Get a written plan to set up your home around your body... now, later, and if things change

A 1-on-1 video walkthrough for people living with chronic illness, disability, pain, fatigue, or changing mobility.

On days your body can do less, your home should be able to do more.

What you get

• A 75-minute video walkthrough call. You show me your rooms on your phone. I ask what a checklist never would: how things work, and don't work, on a flare day, what you've adapted around, what you want to keep doing.
• A written plan within 3 business days, sorted into:
  • Now - free or near-free changes and the things worth doing first
  • Later - bigger ideas worth planning and budgeting for
  • If things change - so today's choices don't box you in tomorrow
• Your questions list for your contractor, landlord, handyman, or realtor, so you go in with clear priorities. Plus questions to ask your doctors, your support group, or even your AI about what to expect with a new or existing diagnosis... so you know who to ask what. (I'm not a doctor or health professional. These are questions to ask them, not medical advice.)
• One follow-up email within 30 days, for the questions that show up after the call.

How it works

1. Book your spot and pick a time.
2. You show me the room (or rooms) on your phone. Please don't clean first. It's important to see how your room functions, and doesn't, to better understand your needs and options. This is 100% judgment free.
3. Within 3 business days, you get your written plan: now, later, and if things change.
4. One follow-up email within 30 days, for the questions that show up after the call.

Who it's for

• You were just diagnosed and no one has said a word about your home. You may not realize yet how much your current space won't work for you much longer... and you don't yet know what your needs could look like in a year, or what to ask.
• You're moving into a new place with a disability you already live with and want to set it up around how you actually move, rest, and work... before you spend money.
• You rent, or you're only staying a while. You need changes that help now and can come back out, or won't hurt the sale later.
• You already have a contractor, bids, or plans and want another set of eyes to check whether your real needs were part of the conversation.

A builder's ADA checklist can tell you what is "right" on paper. It can't tell you what is right for your life. That's what we figure out together.

When I was 17, a neighbor paid a contractor to build him a ramp. It was built "right", directly from an official ADA checklist... but it was completely wrong for the person who needed and paid for it. Years later, after living with chronic pain, cancer, autoimmune illness, and physical needs that can change from one day (or hour) to another, I recognize the same problem everywhere. My husband and I have done the work ourselves, hands-on, in real homes. - Tamera Stewart

Proof: how this works in a real home

A kitchen for "now" and "later"

A client had just received a diagnosis that would affect how she moves, and they knew they'd be selling. My husband and I did the work ourselves.

• We built a custom height bar just before the sink side counter. It had a place she could slide a chair in now, or a wheelchair in later, and still knead her breads.
• We made her mixer a garage, so it slid easily into place but also lived inside the bottom of the cabinet when not needed. She didn't have to lift or pull.
• The sink was chosen to be more helpful, instead of white porcelain that had to be constantly scrubbed, and the faucet was easy for her hands.
• We lowered the cabinets by removing some toe kick. Where we could, we kept the old boxes that made the cabinets taller, so they could go back in.
• The cabinet boxes only go back in with plainly marked lag bolts. That way they can be undone, lifted evenly with a few floor jacks, and the toe kick boxes put back in.

The kitchen went from drab to modern. Because the changes were reversible, their realtor said they added many times their cost in value... and were what sold the home.

• Now: a place to slide a chair in and still knead her breads, and a mixer she didn't have to lift or pull
• Later: room for a wheelchair at the same bar
• If things change: cabinets that can be lifted and the toe kick boxes put back in, for the sale

A bench built for one person

A tailgate bench for a man in a wheelchair. The arms are strong enough to let him lift himself in, and the seat and back height were customized to him.
