​​​​Mary Lou Meddaugh, Life coach, author, PROFESSIONAL organizer

I offer a range of Coaching/Consulting/Professional Organizing  services, all designed to help you reach your vision for growth and happiness.


Whether you're looking for a career change, re-inventing yourself after a downsizing or retirement or are starting a new venture, coaching can help you keep on track and stay motivated to achieve your results. 


I recently launched a new service as a Professional Organizer!  I help people declutter paperwork for ease of managing both electronic and paper files with customized solutions based on their individual needs. I assess current systems for managing paperwork; discuss what clients' desired outcomes are and create a sustainable system that works for them!

"Mary Lou has excellent listening skills and asked the right questions to help me clarify my goals which then put me on the right track for success"  Dave S.

"Working with Mary Lou is a great experience.  She inspires you to dig deeper to discover your true talents and provides insight and guidance along the way."  Joanne M.​

Mary Lou helped me with my career transition after leaving AT&T to work on my own initiative including marketing myself as a Professional Musician which has been a life long passion. She is a good listener; asks important questions and cares enough to help keep you on track with goals & action items. Mary Lou puts her own special brand of positivity, professionalism and thoughtfulness with ease and zen like focus. I highly suggest you check her out if you are in transition. Thanks MaryLou, I am now getting more paid work as a Musician."  Alan Sobel


"Mary Lou's Seminar provided some wonderful guidelines in clarifying my objectives and practical steps on how to get started.  The visioning exercise was an excellent tool which helped to expand my thinking.  Mary Lou's style and approach are engaging and I found the Seminar to be fun with valuable take-aways."  Francine Brooks



For more than 13 years, I worked as a Senior Marketing Communications Manager in the US for an international company headquartered in Europe. I mentored and coached my team and colleagues around the globe on how to manage organizational change, set goals and achieve success.


After 5 major life changes including the sudden death of my spouse, being downsized, relocating and re-inventing myself, I transformed my own life.  I have leveraged my experience to help others dealing with major change. Being a cancer survivor, I also know first hand the value of our life's energy. 


I am a Workshop Facilitator and have conducted seminars on embracing change using a 5-step innovative process that I developed. I have served as a Cancer Coach with the Cancer Wellness organization.  I am currently in a leadership position as Co-Chair of  Western Mass Coaching Alliance (WMCA) (http://westernmasscoaches.com/).  


I recently published a self-help book in a memoir format: "Navigating 5 Life Changes, An Odyssey of Resiliency and Hope" to help others dealing with major life change.


I am a Professional Organizer and help people take control of their paperwork and create customized filing solutions for my clients.  I facilitate workshops on Clutter Clearing and how small actions can have a big impact.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and am a Certified Life Coach through Coach Training Alliance (http://coachtrainingalliance.com/) which is accredited by the International Coach Federation.
