Kari Baker
Now more than ever, our lives are so fast-paced. Making the time to connect to what brings us peace, calm, productivity, and joy can get lost. Having a home that feels like our sanctuary, creating a work environment that is so cozy that it feels like home, or creating a WFH area where our productivity flourishes is not a “nice to have,” it is essential to our success and well-being on every level. KariB Lifestyle takes practices, tools, rituals, and proven methods to organize, design, and create an environment where you thrive, produce, and rejuvenate at home and work. Everything can easily be done virtually with some simple questions and through video.
If you work from home, are a stay-home parent, are a CEO, or a start-up company wanting to create a specific vibe for your business, then changing the flow of your space, decluttering, and organizing creates a more cohesive space for creativity, communication, and productivity whether at home or at the office.
Philosophy & Style
KariB Lifestyle is a merging of Kan Mari, common sense, western Feng Shui, space design, redesign, native rituals, and spiritual practices applied to you, your home and/or business. Taking all of the things that have interested me and that I’ve practiced with family, friends, and customers, that brings a peaceful energetic flow to your life and the spaces where you live, work and play. We all have a unique relationship to our belongings because they do just that, help us belong to people, our career, hobbies, and activities. Before we organize your home, we first bring organization to your mind. I bring spiritual and intuitive tools into our work together so that no only your home or office feels good, but you feel good.
Training
Formally, I have a master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) and did clinical work for 11 years. Empathy is something that is innate in me. There is an emotional connection that has to be addressed when clearing and organizing your space. If we do one without the other, the results won’t last. I combine all of my training as a former therapist in cognitive behavioral therapy, emotive therapies, and even grief work. I have worked with incredible energy medicine healers, studied through the Western Feng Shui Institute, and stay well-read and practiced on new tools in the personal organizing space.

HOW I WORK
Your space is a reflection of how you feel about yourself. I consider us partners during this process. We begin with a phone/video consult. You share what areas you want to work on, what kind of feelings you currently have that you are wanting to change in regard to your space, and any problem areas or concerns. Our work will be virtually, meaning we use video calls. You can show me the space(s) you are looking to improve. From there, I send you a proposal for your approval. Once approved, we lock in the date and get to work! See Virtual Organizing.
We review your goals and most importantly, you state how you want to feel in your space. This is our guiding star during the work. In your home or office, my work without your involvement is not possible, if we are to make lasting changes.
