How Did You Get Started in House Therapy?

Navigating HOME post-divorce. The intention for a safe, loving, magical, home life for my daughter & me. Apartments with messages and support and the Cosmic Trilogy. A full circle moment too.

When I separated from my ex-husband in 2017, I moved out of our home, his dream home... Leaving our 14 year partnership and marriage was one of the hardest decisions that I ever made. One of the biggest complexities was around HOME.

Although there was immense uncertainty and I wasn’t anywhere close to being able to buy a home when I left the marriage, I set an intention to be able to have safe, stable, loving, and magical home life for my daughter and me, no matter where we lived.

With shared custody of our daughter, I lived in a series of two apartments over 5 years out of necessity, as a single mama with private psychotherapy practice that evolved into a coaching social impact business.

While I was intimately acquainted with psychospiritual and energetic practices of surrender throughout my life, during these 5 years, I was called to surrender lifetimes karma, intergenerational patterns, and human-ing that I didn’t know were possible. I received support from my mentors, close friends, a handful of family members, and coach. I connected with my wise and well and bright and benevolent ancestors, the wisdom keepers of the land, the plant allies, animals, and guides.

The one area of my life that I didn’t have a conscious connection to was my physical living and working spaces. Although my office and apartments were lovingly curated, I didn’t know the possibilities of having a relationship with my space could have.

The stories of my two apartments may give you a hint about impact the environment can have on your space.

A busy metro line and train tracks sat outside of our first apartment with floor to ceiling windows, which felt like a metaphor with the ever present and loud fast moving energy during the first year of separation in the divorce process.

Our second apartment, the magic tree house nest, was nestled on the top floor of a 6 unit building amidst a larger condo/apartment neighborhood and held us in infinite ways. We lived at the edge of DC and Maryland close to Rock Creek Park throughout the pandemic. Across the hall, an incredibly wise and generous Jewish single mom of teens and educator would invite me on walks in the forest and make sweet potato latkes for my daughter.

House Therapy a Missing Piece for me Personally and Professionally
During my home search in late summer of 2021, my ancestors and guides led me to Amanda Gibby Peters, founder of Simple Shui and House Therapy and subsequently taking her 9 Month House Therapy Certification in January of 2023.

What’s House Therapy?
House Therapy inspires others to view their space(s) as a living, breathing entity that influences their perception and creates lasting energetic impact. 

As a House Therapist, we educate and empower others to view their spaces as living, breathing entities that hold enormous influence over their experiences. We identify – through the wisdom of Feng Shui, intentional design, biophilia, and other energetic practices – where there are opportunities to craft the consciousness and circumstances for success, teaching them a wisdom that will have a lasting energetic impact in their lives.

What’s Feng Shui?
 *Feng Shui is the sweet spot where home-improvement (or office-improvement) and self-improvement birth something more incredible than on their own.

*Feng Shui is a process to understand that our space is in a conversation with us about what’s in the way and opportunities we can co-create. (Remember some of the highlights from my two apartment stories above)

*Feng Shui is a blend of sacred art and practical science of how to be in a mutually beneficial relationship. When we empower our spaces, we empower ourselves.

Cosmic Trilogy
Unpacking the Cosmic Triology will help to illustrate why I was drawn to House Therapy. In the metaphysics of Feng Shui, the foundation of being in flow and alignment is described in the Cosmic Trilogy or the 3 Types of Luck.
