Offline Healing

We're doing a site for a healer at the moment. None of your fluffy cloud-like imagery for this talented lady. The site is going to be far superior to all that. In fact, everyone was struggling to find 'sites we like' in order to complete the design brief. No, when it comes to healing sites, there's a whole lot of awful design and waffle out there!
Working with a healer is a very different experience to working with some of our regular clients - a business owner, a corporate executive, or a consultant for example. Things tend to follow a pattern. We have meetings. If it's a large organisation, then a meeting note follows. Project plans are agreed upon. To-do lists sorted, each party aware of what is required of them.
With this healer, we had a meeting to discuss content and she had lots of inspiring objects that she wanted to share with us. Like the tapestry of one of the Indian Gods or the drawings and cut-outs. We have the tapestry hanging in the office now, directly in front of Heidi's eyes, so that 'whenever she looks up, she sees the Goddess of success.' Unfortunately we couldn't take all of the other items on board because they weren't in jpeg or similar format.
It's gas. I've never had to pass up something before because it's cloth! Normally it's something that is too low res, or not clear enough quality!
