the curate method

Every Chataigne client whether she's with me for 90 days or a lifetime  moves through the same
six movements. 

What changes across tiers is the pace, the depth, and how many times we move through the cycle together.

C — Clarify Get honest about who you were, and who you're becoming
U — Uncover Reveal the person underneath the roles, the routines and your public image
R — Release Let go of what belongs to who you used to be  in your closet, and in your head.
A — Architect Build the wardrobe and the image of the woman you're stepping into.
T —
Transform The inside-out shift becomes real. Mindset first. The mirror confirms it.
E —
Emerge Step into your next chapter, fully visible, fully yourself.
