About Me

Did you know that the average home has over 300,000 possessions? Imagine what it would look like if everything was sprawled out on your living room floor. I’m here to tell you: It’s very overwhelming.

I was someone who held onto everything. I grew up during a time when kids typically only received things for holidays and birthdays. I was grateful for what I had, even when it was often a damaged hand-me-down. That amazing feeling of getting something “new,” even if it was only new to me, filled a void in my life - a void that was left empty from being the youngest of three children. I held onto everything. Whether it was the last stuffed animal gifted from my Nana that I’d never see again, or a piece of scrap paper that had a bunch of scribbles from me practicing printing my name. My “stuff” became my identity - an identity that I would seek to find for many years to come.

I began cleaning houses in 2011. It gave me purpose. There was instant gratification in making someone else’s “stuff” look and feel better, without actually having to hold onto it myself. I gradually became obsessed with keeping things neat, tidy, and clean. I removed emotions from tangible items, learning how to let things go. Understanding the correlation between the item itself and the emotion behind it was astonishing. My journey of self-discovery became my way of life; but an excessive amount of stuff caused chaos, instability, and disharmony.

No matter how much I downsized or removed emotions from physical belongings, I still seemed to have more than what I needed. The quantity of possessions was soon taking over my ability to think clearly and get past a roadblock. I was helping others with their needs, but I couldn’t help myself with mine.

Then a friend randomly recommended a book about Feng Shui. Being introduced by a cousin many moons ago, I decided to take a chance. I amateurishly dabbled with the concept for several years. After having to move, I thought I’m doing it right this time. I decluttered like nobody’s business - I couldn’t find enough stuff to purge and donate. I wanted to live a simple life - efficient and completely void of useless tchotchkes, but without looking like I had yet to unpack from the move.

I could not believe how well Feng Shui worked! My mind became crystal clear when I had removed all the obstacles from unnecessary possessions, strategically placed my furniture, and enhanced each room with very specific Elements. I could have felt like this years ago if I was not so weighed down both physically and mentally by clutter.

Here I am today; and there is nothing that would be more rewarding than to pass my knowledge and skills onto others so they can follow their own destined roads. I was lost and found my way home. I call it: Home Remedy Interior Solutions.
