People often overlook the importance of their physical surroundings, often overlooked as mere decoration, they may not notice how objects and sometimes even the spaces themselves harbour deep seated memories that cast a shadow over their daily routine. And in some more tragic cases, completey shut them down after a loved one has tragically passed away, leaving them to deal not only with the effects, but the memories burried within the shared objects. Through coaching, not only will your space transform, so will you. A wonderful gift to yourself is being able to imbue your surroundings with visual reminders of your goals, where you want to be and how you want to consider yourself. The changes are truly extraordinary. As one client told me, "You have completely changed my life.....I can't even remember what it used to look like. I feel like this is how it was supposed to have been the whole time."
When I met with Karen, she was in the process of putting her house on the market. She had actually not been living in the house for years, yet when you walked through the rooms besides the stale air, it didn't really look uninhabited. Cozy furiture beckoned you to sit and stay awhile, the kitchen table displayed a beautiful vase waiting to brighten up the room with fresh flowers. It wasn't until you walked into the children's rooms that I fully comprehended how much emotion Karen had been keeping locked up in that house.
