If you’re like me, your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. But let’s be real: sometimes our homes don’t exactly “agree” with our furry roommates! 
We’ve all been there: the “zoomies” on slippery floors or the mystery barking at things we can’t even see. I’m expanding how we approach living with our animals and diving into the Architecture of Coexistence. Think of it as the ultimate glow-up for Universal Design where we considers all occupants — regardless of species, age or ability.
As a Sensory Systems Home Consultant, I use technical HSW protocols to hack your home’s “Invisible Map”. We’re talking Ethonomics: engineering spaces that tackle everything from “Micro-Anxiety” triggers to that ultrasonic hum only your cat can hear. 
Let’s engineer a sanctuary where every nose, ear, and paw—and you!—can finally catch a vibe and decompress. 
What I Do:
I specialize in partnering with designers, builders and architects in creating beautiful, elevated spaces that solve the unique pain points of multi-species and multi-generational households, including and especially health, safety and welfare for all occupants of the household, including and especially the most vulnerable. Think:
This methodology is called the Domus Vitae Standard™, which is Latin for The Living Home.
The Domus Vitae Standard™
Welcome to the technical foundation of modern residential design. As our understanding of the built environment evolves, we are moving beyond “pet-friendly” aesthetics and into a new era of biological accountability. The Domus Vitae Standard™ is a rigorous, multidisciplinary framework designed to align the architecture of the home with the physiological and psychological needs of all its inhabitants, regardless of species, age or ability.
At its core, DV is a commitment to HSW: Health, Safety, and Welfare. By recognizing that a household is a multi-species ecosystem, we expand the definition of “Welfare” to include the mitigation of chronic biological stress and the prevention of physical injury for every resident. What’s amazing is, what’s good for your pets is also good for your toddlers, seniors, and neuro-diverse individuals as well. Our approach considers the greatest good for the greatest number.
