WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Cinthia’s writing changed the way I understand my home. As I read this book, I started paying more attention to why I'm drawn to certain parts of my home and others not so much. She invites the reader to examine their own relationship to the spaces in their homes, not just as physical spaces but as places that embody energy and emotional history. Her writing is engaging, smart, funny, and super practical. I walked away fascinated and also inspired to transform my own home. She makes clear the connection between our physical surroundings and the emotional weight they carry. A great read!”
—Abby Skrivan
“Houses Are Snitches felt like it shared a secret map for understanding my family’s living space, along with the motivation and inspiration to make meaningful changes. I love how it opens multiple pathways for understanding—through physical space, connections to our body systems, and the spiritual dimensions.
Cinthia Varkevisser weaves together stories of humor and possibility, revealing the history of homes and places, and the potential for transformation even in the most stubborn, hard-to-shift corners of homes.”
—EA
“The times we live in now are chaotic and ever-changing. Our homes and the energy we put out and surround ourselves with are some of the few areas where we can have some modicum of control. This book is a wonderful resource for people and realtors planning to sell and buy homes, but it’s also a guide to looking at your own home and how the energy circulates within it in new ways. I came away with a new appreciation for how my living space supports my lived experience, and also how I can be more mindful about the energy I put out and leave behind. As a consultant, I move frequently, and I’ll refer to this book every time.”
