Mindful Living, Holistic Homes
Our homes tell the story of our lives. They are a reflection of our most authentic self. They hold space for our treasured memories, our present lives and the dreams that we plan for the future.
Home is our safe haven!
Cultivating a space of beauty, simplicity, order, function and stability fosters harmony.
When we have spaces that support the internal and external, we build a foundation for
our family to grow, build upon and flourish.
WHAT IS A HOLISTIC SPACE ?
Holistic health & wellness encompasses and treats the individual as a whole.
A Holistic space, is designed to support the wellness of self and our family members on a mind, body & soul level. When we prepare ourselves and the environment they share in, our family thrives!.
Life can get overwhelming!
It can take a toll on our nervous systems!
Creating spaces that support our overall health can be so beneficial as a parent and the household at large. It allows us to be a better prepared & present parent for our children and family's ever growing needs.
Our home is the first environment we wake up to and end our day in.
When we create nourishing spaces, it assists in cultivating a sense of safety and peace. An inner steadiness that will be carried for life!
Meet Elisa
Holistic Stylist, Montessori Educator, Life & Mindfulness Coach
It's nice to meet you!
I am a certified Montessori Educator, Life & Mindfulness Coach & former Hair Stylist. I live in Ontario Canada with my husband, our two teens and our Frenchie dog Oreo. I enjoy family time, cooking, thriftng, crafts, organizing, decorating, diys, beauty & fashion. Self-care is a must to maintain my mental, emotional, physical & spiritual well being. I'm a Virgo. I enjoy learning about astrology, human behaviour and expressing myself with creative writing.
I have moved home 13 times in my life so far! Flipping houses somehow became a part of our family's path. I'm a multi-passionate person!
At some point or another on our parenting journey we find ourselves questioning. We start reflecting on what we want from life, for our family and why we want it? I can relate! This is where I have been myself!
After the birth of my children I suffered 3 bouts postpartum depression and anxiety. I was engulfed in a whirlwind of confusion and fear. It was then that I embarked on the path of self-awareness. It was the beginning of a journey back home to my true self. I didn't want to pass down my trauma to my children. There was much work to be done, and I had a fierce determination to uncover my truth. I knew there must be a way to find peace and contentment especially in my everyday life. Montessori and Holistic living gave me that contentment. It made such an impact on my personal journey as well as my family's forever!
Throughout my life I have had the honour to get to know women & children on a profound level. Listening, observing and guiding with the utmost attentiveness, understanding and encouragement.
My business reflects my most authentic self, for it encompasses my personal, professional and life experience. I would love to share it, so you may embrace your motherhood journey with less doubt and more ease!
Montessori & The Prepared Environment
What is Montessori ?
How does implementing the philosophy create a Mindful & Holistic Home?
The Montessori Method is an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1909.
Her method is based upon her extensive observations of children that emphasised self-direction and self-paced learning. Her belief and findings revealed children's abilities to be innate learners. She discovered that when children are gently guided in an environment that was set up to their developmental stage and individual needs, they flourished.
The prepared environment is carefully designed to support growth. Everything within the space, holds a purpose and a place.
Maria Montessori also found that when a child is exposed to rich experiences that develop the senses, it helps towards a better understanding of themselves, others and their world around them. Her philosophy has proven that when guided with this method, children have a strong sense of self and are better able to follow their inner compass as they grow into adulthood.
As parents we are our child's teacher of life. Maria Montessori referred to teachers, mentors and parents as guides. We are their example.
Her discoveries concluded that when the student, teacher and environment work together, they cohesively form a healthy support system for the child to develop as a whole. Mind, body & soul.
When adopted in our homes, it provides all the elements to support and bring unity to our family. Adults, parents and children can benefit from her philosophy.
Montessori starts at home!
