Transforming the spaces that surround us and the ones within.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

My mastery over the past twenty two years is the condition of the heart and how it informs our spaces. My clients would say my passion has always been not only designing beautiful spaces…but breathtaking lives.

Most recently, my cancer journey has made me curious about the health of every cell. I am not defined by my cancer but I can’t ignore how it has contributed in profound ways to the creation of a life I never expected. An expansive, lean in, transformative one.

Life. How we live it. That’s what Sanctuary Living is passionate about to the core.

In every home there dwells this marvelous potential to become a Sanctuary - not merely in renovating spaces, but through the transformation that begins in us.

Let’s work together to create the life you long for, body/mind/SOUL.

Much Love,

BURNING DAYLIGHT

I find my sweetest peace among the boxwood and lupin, surrounded by the colors of His creation, embedding bits of my own vision into soil.

LAST WORDS

We fixate on the first words—Mama. Baba. Dada. Bye.—but isn’t it more fascinating to imagine our last?

THE COUNSEL OF NIGHT [La Nuit Port Conseil]
THE COUNSEL OF NIGHT [La Nuit Port Conseil]

The night bears advice, when all the fussing and carrying on of the day is at rest. It is the time the soul whispers its deepest knowings, and the Creator of all things speaks what is best.

UNNECESSARY DRAMA
UNNECESSARY DRAMA

Maybe an impossible question…but in the hard moment, whatever it is, how will you react?

BEHIND THE WORDS
BEHIND THE WORDS

I love the feeling of entering a room bathed in light, the welcome of it feels as if someone has already been there or is waiting. He always is.

THE WORK IS NEVER DONE
THE WORK IS NEVER DONE

Between the life you lead and the one that you pray for is the work that defines you.

THE BACK SIDE OF MATCHA
THE BACK SIDE OF MATCHA

Those who master the world are deft at changing their point of view.

INORDINARY DAYS
INORDINARY DAYS

Such calm, juxtaposed to the chaos of the world. This is where my heart is drawn…to the orange in us all.

MAGNIFIED
MAGNIFIED

When we magnify our problems by starring at them too intently for too long, we miss the broader view.
