Welcome to Shinka Home
What is Shinka Home?
As a Shinka Home Coach, I work with you and/or your family to co-create a home environment to reflect your priorities and goals.
- We simplify your home to reflect who we are and what is important to us
- We build a flow for how we live in the house - for ourselves, our partners, children, pets, parents and friends.
- We build a rhythm to reflect the drumbeat of the house - so we aren't caught off guard by groceries, soccer practice, meal prep and more.
- You probably already think this way....because so often we spend so much time thinking about what we want in our home and why we want it.
A new kitchen with an open concept - I love to entertain and want bring people together. - A walk in closet - I want to be able to see everything when I get ready in the morning. Not feel rushed anymore in the mornings.
- New containers from the Container Store - I want to be able to find things
Our Approach
Shinka Home Consultation
We conduct an in-home consultation to understand you and your needs. How do you want to live in this space? What is serving you? What is not serving you? What are we tolerating? We may take measurements inside cabinets & closets, look at the flow of a space and furniture orientation. We may want to meet your children, partners and pets so we understand all the lovely people who live under your roof.
This consultation is charged at an hourly rate and we will send you a form in advance to make our time together as effective as possible.
Shinka Home Plan
We design a Shinka Home Plan with one of four recommended Shinka pathways: Self-Guided, Together and Fast Track or Fast Track+. This includes a suggestions for intentional locations for specific items in your home and recommendations for products to ease your journey.
Our Pathways
Self-Guided
Fast Track & Fast Track+
Self-Guided
This pathway is for those that would like to have someone show them how to complete their Shinka Home Plan.
We would recommend a series
of trainings based on your needs:
Simplicity - Flow - Rhythm
We recommend this pathway for individuals with a high-task orientation, that work well with established plans and for couples that work well together.
Together
Fast Track & Fast Track+
Self-Guided
This pathway is for those that would like to have someone with them as they complete their Shinka Home Plan.
This is the fastest way for an individual to build their skills
We recommend this pathway for families with children where we want the children to build these skills, couples that are blending households for the first time or people with ADHD or other concerns that may complicate completing tasks independently.
Fast Track & Fast Track+
Fast Track & Fast Track+
Fast Track & Fast Track+
This pathway is for those that need to complete their Shinka Home Plan quickly.
We share your home plan with a professional home organizer who can partner with you to design a team-approach to quickly implement your plan.
Fast Track will also include the self-guided training sessions to learn how to maintain the work in your home.
OR
Fast Track+ will also include the Together Training sessions to learn to maintain the work.
Our Training Sessions
Simplicity
Simplicity
Simplicity
This is a 60 minute training session for someone who wants to simplify their life and "process" or "5S" all their belongings.
In this time-bound session, we create a task for a single type of item or location - clothing, bathroom, kitchen - demonstrate how to "process" and simplify our things. We do not complete the task together but ensure that we show how to get started, do some of the sorting together to build comfort with the skill and then leave you to finish the activity with a recommended schedule for the rest of your items.
With a Shinka Home Plan,
you may sign up for as many
Shinka Home-Simplicity Sessions as you like.
Flow
Simplicity
Simplicity
This is a 2-hour training session to learn how to see the flow of the home and think through what is not serving us.
This is different than a Simplicity Session.
Here we learn how to examine the flow of our home - how we walk through and navigate our space - identify clutter zones, tight spots with furniture that may not be meeting our needs, unclear pathways and more.
With a Shinka Home Plan, you may sign up
for these as needed.
Rhythm
Simplicity
Rhythm
This is a series of sessions to identify the rhythm of your home.
We partner together to create a master schedule - home maintenance, work travel, children's schedules and then identify what are trigger points, open spaces, critical pathway for the rhythm of life in the home.
