Sacred Spaces
Beauty is a bridge to the divine
Arranging beauty was my earliest form of worship. I can still remember my own tiny fingers gathering weeds that sprung from cracks in a wall, roses and herbs from gardens, to offer as gifts… each little nosegay an expression of my divine essence, my heart in my hand. Then, it was furniture in my room- my tiny self wedged between a wall and a bed shoving with my feet to get it “just so!”
Now, creating spaces infused with meaning and aligned with a specific intention has become a passion.
Altar + Holy Place
Transforming a room, a nook or shelf, or porch into a sanctuary or alter space has been a spiritual practice for millennia. This creates s tangible place to remember and express your divinity and your intimate connection to your Creator. This is a potent practice, regardless of the size or space devoted to it. This can form a bridge to explore ongoing practices or rituals from there.
“I have watched Elizabeth turn the simplest of greenery into a wonderland. She creates beauty everywhere she goes…within two hours, my home was transformed into the most gorgeous, welcoming, warm sanctuary.”

Sanctuary for Bed Bound
To create a peaceful Sanctuary for someone who is, for any reason, bed-bound is needed and holy work.
Being bed-bound is very intense and complex for both the person in the bed and their loved ones. Often I see waves of despair, confusion, moments of deep intimacy, tenderness, fear, and the chaos of juggling the 1001 things on top of pain and suffering… Everyone’s nervous systems become on edge and dis-regulated. Decision fatigue is overwhelming.
While transforming the environment does not magically erase all this, it does create tangible tranquility and an oasis to anchor into. Nervous systems become more regulated, breathing naturally becomes deeper and the natural law of peace shifts much inside and out. The effects are profound.
In crises, beauty is often overlooked, or de-prioritized by caregivers, A need so deeply unconscious, few would think to ask for it to be met. (I’ve been there.) As such, this service could be a very special gift, or investment made in your healing journey- or that of a loved one.
There are endless causes, recovering from an acute injury, surgery, navigating a season of chronic illness or pain, or a soul transitioning from this life.
Ceremony + Events
Are you planning a retreat, circle, gathering, ceremony, or other event? Aligning with the intention that you have set in motion, I will “set the stage,” creating an atmosphere for transformation. -The scope may vary from a single focal point such as a mandala or alter space to a multi-room venue.
“… she weaves in a palette of natural elements to create beautiful dynamic displays…Setting a perfect container for magic to drop in. It’s as if the divine is flowing through her with everything she touches!”

Elizabeth created a most beautiful and vibrant sanctuary setting at my home for a sacred women’s retreat. She thoughtfully enriched my home & truly brought new life to our setting. She was amazing to work with and I’ve told so many friends about the magic touch she brings to any occasion!
