Intentional environments for wellbeing and connection.
Your space is always speaking
There is a constant dialogue between your inner world and the spaces you inhabit. Nama Spaces brings awareness to that exchange, using conscious design to create meaningful change, in your space, and in you.
Nama Spaces is rooted in three fundamental truths and the foundational principles of feng shui.
Your environment and your inner world are always in conversation.
Your outer world reflects your internal state. Your internal state manifests through the spaces you inhabit.
When you understand this, you inhabit your space differently. You begin to use it as the powerful tool it is. That is the work.
Your space is not a backdrop. It is a participant. Every object, every room, every threshold holds energy and communicates something.
Everything is alive.
Energy is never fixed. A stuck space can shift. A heavy room can breathe again. Transformation is not just possible. It is always available.
Everything is always changing.
Your inner world and your outer space are not separate. What happens in one is always reflected in the other.
Everything is connected.
Nama.
Sanskrit · to bow down in reverence, to something greater than yourself.
Persian · to reveal, to show, the face of a building or space
Japanese · alive, fully present, raw and unprocessed.
I’m Aza and I created Nama Spaces as an integrated practice bringing together the built environment, conscious design, and the wisdom traditions of yoga and feng shui.
I bring over two decades of experience designing human-centered experiences and environments for organizations around the world. With a background in architecture, experience design, and service design, I have helped organizations understand people more deeply and create systems, services, and spaces that genuinely support human needs.
My lifelong study of yoga, meditation, and feng shui brings another dimension to this work — exploring how environments influence our sense of wellbeing, connection, and belonging.
I hold an architecture degree from Cornell University, a certificate in Interior Design from the Interior Design Institute, and a Feng Shui practitioner certification from the Western School of Feng Shui. I have spent over two decades working across industries with organizations large and small, helping them design environments and systems that genuinely serve the people inside them.
My inner work runs just as deep. I have maintained a dedicated spiritual and yoga practice for decades, including Hatha yoga, meditation, pranayama, and kriya practices of Isha Yoga, where I also volunteer. I hold a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate and a 50-hour Ashtanga Yoga certificate, and have studied with spiritual teachers across the globe, including Diana Christinson, Karen Kingston, and the Clairvision School of Meditation.

FAQ’s
-
A consultation begins with understanding you—what is happening in your life, what you want to shift, and what you want your space to support. I then read the space through the principles of Feng Shui, looking at the flow of energy, the relationship between rooms and life areas, and what may be supporting or obstructing that flow.
We walk through the space together, and I share what I see, including what is already working well. From there, I offer practical recommendations for changes that can help bring your environment into greater alignment with your intentions. You leave with a clearer understanding of your space and concrete ways to work with it.
-
I look at your space through several lenses. Feng Shui provides a framework for understanding the flow and energetic relationships within the space, while my background in architecture and design brings attention to how the physical environment functions, feels, and communicates.
I also consider you—your circumstances, intentions, and relationship to the space. The goal isn't to impose a formula onto your home. It's to understand what your particular space is communicating and identify where a shift may be supportive.
-
Not necessarily. Sometimes the most meaningful shifts are surprisingly simple: moving an object, changing the placement of furniture, clearing something that has been sitting untouched, or bringing intention to an area of your home.
I will make recommendations based on what I see, but you decide what feels right for you. The goal isn't to transform your home for the sake of transformation. It's to make thoughtful changes that support the life you're creating.
-
Our environments often hold the stories of where we've been, and sometimes they need to change as we do. Rooms we avoid, belongings we keep long after they serve us, unfinished projects, or spaces that no longer reflect who we are can all become part of feeling stuck.
A new home, a new relationship, a loss, a career change, or simply the feeling that you're ready for something different can be a powerful time to reconsider your space. We can look at what your environment is carrying, what no longer belongs, and what you want your space to support now.
Working with your environment won't solve everything happening in your life, but it can create an opening for change. Feng Shui offers a way to notice where energy may feel stagnant and explore what might help it move again.
-
That's okay. A consultation is an invitation, not a set of rules.
Some recommendations may immediately make sense. Others may challenge you or take time to consider. I will explain what I'm seeing and why I'm making the recommendation, then give you the space to decide what feels right.
Your home is yours. The most meaningful changes are the ones you ultimately choose for yourself.
-
You decide what you want to do with what you've learned.
Some clients make a few simple changes themselves and notice an immediate difference. Others want support working through recommendations over time. You can also return for coaching, space clearing, decluttering, organization, or interior design support as needed.
The consultation isn't about giving you a list of things to buy or a set of rules to follow. It's about giving you a new way of seeing your space—and the clarity to decide what you want to change.
-
No. You don't need to adopt a particular belief system to explore your relationship with your environment.
Feng Shui offers a way of observing space and understanding the relationship between the physical environment and the people within it. Some people experience the work energetically; others connect more with the practical, psychological, or symbolic aspects of it. You can come with curiosity rather than certainty.
My role is not to convince you of anything. It's to help you see your space differently and explore what becomes possible when you bring greater intention to it.
