The Story of Santamita: Where Life Design Meets Lifestyle Transformation 

Santamita began with a simple idea: the spaces we live in are a reflection of the lives we lead. 

What started as a small interior design and home décor shop in a coastal town just north of Puerto Vallarta, has grown into a lifestyle brand that blends life design, intentional living, and holistic transformation.  

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Originally called 2 Birds in Paradise, our shop welcomed people looking for colors, furniture, or décor. But as we listened, deeper stories emerged. Clients weren’t just searching for the right sofa or paint shade — they were seeking spaces that felt aligned with their values, lifestyle, and dreams. 

That realization became the bridge between interior design and life coaching, and ultimately, the foundation for Santamita.

Working side by side had always been a dream of ours. 

  • Tracey brings decades of experience guiding individuals and corporations through complex challenges. 

  • Lauren brings creative vision and established interior design expertise. 

Together, we discovered a unique blend of strengths that gave birth to Santamita, inspiring Tracey to come out of retirement so we could build this business together. 


FROM 2 BIRDS IN PARADISE TO SANTAMITA

We’ve been asked by people what does Santamita mean. The answer is our name reflects two places that deeply inspire us:

Punta Mita, Mexico — a coastal paradise known for understated luxury, West Coast architecture, and cultural richness.

Santa Fe, New Mexico — celebrated for its desert beauty, Native influences, art scene, and architectural traditions.

Though geographically different, both embody culture, art, nature, and intentional living — all woven into Santamita’s philosophy and design aesthetic.
