SPACES

I believe spaces are similar to bodies — that attention turned toward them can facilitate a balance that ripples out into all areas of life — and I approach spaces in the same way that I do people: by asking how to pull forward ease, connection, and renewal from what is already there.

Spaces work is a collaborative effort, uniquely attuned to each situation and client, and form and frequency varies by project. We might meet for an afternoon to renew a single room, or approach an entire home over the course of several months. Meditative visualization, attention to the senses & nervous system, and intuitive conversation help guide our work together as we determine the purpose and desired qualities of a space. This often leads to physical decluttering and cleaning, as well as changes, subtractions, and additions to help support the room’s functionality and the body’s experience of the space.

In addition to fortifying and enhancing daily experience, spaces work can provide important support for life changes and challenges, and sessions often move beyond the functional work of space-making, taking on their own restorative or healing qualities and even moving into non-physical realms, if this is of benefit to the client. Some examples include a completion ceremony with a home being sold, a clearing ritual before moving into a new space, or after a break-up or divorce, and transition work for spaces associated with death and grieving processes.
