About Sarah

Designer/ Artist/ Holistic Living Practitioner

My work is shaped by a diverse background spanning art and design, education, and holistic wellness. Over time, these disciplines have naturally converged into a thoughtful approach to creating spaces that feel balanced, supportive, and deeply personal.

After studying fine arts in Toronto and design in Paris, France, I built a rewarding career in fashion design, illustration, and costume design for film, theatre, and television. Living and working in Europe deepened my appreciation for craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the beauty found in the subtle elements that shape our everyday experiences.

Extensive time spent in India further expanded my perspective, inspiring a deeper exploration of holistic living, mind-body connection, and the relationship between people and their environments. This journey led me to certifications in yoga instruction, in energy-based healing modalities, the study of traditional wellness systems and Feng Shui, all of which continue to inform my work today.

It was the renovation of our first family home that ultimately clarified the direction of my work.

We poured ourselves into transforming the house- investing countless hours and energy into creating a home that felt beautiful, authentic, and reflective of who we were. Despite our efforts, something felt out of sync. Certain aspects of life seemed stuck, particularly our health and overall sense of ease and wellbeing.

This experience sparked a deeper exploration into the relationship between our surroundings and how we live, feel, and function within them. Through further study and mentorship and the application of holistic design principles, I began making intentional changes to our environment. What started as subtle adjustments gradually led to meaningful shifts. Our home felt lighter and more supportive, daily life flowed more easily, and we experienced a renewed sense of balance, vitality, and joy.

That experience validated something I had long sensed throughout my career in design and wellness: our environments have a profound influence on our lives. When a space is thoughtfully designed and aligned with the people who inhabit it, it can become a powerful catalyst for wellbeing inside and out.

Drawing from these diverse influences, I work with clients to create homes and spaces that are not only beautiful and functional, but deeply supportive and aligned with how they want to live, feel, and thrive. My approach is holistic, integrating intentional design principles with a sensitivity to flow, balance, and the unique character of each individual and space.

What is Feng Shui?

Human life is connected to and flows with the environment around it.

Feng Shui explores our relationship to place. It is energy work for your physical space and a tangible way of working with Qi (life force energy) through design and the arrangement of objects in your environment. Feng Shui is what elevates the design of your environment from being a simple statement of your personal style to being an extension of and deep connection to all aspects of your life.

Your home tells an energetic story—a story of the history of the home and the land, combined with your personal story, which is always evolving. If you pay close attention to the details, your space has a lot of wisdom to share with you. Those details form a map that is your teacher. 

There are different schools of Feng shui—each with its own approach to creating balanced, harmonious energy in your physical environment to support your inner and outer well-being on all levels.

    “Sarah is a wildly talented designer, and her ability to create and recreate spaces in the most efficient, detail-oriented, and gorgeous ways is a sight to behold. Trained as a Feng Shui Professional in The School of Intention, she brings a depth of design genius to her work; her redesigns of spaces during Feng Shui consultations using what clients have on hand are as impressive as her full interior makeovers. I can’t recommend her work enough, and I look forward to seeing the show-stopping before and after pictures of your home!”

    “My husband and I had the great fortune of a redesign of our main sitting room by Sarah MacKenzie at Life Flow Design. Using her design skills and knowledge of Feng Shui, Sarah created a more harmonious, relaxing, and positive space.

    Afer a series of questions about our preferences and responsiveness to things like color, light, material, and sound, Sarah recommended changes that created more space, both literally and figuratively, resulting in a room we now spend more time in. Getting rid of clutter, opening spaces that allow energy to flow more freely, and balancing elements have transformed our room and our home. The room feels quieter and calmer and better positioned for connection with one another and our guests.

    I would highly recommend Sarah's services for those seeking healthier and happier spaces.”

    “My husband and I built a house and we were overwhelmed with how to transform it into a "home". We felt out of our realm. I happen to be a therapist in the energetic healing arts and study metaphysics for my personal progression. The therapy room for my healing practice is also located on the ground floor. So, it was important my "space" be more than just a home with attractive, soothing décor; I wanted it to reflect the principles that guide my life. I wanted the energy to flow so that when a person walked into our home, the energy was grounding and balanced. I discovered Sarah whose talents abound. Not only is she incredibly experienced with decor, fabrics, color, and textures… She was patient, thoughtful, and really listened to what my husband and I wanted. While respecting our needs, preferences, and intention, she proposed a fabulous layout following Feng Shui principles and presented comparative photos to transform words into visuals we could understand. She stayed within budget and recommended beautiful affordable pieces that truly fit our style. Our house now feels like a home and more! I would absolutely work with her again!”

    Sarah is a very talented designer- especially when it comes to textures and color.

    By answering the Elements Questionnaire that Sarah provided, she was able to guide me to the area of my life that could benefit from Feng Shui adjustments. Instantly, I knew her feedback to be true and we focused on self-care and the bedroom.

    I think my biggest surprise throughout the experience was how little actually needed to change and yet, how impactful those suggested changes were in transforming my space.‍ ‍

    Not only have the Feng Shui adjustments transformed my room from a design perspective, but I can feel the increased positive energy in the room… Along with a few other little touches, Sarah helped me make my bedroom my sanctuary.

    Thank you, Sarah!”

    We loved working with Sarah!

    Working with Sarah has remarkably transformed our home with immediate and lasting results.  When we moved into a new house that had been occupied by the same owners for decades, we needed help to shift the old, stuck energy and create a space that resonated with our family. Sarah’s in-depth process was intuitive and insightful. She gracefully and professionally managed to help us create a cohesive and harmonious home that my husband and I both feel reflects our unique personalities as well as our shared vision. No small task! I have worked with other designers before, and this was so different than just delegating the decisions and approach to someone else. Following Sarah’s custom Feng Shui process was an introspective journey that allowed me to uncover areas that needed to be addressed in a way that was profound, enlightening, and liberating. The results... simply stunning!  We now have a beautiful space that speaks to our design aesthetic and flows magnetically with a great sense of ease, comfort, inspiration, and energy. In particular, for the first time, since I’ve had children, I once again have a dedicated creative sanctuary (yes, a room all to myself!) that not only showcases years of collecting treasures, career achievements, and important family mementos but provides me with a retreat that soothes my soul.  We are so grateful to Sarah at Life Flow Design for her expert guidance and delicate navigation to set the intention for a joyful and productive family home.

    Sarah is a gifted healer. She is caring, perceptive and knowledgeable and has helped my family through some of the most intense health issues. It is her unique mix of knowledge of Eastern practices with her perceptive and caring nature that makes her so effective. Through Feng Shui philosophy and design, Sarah is offering the same level of expertise to the home as she does the body. She helped us redesign our bedroom to make it more welcoming and nurturing. Without judgment she viewed our room at its worst and made a few small, but impactful changes. I look forward to tackling the rest of my house with her help to make my home the sanctuary we strive for it to be.

    We honestly don't know where to begin because words hardly do justice to the transformation Sarah created in our home.

    We knew Sarah was talented, but we were completely unprepared for just how extraordinary her work would be. We are still amazed by how beautiful our home looks and, even more importantly, how incredible it feels. Every person who walks through our door comments on it, not just the design, but the energy of the space.

    We came to Sarah because something felt off in our home. On paper, everything looked fine, but the energy didn't feel right. Through her unique combination of feng shui and design expertise, she helped create spaces that feel balanced, harmonious, and supportive. The difference has been profound, not just in how our home looks, but in how we feel living in it every day.

    We initially hired Sarah to redesign our basement, creating a prohibition-style lounge for my husband and a yoga studio for me, while also providing recommendations for the rest of the house. Somehow, she blended two completely different styles and energies into something even better than we imagined. Her eye for color, flow, and detail is exceptional.

    The basement turned out so beautifully that we immediately asked her to help transform the rest of our home. Through thoughtful design choices-sometimes major, sometimes surprisingly simple- she completely changed how each space feels.

    One of the funniest parts of the process was watching my husband go from questioning whether we needed a designer to becoming Sarah's biggest fan. Not even halfway through the project, he was amazed by her vision and already planning which rooms she would tackle next. We constantly found ourselves saying, "How did she see that?" as her ideas came to life.

    What makes Sarah truly exceptional is that she combines remarkable design talent with a deep understanding of people and space. She is kind, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and deeply invested in her clients and her craft.

    Sarah doesn't just design beautiful spaces, she transforms how you experience your home. She helped create a home that feels peaceful, welcoming, and deeply nourishing to live in every day. Working with her was one of the best investments we have ever made, and we recommend her wholeheartedly.

  • Tulasol

    Working with Sarah to design the energy and layout of my wellness center, TULASOL Yoga & Wellness, was an incredible experience from start to finish. Her depth of knowledge in Feng Shui is truly impressive. What stood out most was her ability to translate my vision and intention into a physical space that feels harmonious, welcoming, and energetically aligned.

    Sarah took the time to understand exactly what I wanted the space to represent—balance, healing, calm, and renewal. She looked at every detail thoughtfully, from layout and flow to colors, materials, and the energetic placement of each room. Her recommendations were incredibly insightful and clearly backed by both expertise and experience. It never felt generic—everything was intentional and tailored specifically to my business and the energy I wanted people to feel when they walk through the doors.

    Because of her guidance, TULASOL feels exactly the way I envisioned it. The space flows beautifully, clients consistently comment on how peaceful and grounding it feels, and the overall environment perfectly supports the healing work we do here.

    Sarah is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and deeply intuitive about how to create spaces that truly support the people using them. If you are designing a home, office, or wellness space and want someone who understands both the practical and energetic aspects of design, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    I am beyond grateful for her expertise and the beautiful space she helped bring to life.
