end furniture, jewelry, antique coins and watches. She provided an organized and methodical manner to what is typically a very frustrating endeavor. This allowed me to easily make decisions as to how to proceed and Amy provided input whenever I was unsure. She also assisted with the logistics regarding getting the items to charities and buyers. She did all this while maintaining an upbeat, positive attitude. Her contribution was invaluable during a very stressful time.”
“Amy has been helping me organize my personal effects. I'm in my 90s and don’t want to burden anyone with my things. Amy has helped me ensure that doesn’t happen which is a tremendous relief.”
“My experience with Amy at Lemon Aide Consulting vastly exceeded my expectations. Amy put a lot of organization and focus into the process to get the job done…I cannot emphasize enough the speed at which this happened. What was taking me more than a decade to do myself, we were able to complete in 4 days. My basement is now a fully organized clean slate, and I can finally move forward with my almost decade-long plan to turn it into additional living and entertaining space."
