Our spaces impact how we flow through our days in significant ways.
Interior Space Evaluation
& Design Consulting
Going beyond the looks of interior design and into the benefits of Bllis.
Space and time for “soul-inspiring” activities, increased motivation, the feeling of a weight being lifted off your chest, deeper conversations, clients driving hours to see you in person, a reignited sense of creativity, an elevated sense of security… the awareness that we are our spaces.
The Benefits of Bllis
Bllis exists to explore the impact intentional and evidence-based interior design techniques can have on our overall health and well-being.
What if our spaces are waiting for us to realize their potential so they can show us how to realize our own?
The Journey to Bllis
An online interior space exploration focusing on designing for ideal moods, emotions, and experiences, while making the most of what is already there.
The journey starts with a Connect and ends with a Share, with three individualized and immersive workshops in between.
Connect
1
In this (free) introductory meeting, we will get to know one another, discuss the goals within your space and explore our partnership possibilities.
Explore
2
Through an intro questionnaire and space exploring exercises, we will officially kick-off our journey by (you) collecting perspectives for us to explore.
We will take what has been collected into our workshop to virtually explore the current vs. ideal physical and emotional aspects of your space, as well as experiences, to start creating a “Run of Flow” towards your Vision.
Learn
3
In this session, we will explore the senses through various design techniques that impact health and well-being, moods and emotions - with creative brainstorms along the way.
Make It Happen
4
After a moment to digest new lessons learned, we will come back together to harmonize phases one thru three to create a detailed action plan for your space that is accessible and intentional.
After this final workshop, you will start bringing the plan to life, experiment and feel the impact of the changes every step of the way.
Share
5
What happened? What brought life love into your space? Did your Vision come to life? In this final connect, you will share your experiences and we will celebrate wins together while planting more seeds in a never ending cycle to Bllis.
Ana, Manuel & Pedro’s Home
The living room is the main space in the house, where we eat, watch movies, read, gaming, listen to music. Although it is a big enough room, it was chaotic, messy, and badly divided with an in-between area not used for anything, actually.
I needed a change but felt stuck and unable to change the flow of the room. Did not know where to begin, felt overwhelmed, and lacked the energy for the task.
Lyndsay helped us realize what was wrong, introduced new concepts, and showed us the importance of bringing nature inside, the power of light, and the tiny details that have a huge impact on our daily lives. It took a while to absorb the concept, but then it all made sense, the flow started, and the changes were finally happening. The room now feels better organized, we all got our own private spaces within the same room (even the cats!)
Space utilization increased by ~50%

The Stories of Bllis
Kathleen’s Psychotherapy Office
I feel different. And maybe at the end of the day, that’s the most important thing actually, because in therapy my nervous system regulates their nervous system. I feel very energetically calm in the space. I like it better. I like spending time there now.
Practice enrollment increased by 30% within weeks following space changes
In-person attendance increased by 20% (50% to 60% in-person sessions)

Abby’s Home
I remember starting this project with you, initially feeling a sense of defeat in this tiny, one-bedroom apartment of mine. I was not aware that the clutter in my space was wafting an air of stress. I told myself the clutter was "functional," when it actually made me dread entering the kitchen where I need to work the most. I dreaded the dining room too, which is where I wanted to work on multiple creative projects but just couldn't bring myself to spend time in the room. The reality is, it was a dysfunctional space. I was resigned to the idea that this is the nature of small apartments: Essence of claustrophobia. You showed me I was wrong.
Free time changes: From Netflix to applying for a new job, restarting meditation practice, restarting reading poetry, and starting “soul-inspiring” creative projects.

90%* of modern life is spent indoors…
An estimated 1 in 4 people from around the world suffer from a mental health condition.**
We all know that our environments deeply impact our moods, stress levels, and motivation, WHY NOT explore ways our interior spaces (our rooms, our offices, our community centers) can bring out the best in us?
