Let's say you have decluttered, got organised, learnt new skills, and sorted life out according to your values (gosh -- sounds like you took all my other services!). Now you look around and want your surroundings to be in better condition, too. This assessment uses you as the tuning fork, so to speak, and inspects your whole living environment to bring it into closer harmony, both with you and within its own architecture & landscape.

Vibe Squad
The service consists of a thorough inspection of your living quarters, surrounds, and lifestyle in order to prepare a long-term plan for holistic improvements: a 're-vibe' :-) I can instruct you in how to do it yourself (if you just want to receive the Property Assessment materials), or I can walk you through the initial assessment and help you draw up a long-term plan (if you choose an Assessment Walk-through). Either way, you (or we) will enlist a team of helpers (a 'Vibe Squad') along the way to carry out the recommendations over time.
The service is rather like a Feng Shui assessment in scope & outcome, but with an important difference:
I love Feng Shui and other placement arts, but I also love to know how things work, so I studied for myself why so much of that field does work. Then I only included those parts I felt confident I could explain. Don't get me wrong -- I'm sure a Feng Shui master knows exactly why she or he can get awesome results. Please, bear with me and read on.
The service is also a bit like an architectural or building inspection, of the kind you might request if you were buying a property and wanted to know if it were a good investment. This assessment does not replace such an inspection. Nor would it replace a sustainability assessment, although it is a close cousin! Those are not my fields.
Instead, this assessment looks at specific elements in all these types of inspections from a particular point of view. It poses a comprehensive set of desirable characteristics for a built environment and the life within it, and asks, "If the householder had created this home to promote holistic well-being for its inhabitants & surroundings, how good a job is this home doing?"
The inspection answers that. I then program the steps needed to improve the success of your home as a harmonious microcosm for you, and I can help you manage implementation of the steps if and as you wish.
I've drawn on research into Feng Shui, Vaastu (the earlier placement art from India), Wabi Sabi ('simplified living', to put it in a clumsy nutshell), sustainability, passive solar design, interior design, colour, decluttering, natural health and even sleep studies to select compatible threads that ring true, and devise my own method of holistic assessment.
The resultant program can be carried out according to your budget and commitment to the process: anything from economical tweaking to major renovations. Regardless of level, you can pace the steps out to suit the time and resources available. Even small, steady improvements will help. Very little in the completed assessment will change all by itself -- except perhaps to become even more valid, so the program will usually hold good for up to at least a year of working through it.

Re-Vibe Checklist
I call the full steps of this assessment The Re-Vibe Checklist because the first step is to run through a checklist that, in essence, evaluates specific 'vibes' of your property in order to tune them up. This is not in any mystical sense, as I'm talking about vibes in terms of the relative harmony of actual vibrations given off by sights, sounds, substances & so forth, according to the information I've studied on these subjects.
I might just as easily have called it the Homestead Assessment, or a Standard of Living Consultation. Whatever the name, it treats your home as more than a box separate from other boxes in the neighbourhood -- whether you live in a flat or a mansion. It helps you improve your own lot while taking a wider responsibility for the zone in which you live, by merely adjusting your own dwelling, pathways & habits. Your home will be your castle. You get to be the centre of the universe! 'And other outrageous claims', I know, but it does feel a bit magic. You'll just have to try it for yourself.
It's a big service: 27 major factors to check, with a group of sub-factors under each one of those. My part in it need not be long -- I could simply do the assessment, write you a program and leave you to it. But it's no superficial look. It's a detailed inspection of a) your property in the context of its neighbourhood; and b) your household, with its general health, relationships, & lifestyle. You will get better results being guided through key steps.

The really exciting part is that this service has never been done before! Not even by me! No, seriously, I've done a version of it each time I've moved over the years -- and am gradually working through a new round with this latest version. Portions of it were developed for specific decluttering jobs. Yet no-one has so far received the full checklist from start to finish. The great news? You might be able to talk me into a generous discount on portions I'm less experienced in. Rest assured, I'm very well-researched in the steps, and will readily call on experts for advice (my Vibe Squad), so we will all enjoy the adventure. You are also protected by my money-back guarantee.
How do I get the Re-Vibe Assessment?
Go to the Contact page and send a brief description of your situation & property (this works for rentals, too, remember). State the outcome you'd like to achieve. I'll provide a form for the preliminary inspection, and give you a rough idea of what else the job might involve. As with the Coaching proviso, you may need to do one or more of the standard services within this longer program, and possibly even some specific coaching, but that will all come up in the full assessment should you decide to go ahead. This Specialist Service will be tailored for you. If you would like to know more, remember there is no obligation with any enquiry, so ask away.
