Private Lifestyle Improvement Retreats at My San Diego, CA Home
Enjoy the beautiful beach
near my home.
Welcome to my
"urban cottage treehouse" home.
Leave the hustle and bustle of your busy life behind and come to the beautiful beach in sunny San Diego, CA, located in Southern California and known as “America’s Finest City.” You’ll receive my undivided personal attention and lifestyle improvement consulting/coaching for an entire relaxing and informative retreat day.
Rejuvenate and recharge while you learn how to organize, streamline, and beautify your personal and business/career life, home, office, time, filing systems, closets...your entire lifestyle...in a program that’s customized just for you.
When we’re done, everything in your life will run more smoothly!
-
Your career productivity will increase
-
You’ll be more relaxed and happy
-
You’ll finally have time to do the personal things you really want to do, like spend more time with your family, write that novel, or paint that masterpiece!
Learn my organizing tips and tricks for working at home.
My husband's side of our home business office.
Before you arrive, I’ll ask you to take the free online Keirsey Personality Assessment that I’ve used with many consulting clients, and I’ll also e-mail you my complete Lifestyle Assessment that I have developed based on my experience in working over many years as a professional organizer, online decorating consultant, and home and garden author. You can read about my real world experience and see what my clients say about my organizing/lifestyle improvement services and worldwide virtual organizing consulting/coaching.
When you arrive in beautiful San Diego, you'll stay overnight at a lovely lodging facility of your choice near my home, which is just minutes away from the charming and upscale seaside village of LaJolla, CA. You’ll be treated both like royalty and like family when you tour every nook and cranny of my serene and orderly "urban cottage treehouse" home and home-based business office, which is set amidst tall palms, soothing fountains, lush bamboo trees, and beautiful Bird of Paradise flowers.
Listen to the
soothing fountains.
Enjoy the flora and fauna of
Southern California.
During your tour of my home, you’ll be privy to my years of lifestyle improvement secrets and solutions and I’ll coach you on how to make my tips work for your own lifestyle. I’ll explain the "why" and "how" behind my home and business organizing, space planning, time management, filing, and business productivity methods down to the last detail.
Your program will also include the printed version of my e-book Organizing Tips & Quips, my favorite checklists and forms, and some other surprise goodies for you to take home. I’ll even show you how I organize my car so that I get where I need to go, on time, and so can you! (Yes, I really did once teach a client how to organize his work van so he could improve his productivity while on the road--right down to his tools and paperwork!)
During your lifestyle retreat, I’ll make you one of my "cottage cuisine" lunches from my personal recipe file, and we’ll dine together on fine china at my beautifully set dining table, or you're welcome to take a picnic lunch down to my swimming pool and relax on your own. You’ll also have free time to rest, enjoy, and process what you’ve learned.
We'll enjoy cottage cuisine together.
Take a swim in my pool.
So that you can experience a fabulous San Diego seaside sunset, I’ll treat you to dinner on the bluff overlooking the gorgeous Pacific Ocean at my favorite historical cottage restaurant, Brockton Villa.
Extras you can choose from include a consulting/coaching walk on the beach with me, pampering massage at Massage Envy, a swim in my Olympic size pool, or a workout at my on-site gym in order to make your retreat even more fun and restful.
I look forward to having you visit me soon in sunny San Diego, CA for your complete lifestyle improvement makeover!
