HOLISTIC SPACES PODCAST, EPISODE 045

STARTING IN A NEW HOME - A MINI CONSULTATION

On our last podcast, we did a mini consultation with my team member, Shanna, who is moving and looking to find stability in her space. We'll catch up with Shanna in this episode and discuss maintaining a stable home, adjusting for some feng shui issues in her new space and more.  

  • Wishes for a new space

  • Minimizing adjustments

  • Doing the mundane things

  • Activating the New Beginnings area

  • Feng shui and spiral stairs

  • Double doors in a bedroom

  • Feng shui adjustments for a stove out of command

Hopefully these suggestions will help Shanna to create a nourishing environment in her new space.
