LIOBA STEINKAMP

I was born in Germany (1972) and moved to The Netherlands in 1998 to study contemporary art, film and interior design at the AKI , later completing my master degree at the Rietveld Academy (Sandberg Institute) in Amsterdam. 

Travel and years spent living in Australia and the US drew me deeper into psychology and healing. I now live and work mainly in Arnhem, the Netherlands. My ongoing interest is integrating these different disciplines into what I call Inner Space Design: reading a home and a person as two expressions of the same underlying pattern.

I studied with international Feng Shui teachers including Karen Kingston, at the DFSI Institute in Germany and the Dirah Institute in the Netherlands, and opened my own consultancy, Balancing Walls, in 2005. Since 2012 I've studied classical homeopathy with Misha Norland at the School of Homeopathy, to deepen my understanding of the human condition and the psychology of dis-ease. Classical homeopathy and the Sensation method have become integral to how I understand the relationship between people and their homes, our "third skin."

The atmospheres of houses intrigue me specifically and gave food for my vivid imagination. Similar to the personality of a human being I can sense the personality a house and its relationship to its inhabitants. Each house has its own character and atmosphere that is influenced by its owner and vice versa.

My passion is to make contact with the "soul" of a house, listening to the residents and get a picture of the special relationship between the inhabitants and their home. Most atmospheres can be greatly improved by a few alterations. It's my job to help you find out what is what and make the best possible choices.

Alongside Balancing Walls, I also work as a classical homeopath at Insight Homeopathy, and write about the connection between space, body, and wellbeing at Internal Cartography.
