Meet the Founders
We’re Melinda and Ashley—a pair of doctors, moms, and wellness-focused organizers helping busy families and professionals create calmer, more functional lives. Together, we bring both strategy and soul to organizing the spaces and systems that matter most.
Whether it’s your pantry, closet, digital files, emails, or daily schedule—we step in with compassion, clarity, and zero judgment. We guide you through the clutter and leave you lighter, clearer, and ready to breathe again.
Melinda Rathkopf, Co-Founder
As a physician, veteran, and mom, I understand how the pressures of work and home can build up fast. Over time, I’ve learned that organization isn’t just about neatness—it’s about creating systems that ease stress, boost productivity, and make room for what truly matters.
With decades of experience as a pediatric allergist/immunologist and an MBA, I bring both structure and empathy to my work. I specialize in organizing physical and digital spaces, using AI tools and online apps to simplify routines and improve efficiency.
Through Declutter Docs, I combine clinical precision with compassion to help busy professionals and families build lasting systems that reduce overwhelm and create space for clarity, creativity, and calm.
Ashley Sewall, Co-Founder
As a mom of two young daughters, I understand how quickly life can feel cluttered—at home and in our minds. I’ve learned the value of simple, thoughtful systems that support daily life rather than complicate it.
With a PhD in Human Factors Psychology, over a decade in user experience research, and work as both a real estate agent and yoga teacher, I bring a people-first approach to creating calm, functional spaces.
At Declutter Docs, I combine research, design, and real-world experience to help busy families and professionals let go of overwhelm and find clarity—at home, at work, and within themselves.
