On Site Consultations
I come to your space.Together we look at the whole picture, what things are like now and what you would love the space to be. We focus on both immediate and long term solutions for the areas that concern you. At the end of a consultation you have a clear plan for how to proceed. It may or may not involve me.
Hands-On Work
When you want me to help with the physical process we schedule 3 hour work sessions where together we tackle one specific space at a time. During these sessions we develop maintenance methods tailored to your way of thinking and the realities of your life.
Joanna helps you create room. She respects your vision, needs and abilities. As much as possible, she uses the materials you already have. You describe what you want - she helps you get there! - B.B.
Virtual Consultation with Follow-up Coaching
This consultation is done by internet and phone. After you send photos,
we look at the space together while talking on the phone. I analyze what is going on just as I do when I'm consulting in person. Follow up check-ins and email support help you develop new perspective and skills.
