Lighten the Load & Light Up the Future
Five coaches in the areas of Feng Shui, Decluttering, Organization, Green Living and Energy Clearing have volunteered their time and expertise to work with us on our project. As a group they worked together to create a vision for our Clear Up the Clutter groups and helped with the materials that form the Group Guide.
Each coach brings her special slant and insight to the process, forming a formidable panel to guide us in our Lighten the Load journey. Clutter beware!

Energy Worker and Feng Shui Practitioner
Fundamental Feng Shui
I help to bring balance, prosperity and well being to people's lives. My work can identify and release underlying reasons for obstacles that are blocking your experience of success. I help solve these problems so you can thrive.
People seek my help for a variety of reasons, involving all aspects of their lives. Perhaps you desire to experience more ease and flow in your life. Perhaps you are experiencing financial stress, fatigue, or a chronic health condition. Perhaps you are in the middle of an important life transition, or you are wanting to attract new clients, move your office, or receive help with organization and clutter?
My approach is holistic, working with the systems of energy that support your life:
- energies in buildings - your home and workplace
- energies in the earth - known as "geopathic stress"
- energies within your body - your personal energy system
In order for your life to be properly supported, all three systems need to be in balance. If there is blockage in one of the systems, all will be affected. The results will often show up as an area of difficulty or challenge in your life, perhaps in your physical health, your prosperity, career or relationships.
My consultations are transformative and can bring real change to your life.
Does the place where you live feel like a home?
Have you wanted to add color but have no idea where to begin?
Does your home feel cluttered with stuff you love but don’t know how to use?
Are you looking for a change? You know, you don’t need to purchase a new sofa to make a space feel different.
Invite me over and we’ll go “shopping” in your home, using the furniture & accessories you already have to give your home a new life. And if a new sofa is what you actually what you want, I can help you wade through the many options.
I love working with people who feel like they want some changes but have no idea where to start.
Whether it’s a complete make-over or simply tweaking a few things I can make a difference.
Interior redesign, paint color consultation, home staging, move-in services, personal shopping and home/office organizing, whatever it is I am flexible in the way I work with clients.
You can choose how much you’d like to do base on your budget and time.
Let’s work together to make your space one you love to be in!!!
What Sara does best:
Work on a tight budget!!

Interior Redesign & Feng Shui for your Home
SpaceTransform
Does Your Home Need Help?
SpaceTransform offers services to make your home (or business) more comfortable, functional, and lovely -- no more feeling frustrated, downtrodden, or just plain bored with the way things are now.
I approach your space with my creativity and experience, and with a blend of Interior Design, Interior Redesign, and Feng Shui. I offer ideas, solutions, and hands-on transforming of spaces to help create a home you'll love.
What Gwen does best:
Interior Redesign
Redesign helps you get the look and feel you want by improving the arrangement of your existing belongings.
I'll re-think and re-arrange your furniture, art, and accessories to make sure they're being used to their best advantage for your home, tastes, and lifestyle. Sometimes I'll also suggest, or even help pick up, a few new touches to pull it all together. Typical results are fresh and stunning, and perfectly suited to you.
Feng Shui
The essence of Feng Shui acknowledges simply that our lives are strongly affected by our environments. It offers guidance, based on thousands of years of observation, in arranging our living spaces to work with natural energies and their universal patterns. This helps our spaces feel alive and harmonious, which in turn helps us feel balanced and inspired. This ultimately enhances our health, relationships, careers, and overall wellbeing.
I seamlessly incorporate this powerful wisdom into my approach in a way that is very down-to-earth and intuitive. The profound effect is that your transformed space doesn't just look good -- it feels good too.
SpaceTransform
SpaceTransform is a unique service by designer Gwen Williams that blends Interior Redesign and Feng Shui to create spaces that are comfortable, functional, and beautiful, with a nourishing flow of energy.
What does Gwen need?
People who want their homes to look and feel amazing -- but don't want to buy more stuff.
Education
I am a certified Feng Shui consultant specializing in Authentic Form School Feng Shui; I trained at Blue Mountain Feng Shui Institute under Master Shan-Tung Hsu. I am also a certified Interior Redesigner, trained in Canada through the Interior Redesign Industry Specialists (I.R.I.S.) to help people make the most of their existing belongings. I studied Interior Design at Bellevue College, and have degrees in Psychology and Biology from Hamline University.
Experience
Have you ever noticed that sometimes you walk into a room and it makes you feel wonderful... like there is some magic formula at work? And sometimes, when you walk into a room and the formula is off, you can't wait to leave?
I have always been particularly sensitive to those first impressions, and through my life have paid attention to what the elements are in spaces that contribute to my comfort... or lack there-of. Some of them are obvious, and some of them are more subtle.
Early on I discovered that I intuitively knew how to create or adjust spaces so that they felt amazing. Later on, I realized that this was my very favorite thing to do. I formally studied Interior Design to build a solid foundation of design concepts and principles, Feng Shui to gain a vocabulary to describe the flow of energy which I already intuitively understood, and Interior Redesign to focus on an approach that is not simply about buying more stuff. SpaceTransform was born out of this journey.

Shamanic Healer and Teacher
EARTH CATHEDRAL
Greetings!
For the past eight years, I've had a private healing practice with a passion for helping my clients and students bring that which is out of alignment into wholeness, balance and harmony. As we heal ourselves, our lives naturally become more whole, balanced and harmonious, and these qualities are reflected back to us - in our relationships, homes, our work - everywhere.
I provide simple, effective tools to assist you in accessing your inner wisdom, empowering you to be an active participant in your healing process. The result is a quality of well-being, and a freeing up of energy which you can now "spend" on whatever you choose. What is your heart yearning for? After all, it's our birthright to engage ourselves in whatever has deep heart and meaning for us.
