Hi, I’m Sierra

For as long as I can remember I have identified as an artist, stylist and creative spirit. I have always felt passionate about rearranging, styling and having a intimate relationship with my space. Often times my artistic expression comes through as an obsession with the details. You will see this in my dress but even more so in my home.

I’ve always loved being in spaces that had character, creative flair and were intentionally put together. I’d get so inspired by the unique beauty of different environments and eventually realized how deeply affected I am by my surroundings.

I used to love dreaming up design plans for how to rearrange my space when it was a mess and I needed inspiration to get to work. After I decided what I wanted to do, I’d move all my furniture, and simultaneously get motivated to clean. I always felt better after I styled and organized my space. Changing something I had control of was therapeutic and I would always experience profound shifts in my mood and outlook.

As I rearranged my materiel world I’d feel myself breaking through barriers, old stories and patterns, creating an environment that made sense. The energy that felt stuck and stagnant would change and my spirit would soar.

When my grandma died, I inherited a lot of her things. Well, I actually moved into her house. I was a new mom, and even though I was glad to make use of her things and create a magical sanctuary, it eventually overwhelmed me. I needed to downsize and felt like I was drowning in sentimental objects and creative projects that I just didn’t have the time for. I wanted to move on and create my space in the way I needed for the changes I was making in my life. I ended up learning a lot through that process.

Anytime we work on our space there are subtle energies involved—and I’m not talking about reiki or chakras. I’m talking about memories, stories, hopes, dreams, aspirations, and personalities. You could call it an aura or vibe if you wanted to, but it’s just a feeling. Even if an object isn’t particularly special or meaningful, it usually holds a correlation to a specific idea about yourself that you may or may not have consciously realized. Multiply that by everything in your house, and that’s a lot of subtle energy.

I noticed that when the time came to lighten my load I experienced a flood of emotions and resistances to letting go. I ended up holding onto things despite my sense that my mind, as well as my space, would be less cluttered and therefore easier to be in and maintain. I wanted to love my home, be able to focus on daily tasks and have it be more conducive to creativity. So I have learned to hold space for myself in this process and release with gratitude. It’s like what Marie Kondo teaches—if it doesn’t bring you joy, thank it, and send it on its way.

As time went on, I started helping other’s with their spaces. I’d come visit them and move their furniture around, making suggestions for everything from decor to the layout to what needs to go! My fresh perspective and attention to their space would inspire a transformation which was felt long after I left.

When it comes to your home my prayer for you is to become attuned, drop in, create beauty and love your space. Wherever you’re at in your process with home healing, I’m here to support you.
