Natural light is medicine

May 1, 2020

Do you find your mood drops in winter? What about in dark rooms? I feel instantly lower in energy in dark spaces. And I’m a miserable sod in winter. If you’re finding your mood drops as we approach cooler weather and darker days, check in with your space and see if you can find patches of sunlight you can bask in; natural light is medicine for the soul x

I know I’m late to the party, but welcome 2021:)

I know I’m late to the party, but welcome 2021:) We’ve had some much needed recharge time with the kids, and feeling good to be back in our home based studio (read: kitchen bench).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know it’s been a challenging year for lots of reasons, but know I’m sending you all good vibes for a positive year ahead as we continue to roll with whatever gets thrown our way:)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Despite the craziness of the year - I actually loved it. We rarely get given the opportunity to slow down, as challenging as it was. I’m loving watching people wanting their homes to be their bubble of warmth, and diving into the energetics of their spaces, or questioning why they feel off in particular rooms. The year allowed me to jump back into some more studies, based around building biology and quantum physics, so I could better design to correct these imbalances in the projects we had coming through.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m looking forward to offering more site specific Geomancy and Feng Shui this year too, both to our residential clients and our architects at the feasibility stage. It’s something I’ve done intuitively for the last 16 years in this field, but have been reluctant to share - really just based on fear of criticism - energy work tends to evoke that ‘don’t talk about/woo woo’ sentiment from the vast majority. If anything, this past year reminded me to quit stuffing around and get on with it. Only took a pandemic. And funnily enough, most of our clients are deeply aware of the subtler layers I rabbit on about anyway! Sometimes we just need to get out of our own way don’t we:)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, for the moment, our books are gratefully closed, so we’ll start this year right where we left off; finishing projects we’ve started and catching up on the waiting list:)

Here’s to 2021 x Mel

Recently I was conducting a space clearing for a client who reported feelings of “stuckness” and lack of flow in some rooms of her home. In one room in particular I found myself quite stuck in a corner; like I couldn’t move out of the spot I was in. I made note to clear this space and several other areas of discontent and moved on. Later, discussing this with her partner who had arrived home, he told me there’s a water leak, and the water is pooling directly under the house in the spot where I was “stuck”. Interesting how the energy of this trapped water was affecting that general feeling of flow and could be sensed by the occupants. She tells me he fixed the pipes that afternoon 😉
