Doesn't this sound interesting?  And obvious?!

Then why is it so hard for us to consider the impact of our surroundings on our emotional, physical and mental health and to to make this healing process a priority?

I know many, many folks who keep the front rooms of their homes 'company ready' while using their bedroom or home office as a catch all for clutter, mess, things no one knows where to put. This can create irritability, sadness, frustration, anxiety, feelings of shame and blame - and the list goes on. But when the option of removing these things, the option of ‘Clearing Space’ is brought up we can feel instantly overwhelmed, panicky, paralyzed…

What are these things - these objects and the emotional heaviness that comes with them - doing to your well-being?

Or maybe it is the office you have that is keeping you 'stuck'. Do you have comfortable chairs for your clients but a sub par one for your self? Are you ergonomically set up for a comfortable and productive day? Did you choose the colors or are you just keeping the scratched up sickly green wallpaper because no one notices these things, right?

Is there anything about the space that says it is yours? What message are we sending to others and to ourselves everyday all day?

 Why aren't we taking better care of ourselves? 

Let's work together and change this story...

We first meet in my office and discuss your needs and frustrations. Through a series of questions we can begin to map out how you want to *be* in your home or office. I have several resources to help you match images of rooms, homes, offices, gardens, etc. to your feelings. I'll probably give you a little homework too ...

Then we meet in your space and reclaim it as yours.

This can include repositioning of objects and furniture, altering color choices, ridding the area of clutter and negative weight, and shining light ( figuratively and perhaps literally ) on things that bring forth the emotions you want .

This can include what to do with extremely sentimental pieces, or even whole rooms that hold meaning you no longer want them to hold but to somehow do that with intention and the respect it deserves.

This could also be a re-purposing of a room or creating an area of true privacy, or a sacred space to honor special memories.

Do you want to evoke calm or maybe energy and productivity? Do you want a space to feel nurturing, secure and a place to be your authentic self?  Do you want minimalism, or loving layers or perhaps both? Do you want to increase functionality or freedom of movement? 

I've had so many clients say, 'I have always wanted a ....' and ‘I just want to feel … when I walk into this room ‘-  well lets create that feeling you want.

This is a fluid process and can change as your needs change but the first most important steps are deciding you want to have parts of your home, outdoor areas or office to reflect your intentional self.
