“At its heart, my work is about helping people to feel supported, inspired, and to thrive in the spaces they inhabit because how we feel in our environment shapes how we experience life.”
— Sarah Rios
I’ve always been drawn to the way spaces make me feel. Some of my earliest memories are tied to the energy of a room and whether it felt welcoming and safe or made me want to turn around and dart for the door. That intuition led me to pursue a BFA in Interior Architecture and a career designing high-end residences throughout California and internationally for highly respected interior design firms, including several years as a senior designer for Douglas Durkin Design in San Francisco.
While working as an interior designer, I realized that true harmony comes not just from aesthetics, but from nurturing the energy of a space. I began studying with Tereza Iniguez, a Mesoamerican healer, learning to read energies, conduct space clearings, and perform ceremonies for healing and celebration. These teachings inspired me to incorporate spiritual alignment into my design practice.
In 2014 the journey of my career extended further into the construction industry and I became the director of Devlin McNally Construction, a small high-end residential construction company based in San Francisco. This experience deepened my understanding of the built environment and the systems that make spaces thrive.
In time, I pursued my Feng Shui practitioner certification, discovering the perfect framework to align our interiors with our inner lives. Today, I help clients create “thriving spaces” that support health, joy, prosperity, and clarity. Through Feng Shui, I guide individuals to remove blocks, restore balance, and reconnect with their authentic selves, cultivating environments that nurture both spirit and soul.
