CLIENT TESTIMONIAL - Y & M
Y & M (Ehime, Japan)
After postponing it for a long time with many excuses, we finally decided to work on our bedroom.
Before starting, I was struggling with health issues, poor sleep, low energy, and anxiety, all feelings that made me feel truly burdened.
My husband was also under immense pressure, dealing with high stress at work due to his commission-based role, and not seeing the results he expected despite working so hard. We began this project hoping to transform our 'stuck' energy into a more positive flow, although we were admittedly a little skeptical at first.
HOME BEFORE
Messy Bedroom
Messy Bedroom
Because I was so determined to make changes, they came to me very quickly.
I already knew what was unnecessary in the bedroom, but I just couldn't let it go. Once I was truly committed, however, I did not hesitate to throw things away. We decluttered more than 20 forty-five-liter bags; it was almost like a midnight disappearing act! While I felt sad and guilty about just throwing things away, I enjoyed taking them to thrift shops to sell instead.
On the other hand, my husband was very indecisive and tried to hold onto things, which made the project difficult. However, once I realized he listened to Ai very well, I often told him, "This is what AI said..." and it worked wonders! Since then, he has made a drastic change. Surprisingly, the very next day after AI gave us the final task, he moved all the furniture in the bedroom by himself. It was amazing to see his positive transformation while the bedroom was being completely overhauled. My husband even said, "I have been getting great results recently! I have no idea why, but even the most difficult clients are giving me good responses." At first, I thought he was joking, but I was so happy to find out it was true.

PROJECT COMPLETION
Now that our formerly cluttered bedroom is tidy and clean, we felt so comfortable; however, the clutter in the other rooms had started to bother us! Currently, I share a mattress with my husband and 3-year-old son, but Ai suggested we switch to a traditional Japanese futon style to save space in this small room. Once we get rid of this mattress on recycling day, we can finally finish this project. I am really looking forward to sleeping on a futon, which I haven't done in a long time.
Although I still feel mentally unstable sometimes, my physical health is definitely getting better and better. My menstrual cycle has returned to normal, and I can sleep soundly through the night without waking up. Even my son, who used to have a hard time waking up, gets out of bed very easily now. Funnily enough, he actually likes staying in the bedroom now. I think it is because it has become such a comfortable space.
Throughout this project, some of my husband's long and unresolved issues surfaced, but I am hopeful as he has just started taking care of them. Now, we are ready to move forward to the next project: the entrance area! Stay tuned.
