The Short Story

​

 

I was born as a sensitive light of positivity, curiosity, peace, and truth.  From a young age, I had the ability to sense where something wasn't light, positive, or authentic.  Upon entering a room, space, gathering, or other place, either indoor or out, I could feel the thoughts and feelings of the people there, as well as the energy of the space itself.  Though I didn't know what it was yet, I could also feel the facades that covered the true thoughts and feelings.  This immediate sensory read on the vibe of the entire space was overwhelmingly uncomfortable.

 

Simultaneously, I was forced to navigate a messy home environment and the emotional energy of my mother who I lived with full time (no siblings or father).  As a result of her traumatic childhood, lack, and hardships throughout life, she had become a hoarder.  (If you experienced this, or need help navigating it, set up a call with me). 

 

This had a huge effect on me. Surrounded by all the chaotic physical and emotional disarray, I spent decades feeling separate from personal harmony. I had disconnected parts of myself to deal with my mother's dysregulated nervous system and home disharmony, which I couldn't control. One of the things I needed most in life was to have a home I loved and felt happy to be in, where I could invite my friends. Instead, it was a place of secrecy and private shame. 

 

When I went out on my own, I automatically found myself keeping things neat, simple, organized, clean, and cheerful. Things had to make sense... because chaos and depression was not something I ever wanted to experience again.  I found myself drawn to Clearing Places, Rearranging the Faces of things, and Organizing Spaces wherever I went, to match my lightness of spirit. I did this with closets, walls, desks, rooms, corners, shelves, pantries, medicine cabinets, kitchen counters, hallway cupboards, entryways, tables, and floors. 

​

Eventually, I saw how the limitations I had grown up with impaired my freedom, growth, self-expression, relationships, emotional balance, and ability to thrive. In the process of self-discovery and liberation, I became highly conscious of the effects of Atmospheric Harmony, Light, Clarity, and Simplicity....and whether a space or place had it, or not.  As I continued my journey, I finally began to see myself in the reflection of the places I lived and the Oases I curated within them. This nurtured me and mirrored my true self, which was what I had been needing those first 18 years of my life.

 

I found myself learning to work with my sensitivities to the energies of people and spaces. I fine-tuned my awareness of atmospheres, using my intuition and my senses in a multitude of ways, working with energy, and adding a variety of elements to the spaces.  Simultaneously, as I was harmonizing my outer places, I was also clearing and sorting through the inner spaces of me that no longer belonged and weighed me down. ​​

​

​I discovered that the less I had, the more space I had, and the more freedom I had to choose what to let go of and what I wanted to bring in. Too much of anything blocked my flow, my prosperity, and my inner harmony.  I became a master at creating something out of nothing—an expert at Simplifying Life. And this reflected itself in my cooking, book editing, financing, gift giving, event planning, and adventure planning. This is the creative light that now flows through me daily.

​

When a friend and his wife saw the transformation I had made to their Airbnb space, their jaws dropped and their eyes opened wide. Stunned, they stood in the center of the room and stared, "Oh my God Jan! I can't believe it!  How did you do this? We've never seen anyone transform this room. Wow!  We love it!"  They proceeded to walk around the space looking at every little thing I had added, functionalized, moved, cross-purposed... opening, touching, smiling. I could see how delighted they were and how they felt in the uplifted spirit I had brought to the space. I responded, "If I could do this everyday, I'd be in Heaven!" They both said, "Well, why don't you?!"

 

Shortly after that, I completed the biggest, most profound inner healing work of my life. The effect of that brought me into a coherence of mind, body, spirit that words can't describe.

I will simply call it My Life's Sacred Work. Each day, I received exponential revelations, inspired ideas, affirmations, and synchronicities that made it undeniably clear.... It was time to bring this new service to life.

So, if you should one day catch a glimpse of me standing still in the middle of a room or a space, perhaps holding an object in my hand—or not—you'll know what I'm doing. I'm connecting with the energy of the room, feeling what it wants to be, tuning into the vibe. Listening.  Feeling. Squinting my third eye. I place. I move. I stand back... This is my sacred sculpting process, discerning how much harmony I can create, so that you can see yourself in your true light.
