eQuanimity-Lotus, Mount Vernon

Instead of inheriting her mother's tendency toward clutter, Eartha Hinds-Thomas learned from it. Since her mother saved everything, Eartha never assigned too much importance to any one item and, as an adult, she easily lets go of anything that has outlived its function in her home. As founder of eQuanimity-Lotus, Eartha brings her organizational skills into the homes of her clients.

Before setting to organizing, Eartha talks with homeowners about their specific problems and goals. Then she incorporates the tenants of feng shui to rearrange the home in a way that makes the best use of space and energy. Eartha not only organizes homes, but also stages houses for showings and prepares nurseries for new babies.
