Consultation & Project Timeline

A Therapeutic, Evidence‑Informed Path from First Conversation to Finished Space

  1. Initial Needs Assessment & Symptom Review
    We begin with a gentle, structured conversation to understand your emotional experience within your environment.
    Explore anxiety, overwhelm, sensory triggers, sleep challenges, and daily stressors
    Identify how lighting, clutter, noise, or layout may be contributing
    Collect details about routines, energy levels, and pain points
    This stage ensures your design plan is anchored in your emotional patterns, your sensory needs, and your lived experience.

  2. Goal Setting: Emotional + Functional + Aesthetic
    Together, we define the outcomes that matter most:
    How do you want to feel in this space?
    What emotional shifts are you seeking—calm, clarity, grounding, focus?
    What daily tasks or routines need support?
    What’s working? What feels draining or overwhelming?
    We also look at any therapeutic, behavioral, or lifestyle goals that the environment needs to reinforce.

  3. Scope of Work & Priority Mapping
    We outline the full project or break it into phases:
    Rooms or zones to be addressed
    Depth of redesign (refresh vs. full transformation)
    Sensory‑supportive elements required
    Storage or decluttering needs
    Any functional concerns (privacy, workflow, family needs, accessibility)
    A structured scope ensures clarity, alignment, and predictability—just like a therapeutic treatment plan.
  1. Personalized Therapeutic Design Plan
    This is the heart of the process.
    Your plan may include:
    Lighting layers to reduce stress and support circadian rhythm
    Acoustic modifications to minimize overwhelm
    Color palette and materials that support emotional regulation
    Natural and biophilic elements to promote calm
    Spatial flow changes for safety, clarity, and ease
    Sensory adjustments (textures, visual load, scent, temperature zones)
    Organization systems to reduce cognitive overload
    Each recommendation is grounded in principles from environmental psychology, neuropsychological design, and healing‑space research.

  2. Collaboration & Refinements
    We review the plan together and make thoughtful adjustments.
    This step includes:
    Reviewing design boards and spatial recommendations
    Discussing sensory preferences and emotional needs
    Exploring alternatives if something doesn’t feel aligned
    Ensuring the design “fits” your lifestyle and therapeutic goals
    Your voice remains central — it’s a shared process.

  3. Budget Development & Material Sourcing
    Your investment is customized to your comfort level.
    Full breakdown of estimated costs
    High‑priority vs. low‑priority items
    Optional alternatives (good / better / best)
    Source lists for furnishings, lighting, décor, organization, acoustic materials
    Contractor or vendor recommendations (if applicable)
    You stay completely in control of spending decisions.

  4. Project Management & Timeline Planning
    Once the plan is approved, we outline the full execution schedule:
    Ordering materials
    Scheduling contractors or installers
    Delivery windows and staging logistics
    Declutter and prep days
    Installation days
    Styling and final adjustments
    Quiet periods for emotional transition and sensory acclimation
    This structured timeline helps reduce overwhelm and increase predictability — vital for emotional safety and regulation.

  5. Implementation & Oversight
    You can choose hands‑on support or guided self‑implementation.
    This phase may include:
    On‑site or virtual project supervision
    Ensuring sensory‑supportive details (glare, echo, visual complexity) are correct
    Installing organizational systems
    Styling with therapeutic intention
    Coordinating contractors or vendors
    Weekly progress check‑ins
    The goal: create a space that feels good from the moment you step into it.

  6. Final Walkthrough & Emotional Fit Check
    We review the completed space together:
    Does your body feel calmer here?
    Is the lighting supportive?
    Are sensory inputs balanced?
    Does the flow make sense for your daily life?
    Are there any adjustments needed?
    Environment changes can shift emotions — this step ensures everything aligns with your wellness goals.

  7. Follow‑Up & Adjustments (30‑Day + 90‑Day)
    As you settle into your new environment, we revisit:
    Mood changes
    Sleep or focus improvements
    New stress points
    Organization maintenance
    Additional tweaks for sensory comfort or functionality
    Your space evolves as you do.
