+ some cleaning - always needed! C'est la vie ;-)
+ sorting out a variety of things to be cleaned and packed, given away or sold,
+ do some DIY building and repair works and some gardening and yard work for 2 places: one is a nice and comfortable home where you will stay most of the time, and another is going to be a non-profit multi-purpose holistic retreat center that is currently being used as a storage space and needs lots of repairs (ongoing).
And we will be more than happy to provide:
1. Access to the entire Ground Floor of a Semi Detached Home w/ a front porch a side and back Yard in a safe and quiet neighborhood, 7-min drive to a Mall, 10-min drive to the City Center, and a 5-minute walk to a Grocery store, a Cafe and local food shops.
- a simple, clean and comfortable Master Bedroom w/ En suite Toilet and Shower, fan + AC for up to 3 people.
- Kitchen with cooking appliances, pots and utensils.
- Laundry area with a washing machine.

- a cozy Consultation Room / Office for 1:1 private session (available by request for agreed specific use cases)

- plus if we are in KK, we'd love to share with you about the local culture and our respective culture (as we are multi-nationals), expressive arts therapy activities like dance, drum, pastel art, somatic movements, yoga lifestyle, "Kelulut" stingless bee farming, and more! :)
