Sanctuary Stewardship

MY PHILOSOPHY

The Energetics of Environment

Our surroundings are alive with vibration, shaping our inner and outer worlds.

  • Every object holds a vibration—whether it’s decor or a pile of papers.
  • Every vibration around us affects our field. We are shaped by what we perceive.
  • Subtle shifts like decluttering quickly recalibrate our home’s frequency.
  • An act as simple as painting a single wall in a room can shift the emotional tone and invite a new story to unfold.
  • The atmosphere of lingering emotions is felt by everyone who shares the space. Emotional composting is essential.

Sensory Healing & Sacred Design

Our senses are gateways to wellness; our homes can be temples of restoration.

  • Our sensory experience influences our health.
  • We create sanctuary with sight, scent, sound and texture.
  • A sacred kitchen is one of our greatest healers.
  • Houseplants, full-spectrum lighting, and clean water are musts in every home.
  • Our home whispers to our nervous system (and it responds).
  • The home should be and can be one of the most guaranteed places in the world for us to relax and be ourselves.

Conscious Parenting & Relational Stewardship

The home is a crucible for growth—for children, parents, and all who dwell within.

  • A lot of parents are not yet comfortable with owning their power to shape their children into happy, healthy, self-sufficient young adults.
  • Cultivating openness, honesty, and vulnerability can be an essential driving force toward overcoming challenges in the home.
  • Emotional patterns ripple through shared spaces. We can call this “relational geometry.”
  • Healing home is a practice for the entire family.
  • Dr. Gary Chapman’s five Love Languages are worth daily practice: quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service, physical touch, and giving/receiving gifts.

Empowerment Through Home

Our homes are mirrors, medicine, and maps. When we tend them, we tend ourselves.

  • Self-respect can be as simple as keeping a clean bedroom and dressing for the day.
  • More and more people are realizing their ability to improve their entire life by making adjustments within their home.
  • 90+% of dis-ease is within our control.
  • We shape our environment, and our environment shapes us.
  • Habit-stacking at home gives us time to direct toward our goals and our values.
  • Owning our immense power–“What would LOVE do?”–is the game-changer that we all need.

MY STORY

I have three children (two grown, one yet at home). When my youngest manifested nonverbal autism and epilepsy, I had to look at my habits and question the effect of the physical (home) environment on his condition. Was this my own fault? All such moms probably wonder this. Could I do anything about it?

What changed everything for me was when I began studying Dr. Bruce Lipton and his spiel on the importance of those first seven years of a child’s life and how children are programmed by their physical environment (home, parents, etc.). In fact, Dr. Bruce and I had the same response to learning this: we both cried and apologized to our children! This, coupled with teachings of Drs. Joe Dispenza, Barbara Brennan, and Elizabeth Blackburn, convinced me that within me is the power to heal my own perception, one wise and loving step at a time, and to honor the truth that my son isn’t “broken.” He is beautifully unique, uniquely beautiful, as all of my children are, and as all children are. They need to know that they are loved exactly as they are.

My life became about Healing Home. Air filters, water filters, dehumidifiers, less toxicity in our kitchen cabinets, more garden-fresh foods, more Awakened Action, more conscious parenting. I further deepened my studies of the human-home dynamic through University of Metaphysical Sciences, learning the psychoemotional effects of the physical home environment on its inhabitants, and how our inner state affects our health (stress response vs. relaxation response). UMS also helped me, perhaps most of all, to temper the inner critic and feel true compassion for myself and others. I have also studied professional (residential) organizing and worked as an interior decorator for a home center. All of this ties together beautifully now.

What sets me apart in this burgeoning field is my rich, well-rounded understanding through both personal experience and study. I also bring my son as my work partner so he can experience a sense of purpose as an adult. This unique philosophy and praxis I offer to my clients, as well as a safe space to be vulnerable. You have to be ready for a life change that begins at home, and you have to make it happen! Reach out to me when you are, and I’ll be ready right beside you.
