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,

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

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

UNDER THE LIGHT

Revelations come when we begin to heal, when we make a commitment to come Under the Light.

MY FAVORITE DAYS
MY FAVORITE DAYS

If there is one image that is emblematic of who I want to be, it’s the woman with the bald head under that cap—not only a picture of resilience but more of a willingness to be transformed.

THE ABSENCE OF GHOSTS
THE ABSENCE OF GHOSTS

I wandered the rooms and corridors in search of soul and discovered it in me.

THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE CRITIC
THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE CRITIC

Criticism is the beauty killer.
