True North Living

The Alchemy of Aesthetics

Create a Life That Reflects Your True Essence

Hi, I’m Jolene Dames, Artist, Alchemist, and Founder of Made by Dames™.

For over 25 years, I worked behind the scenes in Hollywood, crafting immersive environments that brought stories to life. But beyond the film sets, I discovered something deeper: the stories we live are shaped by the spaces we inhabit and the inner landscapes we nurture.

Through True North Living: The Alchemy of Aesthetics, I guide individuals in crafting meaningful lives by aligning their inner and outer worlds. By fusing art, psychology, and transformation, I help you reconnect with your creative force and intentionally design a life that reflects your truth.

True North Living: Design Your Life

Align Your Energy with Your Environment

Your home, your surroundings, and even the way you move through the world are expressions of your inner truth. If you feel lost, disconnected, or like something is missing, the solution isn’t just about changing your space—it’s about recalibrating your entire life to align with who you truly are.

Through this work, you will:

Create meaningful spaces that foster growth, purpose, and authenticity.
Transform both your mindset and your external environment to support your highest vision.
Explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings.
Establish daily practices that enhance balance, clarity, and self-expression.
Cultivate a home and lifestyle that feel like an extension of your truest self.

A Holistic Approach to the Art of Living

I bring together expertise in:

Art & Design – Understanding how aesthetics influence energy and emotion.
Psychology & Neuroaesthetics – Exploring the subconscious impact of space and color.
Intuitive Transformation – Using Feng Shui, Therapeutic Art, and Life Coaching to shift both mindset and environment.
Spiritual Alchemy – Bridging ancient wisdom and modern design to create spaces that feel like home for your soul.

Through personalized guidance, immersive design experiences, and curated tools, I help you craft a life that is not just beautiful—but deeply aligned with your purpose and truth.

My Journey: From Chaos to Clarity

I know what it means to feel lost. Growing up, I moved over 20 times, constantly reshaping myself to fit new surroundings. Then, at 40, the sudden loss of my husband forced me to completely redefine my path.

I realized that transformation isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about uncovering the truth that has always been within you. Just as I once designed movie sets to align with a story’s essence, I now help people align their inner and outer worlds to create meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Let’s work together.

If you’re ready to create a space—and a life—that feels like a true reflection of YOU, let’s embark on this journey together. Whether through custom art, personal consultations, or holistic design, I offer tailored pathways to clarity, inspiration, and self-trust.
