Interior designer offers class

Wellness home consultant Pat Sendejas of Thousand Oaks will lead a class this Saturday that will explain "how our environments are a reflection on the challenges and feelings we are dealing with in our personal lives and indicate where we are headed," she said.

With 25 years of interior design experience, she is a "Wellness Home" columnist for L.A. Daily News Today magazine and believes that home is one’s key to peace as well as financial success.

Sendejas is a graduate of UCLA’s Interior and Environmental Design Program and has also earned certification from the Feng Shui Institute of Los Angeles.

According to Sendejas, "Offices with stacks of paperwork indicate a feeling of being overwhelmed and a lack of clarity regarding one’s career. Cluttered garages and basements represent our subconscious and indicate how we are blocking our true desires. Piling things on stairs and behind doors, limiting the opening, indicates a desire for protection keeping people from coming too close."

Sendejas will also provide advice on "the water we drink the air we breathe, the bedrooms where we sleep, and the landscape and land where a home is placed."

In each class Sendejas gives each participant an opportunity to create his or her own personality chart revealing color and elements of nature that support the individual.

Interior photos will be studied to show people how to create spaces that support the individual, creating a cozy meditation space in a small condo or home, areas to support conversation and build relationships, and bedrooms that support deep restful sleep.

"Learning how to use our environments to nurture and support ourselves will go a long way in reducing stress and creating the peace we all seek in our world," said Sendejas.
