Color Therapy | personalize your palette, excite your senses
Color Therapy
Take your colors from subliminal to the sublime. Part therapy, part remedy, 100% interior design.

Multi-layered modalities are considered
Psychological – Design Therapy
Color can influence thoughts and feelings in similar ways to sights and sounds triggering positive memories from the past, but not all of them are supportive. For instance, when colors are dissonant with no harmonious visual relation they read like clutter or chaos to our sub conscious. Each color has a distinct way that it affects us personally, on a mental and emotional basis.

Feng Shui
Kim coordinates colors to your feng shui bagua. Each color is considered in terms of how it works in harmony with the natural elements. Colors are used to direct the flow of energy and bring your home into balance.
Shamanic Astrology
A Native American system passed onto Kim by her mother who is a keeper in the tradition, bestowed to her by Grandmother Twylah Hurd Nitsch, then the president of the American Seneca Nation. Kim uses Shamanic Astrology to determine which personal colors are supportive to you on an innate level. Using these principles, each of us have a group of colors which bring us in or out of balance. Shamanic Astrology is an aspect of the Seneca people’s Medicine Wheel of Peace.
Bespoke, Artistic Design
As a fine artist turned designer, Kim has a creative, artful way of working with color. Her high-style, high-vibe sensibility elevates your visual landscape while encouraging a restorative ambiance. She can design one striking wall mural, curate the perfect wall color to tie your room together or develop a subtle, monochromatic palette for your entire home.
Whether your personality is bold or demure, your sensibility, needs, desires and style drive the final result.
Each color has its own effect to…
- calm nerves
- uplift mood
- inspire creativity
- activate productivity
