Spaces we live in should be beautiful, healing and restorative. Walking into a space can immediately shift your energy. Some spaces should be peaceful and relaxing while others should be stimulating. Let us help you create a healthy space you can feel great about! Our work is an educational process empowering you to live happier and healthier.

Designs should be functional and express your personality. We can spend as little as two hours to get you started, or spend all the time you need to complete your project.

• Redecorating individual spaces like your living room, office, bedroom or even your whole house. (We helped a woman for her 80th birthday go through her home and redecorate each room. We were able to fill up the trunk of her car 3 times with old papers, magazines, plastic containers, glass jars, etc. that we took to the recycling bin. She had a beautiful botanical calendar saved from a previous year. We got frames for the pictures and hung them throughout her house. It looked great and she loved it!)
• Organizing projects such as your closet, kitchen, or bill paying area. (We turned an unused guest room into three separate areas: a home office, an art studio and a dressing room with a laundry and ironing station).
• Staging you home to sell for the best price. (We helped a client stage her home to sell. We redid the entrance porch and main living area, then walked through the rest of the house, and made suggestions for her and her husband to continue the staging work on their own.)
• Helping you move into a new home. (We helped a friend with unpacking, furniture layout and lighting. Then we put up all the art and accessories so she felt settled in just a few days.)
• Creating outdoor living spaces.
• Setting aside studio space for you to be artistic: writing, painting, music, sewing areas, etc.
• Inspiring you to make sacred spaces for meditation, ancestor shrines or altars both inside and outside.
• Designing special spaces for whatever your needs might be, such as a home gym, yoga space, home office, dressing area, recreation and entertainment areas, etc.
• We can help you buy and sell on eBay. Get unique items for your home at great prices and sell the valuables you no longer want.

Staging your home helps you to get the best price in shortest time. In today's market it's crucial to have the best possible photos of your home-indoor and out-for listings in real estate websites. Staging is about de-cluttering, de-personalizing and updating your space to create the look of a model home. This helps buyers envision themselves in a home that is move-in ready.

If you need nutritional advice we can help you organize your kitchen and teach you about what you eat. Learn how to read nutritional labels, how to shop for healthy foods and how to cook healthier, making tasty recipes and colorful artistic food presentations. (We have helped a client to go through Whole Foods and learn about veggies, plant proteins, complex carbohydrates and other healthy food items that were new for her. Conan typed up all the notes and added recipes in an email to her afterwards.)

Makeover your wardrobe and organize your closet. Closets are often full of outdated, ill fitting and unworn clothing that takes up precious space. Learn what to wear that makes you feel and look your best through colors, proper fit and matching accessories. Create a dressing area to improve your self image and confidence.

Organize your office or home-based business. We'll show you easy ways to keep records for taxes, pay your bills, create filing systems and organize your supplies and products. Learn how to market yourself with attractive business cards, brochures and advertising that showcase all your skills and talents. (We helped a client redo a home office space. We placed the desk in the wealth area of the home according to Feng Shui principles. He now has an office that is functional and beautiful, as well as energetically suited to create prosperity.)

Like to entertain? Create kitchen, dining and living spaces centered on creating community. Impress your guests with food that is both healthy and fun to eat. Set the stage for every occasion from small, intimate dinner parties to large indoor or outdoor gatherings.

Like to garden? Create beautiful planters and flower beds, herb gardens, water fountains, fire places, hammocks, meditation spaces and dining areas. Spend more time in nature! Even if you only have a deck, porch or small outdoor space you can create your own oasis.

Bedrooms need to be uncluttered, peaceful, and sensual. Make yours a sacred space for deep sleep and good love. Include a reading nook or a personal retreat to restore your energy.

Your bathroom can be your own personal spa. Learn about hydrotherapy, essential oils, shower & bath filters and natural body care products.

We know how important it is for an artist to have a studio space that's uncluttered and functional-- where you can go into the space and start creating whenever an idea strikes- A space where you feel inspired and have all your tools organized.

We are open to whatever ideas you have to create the space, function, and design you desire- Let us help you manifest the space you deserve!

Bring more life energy or qi into your space. Using color, lighting, plants and natural objects-like stones or running water-can change the way energy flows in your home or office.

Your space has a direct impact on your health. If you don't have enough natural sunlight, full-spectrum lights can help you, your pets, and your plants feel better and even allow plants to grow in low light areas. Are you sleeping with your alarm clock on a nightstand only a few feet away from your head or is your refrigerator or computer on the other side of the wall from where you sleep? Simple changes can greatly decrease your exposure to electromagnetic radiation fields.

You can make big changes in you space redecorating with items you already own.
