We support agencies and ministries that are already doing incredible work.

We partner with local organizations that are already working to assist women out of their initial crisis. These are usually residential programs that last anywhere from a few months up to two years. After a woman is referred to us by one of our partners, we begin the process of creating a haven in her own home.

This is what our process looks like:

Free Consultation In Her Home

We meet with recently graduated clients in their existing space to get an idea of her needs and style. We have a unique, trauma-informed approach with our clients that protects dignity, encourages hope, and calms potential anxiety before and during the process.

Sometimes we suggest a few homework items such as decluttering, painting, etc., depending on the client’s time/financial resources.

Personalized Design Plan

We create an individual design plan for each woman based on our assessment of her current space, recovery, social needs, and personality. Our designs are heavily influenced by research on healing spaces, visual comfort, and stress reducing colors that will promote security and peace for women impacted by addiction or trauma.

Shopping + Assembly

After the design plan is created, we begin shopping and assembling all the items we will need to turn her home into a haven. This process usually takes a week or two, depending on the urgency of the client’s needs or available resources.

Install Day + Optional Surprise Reveal

We schedule a day to deliver the items, assemble the room, and reveal the new space! If painting or decluttering are required, we might break this into two sessions or schedule a whole day for the install. Usually this process takes about 3-4 hours with the help of a few volunteers. If clients want to be present for the install process, they are welcome. Otherwise, they wait to see the complete reveal after we are finished.

We use a unique approach to home decor/design that is focused on creating an environment that promotes peace, healing, and inspiration especially for women recovering from trauma or addictions. We’ve spent countless hours researching the effects of physical environments on emotional/behavioral wellbeing — such as the physiological properties of color, the damaging effects of clutter, and how to promote visual comfort in a space.

Many of these studies have been conducted with hospitals and rehabilitation centers in mind, but we want to bring that research into the homes that need it most. We believe that home design can assist in the healing process.
