Christine Hardy Holistic Healer : Home and Organisation Alignment

Home Alignment is applied to the balancing of spaces, whether it be domestic homes, commercial buildings or the land. The home/office is an extension of one-self and reflects aspects of ourselves going back to our early experiences, influencing our relationship with our personal space, home space, the environment and the cosmos. THE BALANCING PROCEDURE of the building is done on the building plan and involves all the occupants of the home, office or organisation. The client is first taken through certain procedures to bring them into alignment with their personal space (their physical body) in preparation for alignment with their home/work space. The building is then assessed and balanced for geopathic stress and electromagnetic radiation, as well as any other negative influences.

For bookings, contact Christine Hardy on 0823735460 or email christineh@tsol.co.za

Testimonial from Grant Webster Design Director and Owner of FHD
‘I understand that unseen energies can have detrimental effects on people's health and also impact the quality of our internal and external business relationships. So I engaged the services of Christine Hardy as an Energy consultant and healer to maximise the full potential of my business.

Christine worked from floor plans and on site in order to establish the energy patterns and identify positive and negative areas and influences.

Prior to moving into the new premises, Christine indentified problematic areas from the floor plan such as electrical sub stations located under the building, along with Geopathic stress which was caused by a black stream (organic waste) in main sewerage pipes running under the building where our offices are located. Christine was able to harmonise the energy frequencies and make them more compatible with the body's energy system. Individual members of staff were muscle tested (a form of kinesiology) to assess the effectiveness of this process.

I found Christine pleasant and professional and recommend her for this work. We will be recommending Christine to our clients, especially when they relocate to new offices as a means of promoting harmony and growth, as this is part of our holistic approach to office interior design, something I believe in myself, and actively promote’.
Neat Freak organisational products now available online

NEAT FREAK, the professional organising business that seeks to make being organised fun, is proud to announce the launch of its online store.


Since its inception in 2008, NEAT FREAK has been offering its clients creative and easy-to-implement organising solutions through consultations, its funky website, information packs and workshops. Now, owner Isabelle de Grandpre (committee member of the Professional Organiser Association of Africa – POAA), is using all her knowledge of what is functional, coupled with her unique take on being organised, to bring you the Neat Freak product line.

“One of my visions for Neat Freak has been that you don’t have to be boring to be organised, and to me, this means that when I organise a space, I want it to say something about me. So if I need to use a box,” says Isabelle, “it isn’t going to be a boring brown one (unless it’s going in the garage)!”

Products on offer range from bags and cases to desktop products and boxes. Go to www.neatfreak.co.za to view or place an order
