Your Divine Garden
In San Francisco Bay Area, CA
This is not a space for the unintentional, unconscious suppression of life, but to naturally bring forth all aspects of life in the garden to create a place that promotes connection with yourself, nature and God.
The earth is a natural tapestry of nature and soul. There is no right or wrong, no straight or direct paths, no boundaries or spaces made with constraint. It’s a spontaneous expression of life as it unfolds. It becomes an expression of your divinity, drawing you inward.
How I work:
Every detail is channeled to me while I’m in meditation and communion with God. From all design elements, plant selection, making the right cut, to creating the right look to transform a plant into a spectacular piece of art, to connecting with the soil to create the healthiest conditions for the roots. As a channel, I listen to a plant, and God, as they are speaking to me about color, texture, plant structure, season, and potential changes to make at any given time.
You’re here because you envision a garden as a Divine Connection between you, nature, and God.

The DivineGarden Process
Phase 1
Gathering Info & Garden Meditation
Once you get in touch with me, I will send you a Divine Garden Brief—a form to fill out your garden needs, desires, and other details. Once you complete your Divine Garden Brief, you will send it my way and we will schedule a Site Visit.
During the site visit, I will do three 45-minute discovery meditations at points throughout the property, as well as another meditation with you (if you’d like). This is a time of deep discovery meditation, connecting to the energy of the earth, the surrounding aura and energy field, and connecting to the divine.
Once this is complete, we are ready to dive into the second phase.
Phase 2
Garden Layout and Design
- We’ll meet to discuss your vision and needs, resulting in a client summary:
- A summary and concepts of your desires, including purpose, intentions, uses, special needs or circumstances. You choose a theme or describe the type of space you envision, perhaps inspired by culture, particular time periods or personal preferences.
- Preliminary project budget and *maintenance budget
- Intention of your start date
- We order a CAD schematic drawing the property to scale with boundaries, property lines, existing buildings and fixed aspects of your current layout. Then we can start planning the layout of your garden, considering the available space, light, water, soil and macro/microclimates.
- I begin the intuitive process of designing pathways and defining different areas within the garden, such as a meditation corner or circle, seating area(s), and water features, such as a dry creek, live creek, pond, or fountain.
- We collaborate to choose the right features, including stones, rocks, boulders, and flagstones or other to define pathways and planting beds.
Phase 3
Plant Selection
I’ll suggest a variety of plants that align with your garden’s theme and climate or microclimate. Considering a mix of flowers, shrubs, trees, herbs, and vegetables, including:
- Aromatic and textural plants that engage the senses.
- Plants with different bloom times to ensure your-round beauty.
- Native and pollinator-friendly plants to support local wildlife.
Phase 4
Water Features (optional)
Integrate water elements, such as dry creek, live creek and waterfalls, pond or fountain. The sound of flowing water can be soothing, healing, and enhance the garden’s ambiance.
Phase 5
Seating and Gathering Spaces
Place comfortable seating areas strategically throughout the garden to encourage relaxation, connection, and meditation. Spaces for friends and family to gather, and spaces just for you.
Phase 6
Meditation and Reflection Areas
Designate a serene corner for meditation or reflection. Decorate it with symbols or objects that have personal or spiritual significance to you. Install a stone, Zen type, or spiral path garden for contemplation and mindfulness.
Phase 7
Lighting
Use of soft, ambient lighting to create a magical atmosphere in the evenings. Options include string lights, lanterns, and subtle path lighting and so much more.
Phase 8
Art and Sculptures
- Placement of sculptures or art pieces that resonate with your garden’s theme.
- Artistic elements can add a touch of spirituality and inspiration to the space.
Phase 9
Aromatherapy and Fragrance
In addition to including aromatic herbs and plants in the design, also consider incense or essential oil diffusers to enhance the spiritual experience of the garden.
Phase 10
Wildlife and Sustainability
- Attract birds and butterflies by planting nectar-rich flowers and providing bird feeders and baths.
- Embrace eco-friendly practices such as composting and using organic fertilizers.
Phase 11
Walkthrough
When we’re finished, you and I wander together through your garden. I explain the details, why we did what we did, things to think about for maintenance, and how to plan for the future evolution and growth of plants.
