Mental Health: How to Heal Your Connection to Your Environment.

Often people don’t realize that their connection to their environment effects their mental health, and that their mental constructs equally effect their environment!

By being aware of your own inner landscape you can engage powerfully with the creation of your own environment, no matter your circumstances!

If you are feeling overwhelmed, and not quite at home in your space, I want you to take these tips and thought exercises to effect change in your own environments. The solution lies within you.

I know first hand how challenging a space can feel. We all don’t realize how much our preconceived notions are affecting our spaces (or the rest of our life). I’m here to show you that really have the power and I’m excited to reveal some common thought traps and solutions for you below!

The Beginner’s Guide to: Holistic Interior Design

The Beginner’s Guide to: Holistic Interior Design

Today I’m going to show you why you should look at your design project from a holistic perspective.

I remember when I first started to learn about design. Everything seemed so overwhelming and there was so much to learn, the last thing I thought to think about was how everything made me feel. I started thinking that there was a “right” or “correct” way to do things. But since the time of my first real design client, I knew that something way deeper was at play here. I’ve committed my career to introducing this to my clients! The goal here is getting to a place of expressing yourself from balanced alignment with your deeper self.

I want you and all of my clients to know that there is no such thing as perfection, the perfect room, or the perfect room ideas.
