The inception of The Cozy Counsel began in my 850 sq ft apartment. I like to call it my second “first” apartment. It was the first place where my true growth and healing began. However, for me to heal from situations life threw my way, I had to create a space that promoted healing—a place I wanted to be in, a place that felt warm and inviting, a place where I could be myself unapologetically. Whenever
guest visited, they would often say, “Your place feels cozy.” Then they’d relax in my papasan chair. I took pride in the compliments because it was my safe space and others felt comfortable in it. From there birthed The Cozy Counsel.
The Cozy Counsel believes everyone deserves to have a space where they can just be! A place to process the highs and lows of life. When situated in the right environment, true healing can take place. So, with that being said, pull up a chair!
Let’s get cozy!
