BEST Northshore's THE
The Best of the Best
NINETEEN YEARS AGO, the Northshore was a very different place than it is today. The area had yet to be impacted by the population boom in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Highway 190 was a two-lane road through the heart of Mandeville, Madisonville was still considered “the country” and anyone who would’ve suggested an exit on Fremaux Avenue would have been laughed out of town. In order to meet the population explosion over the last two decades, subdivisions have been built, schools have opened and virtually every type of business has been introduced into the area. There is perhaps no better gauge of the growth in the business community than our Northshore’s Best awards.
As part of Sophisticated Woman Magazine’s 20th anniversary back in 2005, theneditor Francie Unger and publisher Joanne Gallinghouse created The Northshore’s Best to recognize and honor local businesses. As the only Northshore readers’ choice program, what started with 93 categories has since expanded into 400+ categories encompassing West St. Tammany, East St. Tammany and Tangipahoa. Throughout the years, our goal has been to give our readers a voice to identify those businesses that excel in delivering products and services to our community.
There have been many long-time businesses that continue to impress our readers with their commitment to excellence. In fact, St. Tammany Hospital, Acquistapace’s, Coffee Rani and Gallagher`s have been perennial winners in their respective specialties. Other categories have fierce rivalries with two or three businesses taking turns. Some companies even employ competitive “Vote for Us” campaigns to win the coveted The Northshore’s Best title. Almost everywhere you go throughout the area – from doctors’ offices to car washes – if a business has been awarded the title in the past, you are going to know about it. They proudly display the logo that is their badge of recognition on stickers, banners, certificates, signage and in advertising materials.
With an open voting process, anyone can vote for any local business in just a few categories or all of them. The process is 100 percent objective. Advertising in Sophisticated Woman is not a pre-requisite to winning. This year, thousands of votes were cast – a testament to our loyal readers and their passion for the Northshore people and businesses they love. Congratulations to our 2022 winners and thanks to all of you who have helped make The Northshore’s Best successful for the last 19 years.

Felicia Schimpf: NEAT Method
COULDN’T WE ALL use a little more NEATness in our lives? A neatnik herself, Felicia Schimpf has made a career out of helping others gain calmness and efficiency in their homes by organizing their living spaces through her company, NEAT Method. Felicia was the first to bring the home organizing franchise to Louisiana after using the company herself. “My husband Ryan and I relocated dozens of times during his professional baseball career. When we were in San Diego, NEAT Method was recommended to me for help with yet another move. I loved the concept and the results.”
Felicia and Ryan met in high school while they attended St. Scholastica Academy and St. Paul’s respectively. They graduated from LSU, got married and during his 10-year professional baseball tenure relocated regularly. Now, with three children, Kenley, Reed and Beau, the Schimpfs are back home for good.
Felicia is now carrying on the entrepreneurial spirit her grandfathers passed down to her. “Each of them is an inspiration to me. At just 14, my dad’s father immigrated from Mexico with his widowed mother and eight siblings. He soon met my grandmother. 13 years later, with a family of six and just $800, he started a tile and stone company that would prosper for over 50 years. I spent my childhood summers with them at their Texas ranch where I learned it takes hard work to build a business.”
Her Northshore roots came from her mother's side of the family, all who attended St. Scholastica Academy and St. Paul's. Her maternal grandfather contributed to the parish’s growth. “He was a developer and invested in this area’s future by building homes in Covington County Club, developing commercial real estate and running a farm in Folsom. I was always searching for my best career path in life, but knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur like my grandfathers. It’s in my blood. My mom instilled in me a love of organization and order. So when I found NEAT Method and saw how it worked to help people, it was a perfect fit for me.”
From her father, Felicia inherited athleticism, playing soccer and running track during high school and now enjoying a variety of workout activities. She is also a self-described people pleaser. That combination of traits helped her business grow quickly and earn her The Northshore’s Best title for 2021 and 2022 – an impressive feat for a company just established in 2019. “Our services are life-changing for clients because organizing their homes and lives is transformative for them. Even the kids get on board, and everyone enjoys the calm it brings to what was once chaos. I do unpacking, carry heavy loads, climb ladders and more. It can be physically exhausting, but it’s very fulfilling.”
cover story
The Northshore’s Best | April 2023
Many of her clients use NEAT Method’s relocation services. “We're in over 100 markets across the US and Canada, so clients can use us on both ends of their move. White glove service means clients don’t lift a finger. I have a team of nine including three project managers. We sit down and consult to understand our clients’ needs. For a move, we methodically pack for them and can coordinate moving services or arrange storage units. We handle a variety of logistics and work with qualified, insured vendors such as handymen and interior designers. When we organize spaces, we can do an enitre home or one room at a time. We sort items and work with donation centers so clients know their items are going to good use. We bring in bins, baskets, organizers, inserts and labels to create new systems.”
Felicia says organizing is like solving a puzzle. For example, while each kitchen is laid out differently, her method is to start with a few key points that allow everything else to fall into place. The team gains an understanding of how the family operates and lives in the home. Important considerations are discussed, like who in the household may be left-handed or if the kids will be allowed access to snacks. The space plan begins with logical placement of kitchenware and tools with meticulous attention given to each area of the room and how it is best organized for maximum efficiency.
A large factor of her success is the trust she shares with clients. “We take confidentiality very seriously, and proudly honor privacy. Our finished product speaks for itself. We have our own line of beautiful organizing products and act as behind-the-scenes interior designers. We match the aesthetic of the home and carry that style throughout the pantry, bathrooms, closets and more.”
In this community that means so much to her family, Felicia says it’s important to make her neighbors happy both through work and family life. “We love this community and are having a great time being involved with our kids at St. Peter, attending sports games at St. Paul’s and giving back at events like St. Scholastica Academy'’s career day and Miracle League Network fundraisers. I’m proud of winning The Northshore’s Best two years in a row and will continue to make our community better and our clients highly satisfied.”

Shana Roig Legacy Insurance, LLC
OWNER SHANA ROIG and her team at Legacy Insurance celebrate five years in business and Shana’s 4th year as The Northshore’s Best! Throughout her career, Shana remains determined to serve those around her. Since 2018, her team has grown in knowledge and scope, now licensed in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Montana!
Shana graduated in Business Management from John Brown University with one goal in mind - making women more prominent in the insurance industry. Working for Arkansas Farm Bureau, she quickly climbed the ladder. “I owe my success to mentors along the way. They taught me to turn my passion for people into a dream career. My ‘larger than life’ goals quickly became reality.” Shana was proudly named the first female manager at Arkansas Farm Bureau, paving the way for women after her.
Shana is hands-on, specializing in needs-based advising, where she curates customized insurance programs for personal and commercial needs. Programs include auto, life, home, and commercial policies. Legacy Insurance recently moved to downtown Covington and are excited about their fresh, new start!

E.J. Fielding: Designing Your Funeral
Families come to us because they know we’re dedicated to excellent service and have the highest integrity. We’re proud to assist you in designing your funeral.
Services To Honor A Life—A funeral or memorial service, whether traditional or contemporary, is the first step in healing. It’s about bringing loved ones together at a time of loss. Your choices include the place of celebration, day of the week and time, musical selections, prayers to be said and songs to be sung. We can also arrange tribute videos, personalized printing, memorial websites and live funeral webcasting.
Caring for Physical Remains—Usually, people are clear on their choice of burial or cremation. Most loved ones have told someone how they wish to be cared for. But it can be a hard decision for some families, especially when the wishes of the deceased were never clearly stated. Please know we’re here to help you with that decision. If you’ve chosen burial, the casket is chosen followed by the selection of vault or desired cemetery location. If cremation is your choice, the next decision will be whether the remains will be placed in a mausoleum niche or buried on cemetery grounds.
We look forward to using our generations of experience to help you create the most memorable and meaningful funeral to honor your loved one.
Since 1992, E.J. Fielding Funeral Home has been helping families in their greatest time of need. We are a family-owned and operated funeral home offering full-service funeral arrangements, cremation and burial services in Covington, LA. We proudly serve families of the bereaved and honor their loved ones. We service the Mandeville, Madisonville, Abita Springs, Folsom, Bush, Lacombe, Metairie, Kenner, and Jefferson areas. Call 985-892-9222 to speak to one of our staff who can assist you with all of your needs today, or visit ejfieldingfh.com.
