Sacred Space

Ecological Design

Edible Landscapes

 

Welcome

It is our deepest blessing to be honored with the stewardship of our lands.  

At Helia Land Design, we believe in aligning with the ancient rhythms of nature, creating a place where the mundane becomes sacred and the simple and grand ceremonies of life emerge effortlessly. Bringing your land and home back into resonance by harmonizing your environment, we help you invite beauty, inspiration, connection and a deep sense of calm into your space- and into your life.

With decades of expertise as a full service landcare firm, we design and implement projects that range from the intimate to the bold. Our diverse skills are complimented by our ability to interface with conservation commissions, architects and engineers.

Our design process starts with the soil, the wind, the sun and the greater geographical context. These biological features are woven with the client’s needs and aesthetic choices. We create landscapes that are personal, ecologically intact and that speak to the surroundings, history and the culture of the region.

 
 
 

Our Promise

Ancestry echoes throughout our ethos at Helia. As a family run operation, we are committed to creating landscapes that are personal, ecologically intact and that speak to the innate surroundings, history and the culture of the region.

testimonials

I rarely write testimonials but I make an exception here because Bridghe McCracken is, truth be told, an exceptional person.

She has a radar-like precision ability to tune into what is really the true essence of a space and the rare gift of being able to restore that space to its original sacred blueprint or even better.

As I search my mind for the right words to describe her work, I sit by the banks of the little river house Bridghe worked on for me, before I moved in. Thanks to her sensitivity, deep perceptiveness and her skill in clearing away the old to let the space sing it’s true song, my land is happy. And so am I.

Bridghe also did her magic at our lake house in Guatemala. It was a piece of land in great need of assistance. Centuries old layers of accumulated heavy, disturbing energy. It was a Herculean task I felt I could entrust to only Bridghe. She took up the challenge with her usual humility and trust in the process. It was a challenge! It required a level of understanding of the world of energy in all its layers. The Peruvians and Guatemalans call such people “Masters of energy”. That is the level Bridghe operates from. I could not recommend anyone more wise and more skilled in working with land and the dwellings that share the land. It is with gratitude that I recommend her.
