When your website no longer feels like you
Tending Your Online Home is a series of gentle website notes inspired by real client projects — small fixes, real stories, and simple ways to create an online home that feels supportive and aligned.
Tamara came to me feeling disconnected from her website.
While there were some technical issues in the background, the deeper problem was this: her website no longer reflected the warmth, depth, and grounded nature of her healing work.
As a Reiki practitioner, Access Bars facilitator, and intuitive coach, Tamara’s work is spacious, sacred, and deeply human. Her online presence wasn’t conveying that.
Her website didn’t feel like home anymore.
Why This Matters
Your website is often the first place someone encounters your work.
If it doesn’t feel like you, it becomes harder for potential clients to sense your energy, your values, and the kind of experience you offer — even if you’re incredibly skilled.
For healing practitioners especially, resonance matters as much as information.
People are not only reading your words.
They are feeling your space.
The Fix
We started by clarifying the feeling Tamara wanted her website to hold.
Together we landed on words like: earthy, rooted, lush, sacred, and welcoming.
From there, we created a simple brand style board and a gentle color palette of soft creams, sage greens, and warm peachy tones.
I redesigned her site with a calm, spacious layout so visitors can easily understand her offerings, while the visuals create an immediate sense of safety and ease.
Rather than adding more, we focused on refining and softening.
The Result
Tamara now has a website that feels like her.
Warm.
Grounded.
Inviting.
Her online home reflects the sacred, intuitive quality of her work and supports clients in taking the next step with clarity.
Try This
Take a quiet moment with your homepage and ask:
Does this feel like me?
Does this reflect how I want people to feel when they arrive?
Does it match the experience of working with me?
If not, start by writing down three words that describe the energy of your work.
Let those words become your compass.
Gentle Invitation
