Clients Who Changed Their Homes and It Changed Their Lives

Below are two brief case studies of beloved clients I have worked with via Sacred Home Design and how the process not only potently shifted their homes but also shifted their lives.
(P.S. I have their permission to share their stories and their names).

“If you build it, they will become.”

Home as a Catalyst for Latent Dreams: I worked with Claude and her beloved family in New Jersey when they needed some help in the midst of their house being renovated. They were worried that their renovation was not fully reflecting who they were as a family and their desires for their experience of their home. Through our Sacred Home Design process, we co-created a home over time that truly rose up to greet the them while also zeroing in on Claude’s dormant love of color and pattern.

This process eventually led to the inspiration to also renovate their underutilized detached garage/shed and transform it into a yoga studio for Claude. Through the Intuitive Life Coaching part of this process, there was a whisper of a desire that was unearthed around Claude wanting a space one day to create art.

Our Sacred Home Design process of her family’s home had kindled her love for and confidence in using color and pattern. But with her kids still at home, she found it difficult to be inspired and to focus on creating art in their house. Synchronicities abounded and within a tight budget, we created her yoga studio with an eye beyond yoga and toward kindling my client’s brewing artistic desire.

For a few years, the yoga studio provided much soul sustenance to Claude as she locally became quite in demand for yoga classes and private sessions. But over time, her passion for teaching yoga waned and, as we envisioned years before (and built into the “scaffolding” of the design), she was able to easily shift the yoga studio into becoming an art studio. For the last few years, Claude has been truly following her bliss as a painter and her work quickly attracted collectors and galleries.

To further claim her independence as an artist, I also assisted Claude remotely this past winter to shift the art studio temporarily into an art gallery so that she could show her new work to current and potential collectors.

Home As A Love Story: Serendipitously, after being inspired by the novel “Trance of Insignificance”, Karen contacted the author who, in turn, referred Karen to work with me.

Initially we worked together via Intuitive Counseling sessions, but through these sessions we began focusing more on her challenging divorce and how she was feeling both stalled in her romantic life and that her new home wasn’t reflecting the life she was longing to create for herself. So we shifted our work together toward the Sacred Home Design of her one-bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side of New York City.

Through a deep dive into the redesign process, with a particular focus on her bedroom, we embarked on a journey that integrated interior design shifts, my spiritual inventory process, clearing out the “emotional cobwebs” within her space (akin to, but different from Kondo-ing) and Intuitive Life Coaching. This Sacred Home Design process helped her to let go, make peace, take responsibility, focus on new dreams and experience hope rising.

Shortly after this reimagining of her home, Karen met the man who she is now married to and credits our work together as being a key component of the practical magic that profoundly changed her life (and her home).

Recently, Karen contacted me about re-engaging in working together via Intuitive Counseling Sessions. The impetus for this continued work, is that Karen is experiencing some different challenges and I am now assisting her to come home to herself in service of her thriving.
