SERVING SEDONA AND THE VERDE VALLEY AREA

Tracey's Story

I can’t remember the exact time that I knew I was going to start my own business but I do know that I became unhappy and dissatisfied with my life and my job and I lived that way for quite awhile. I was working for California Closets in Montreal for almost 20 years. I was their top producer and I was making them a lot of money…but it was never enough. This is all I knew. I had nowhere to go. 


I was burnt out and miserable and starting to slack in my job. I decided I needed some “me time” and ended up in Sedona to do a yoga teacher training. I FELL IN LOVE! The place felt like home. The people felt like family and the lifestyle resonated with me. I went back and forth to Sedona for a year and decided that this was where I was meant to be and I would do whatever it took to get there. When I make up my mind to do something…I get it done!

I went to see a lawyer to see what it would take to get a visa, start a business and create the life I wanted! I rented out my house, moved in with my sister and spent 9 months saving the money it took, writing the business plan it required and praying with all my might that it was all good enough! AND IT WAS! I got a five year visa and the opportunity for a new life with my own business.

I knew with my expertise that I could deliver amazing designs, planning and top notch service very affordably and truly help people. I deliver results, professional designs and a quality product without the markups of the large franchises! I pass these savings on directly to clients, and because of this, everyone wins!
