About Philip Bickley

I’m Phil. I started Steadwell because I’ve seen how overwhelming life transitions can be and how much lighter they feel with the right people around you.

Downsizing a home, sorting through a lifetime of belongings, or finding steadiness during a time of change can trigger all kinds of emotions, and you deserve to have the space to go through this process. I offer practical support with a steady hand and a listening heart. A meaningful transition isn’t just about organizing or logistics—it’s about honoring the meaning behind the move.

I’ve spent the past three decades working as an artist, counselor, business owner, and volunteer. I’ve lived through grief, relocation, and reinvention, and I’ve been there for others through it too. Somewhere along the way, I realized my best work happens when I’m there to provide calm and guidance in the middle of a shift. That’s what Steadwell is for.

The name comes from the idea of a place to pause, like a bridge between what was and what’s next. My approach blends respect for your emotional process with hands-on, thoughtful planning. We’ll make decisions together, at your pace. And if money is tight, we’ll find a way that works. I trust people to know what’s fair.

I live simply, grow food with my family, and spend most of my time trying to leave things better than I found them. I bring that same ethic to this work.

If you're facing a transition, or helping someone else through one, I’d be honored to support you.

Let’s find steadiness in the shift,
Phil

Steadiness
I aim to be a calm presence in moments that feel uncertain. Transitions are rarely just logistical—they’re emotional, and I meet them with patience and care.

Respect
Every object, every story, every space carries meaning. I don’t rush the process or tell you what matters—I listen, and we go from there.

Simplicity
Less noise, fewer assumptions. I believe in working clearly and honestly, without pressure or pretense.

Integrity
No upselling. No hidden fees. No judgment. Just real help, built on trust and transparency.

Community
We aren’t meant to do this alone. I believe in reconnecting with neighbors, leaning on local networks, and finding strength in shared effort.

Creativity
Every person, every home, every transition is different. I bring a creative eye and a flexible mindset to each new situation.

Sustainability
I try to keep things out of landfills when possible, and I support donation, reuse, and repair. I also believe in sustaining ourselves—pacing the work to protect energy, dignity, and health.

Connection
Whether we work together for a day or a month, I want you to feel seen and supported. That matters more to me than any checklist.
