Elevate your domestic sanctuary, with an intuitive guide who can help you prioritize, envision and activate your next & best home makeover project!
From decluttering to full remodel, before you break ground, learn what you’re getting yourself into.
There’s a gap in the marketplace:
If you don’t know what you don’t know, it can be incredibly difficult to navigate a home remodel rodeo. This is Homeowner’s Advocacy at the 40,000 & -40,000 ft. view! From the skeletons in the closet -to- the countertops in your kitchen, The House Therapist is guiding the process, at just the right pace for the situation.
The House Therapist isn’t attached to a particular method or product or budget; there are many roads to a preferable outcome. It is quite helpful when the homeowner has some agency in the makeover/remodel. It’s hard to make good decisions when they aren’t well-informed or deeply thought out, or pressured by finances, contractors, and timelines. Just as someone might bring in a doula to help with childbirth, The House Therapist is a advocating support, guide, and administrator throughout or in select parts of the entire process - from ideation & visioning, to making a plan, getting it lined out, making it happen, and optimizing & beautifying the renewed space.
Home Renovations Don’t Have To Be Traumatic.
Some smart exploration, in advance of a potential project, makes all the difference for achieving a satisfying project outcome. Especially when resources are limited, it pays to be thoughtful about how best to use them. Much more than your basic contractor/designer consultation, the Fairygodmother Report helps you understand the scope of your desired project, prioritize the various elements, see different levels of solutions, and to get a sense of how feasible/responsible it all might be (and how long a runway you need to prepare). Whether a facelift or a full remodel, give yourself the gift of empowered decision-making, whether or not you contract with us to make the project happen, or you decide not to do it. Before you break ground, know what you’re getting yourself into.
When you’re ready for a more involved home make-over project…
Visit our sister-site for The Metamorphosis Group, for more information on the projects we’ve stewarded, how we work, and getting into the calendar. Like everyone, we have capacity constraints, and can only schedule a limited number of large projects in a calendar year. Quality over quantity! Our clients tend to repeat, as we move through the house over the years, so thinking ahead is important. For full-gut bathroom or kitchen projects, it sometimes may take the better part of a year to pull all the pieces together. Early sessions with The House Therapist prepare the way for a well-thought-out project, making the most of precious resources, in an expeditious way.
In Support of the Sacred Domestic
The Sacred Domestic has been alive in Mya since she was a small child. She’s been in people’s homes and closets for a long time, and has developed her own version of “home-medicine” after transforming countless spaces for 40 years. The home is central to her personal regeneration, the way she orients against the rigors and pulls of the marketplace, and the realm she has focused most of her personal & professional life on. She works below the surface layers of conceiving a project and getting it done. The alchemy of a home makeover is profound medicine, for those who resonate with the Sacred Domestic.
The rubber really meets the road when design visions must be implemented in the actual space, so the Sacred Domestic is firstly: Fully- Functional. Beauty then comes from the process of discovering what you really want/need, what gives you kinesthetic delight every time you step in to make coffee. Mya writes down her musings sometimes, based on that rubber, meeting the road.
