PERSONAL shopping
As a leading voice in size inclusive styling with over a decade of experience, I bring together industry insight, garment expertise, and thoughtful curation to offer virtual shopping experiences. Every piece is hand-selected to reflect your personal style, sizing needs, and lifestyle; with fit, function, and feeling at the forefront. This is a high-touch shopping service rooted in care, strategy, and a deep understanding of what it means to get dressed in a body that has been often neglected by the fashion industry. Personal shopping is included within my comprehensive personal styling package, or can be booked as a standalone service on a case-by-case basis.
Before this experience, I hated shopping and getting dressed because my clothing did not make me feel good about myself. I had never used a service like this and was quite nervous that it would be an uncomfortable or unpleasant experience. I could not have been more wrong. Heensie made the entire experience feel like a conversation with a friend. There has been a profound transformation in my relationship with fashion and shopping, and more importantly, I feel good about my body for the first time in my life. For those of you who appreciate more quantifiable examples, let me tell you that the impact on my professional career has been undeniable. I honestly believe that it played a role in my recently achieving a promotion into a managerial role. After nearly 12 years in this industry, I am finally treated like a knowledgeable and respectable professional, all thanks to the improved confidence and more polished appearance my new wardrobe has provided.

I offer personal shopping as a highly specialized service, most often reserved for clients who have already gone through a comprehensive styling process with me.
This ensures that every recommendation is grounded in a deep understanding of your personal style identity, fit preferences, and lifestyle needs. That foundation allows me to shop not just for what looks good, but for what feels aligned—with your goals, your body, and your lived experience of getting dressed.
Note: For clients who already feel confident in their image direction, or for those seeking professional sourcing support for premium gifting or creative projects, I will take on personal shopping requests as a standalone service on a case-by-case basis.
All shopping is delivered through my private, state-of-the-art personal shopping platform—an exclusive tool available only to clients of professional stylists.
This tool allows me to build a custom digital shopping experience that’s easy to navigate and beautifully organized. Your platform includes thoughtfully selected options from size inclusive brands around the world, presented in your own curated digital storefront that reflects your style direction and needs.
At your request, I can ensure that any pieces recommended are sourced from brands local to you to avoid duties.
Every piece is chosen with purpose, so you can shop with clarity and confidence. I have shopped for clients across the sizing spectrum—from XXS to 8X.

Every personal shopping experience I offer is rooted in a deep consideration of your unique body, sizing needs, style, and life.
I shop from a wide range of size inclusive brands, and I stay up to date on which ones truly deliver on fit and quality. As an independent stylist, I am not beholden to any brand or designer. I am loyal to my clients and their needs.
Before I begin sourcing, I take time to understand your specific measurements, fit preferences, accessibility needs, and personal style goals. From there, I hand-select each piece with intention, so everything I recommend feels truly well aligned.
I also deeply understand that for many, shopping—or even just spending money on yourself—can bring up complicated feelings. There can be significant trauma around body image, shopping for clothing, and spending. I approach this process with gentleness, and strongly reject diet culture rhetoric or harmful style “rules.”
Instead, I focus on making the experience expressive, fun, and affirming—centred entirely on your needs, preferences, and comfort.

I take the time to ensure that I truly understand your needs and what you are looking for. In terms of personal shopping for a wardrobe, this underscores the importance of developing your style direction together before we dive into a shopping experience.
However, if something doesn’t resonate with you, I want to hear about it.
Shopping is deeply personal, and I recognize this. If you let me know that a selection isn’t quite right, I will happily reshop and refine your picks—at no extra charge.
This is a collaborative process, and your feedback is not only welcomed, it’s an essential part of getting it right. You’re not just receiving a list—you’re receiving a thoughtful, luxury shopping experience, and that includes ongoing support to make sure everything is well aligned.

My premium gifting service is designed for those who want to give something meaningful, stylish, and deeply considered—but don’t have the time or expertise to source it themselves.
Whether you're shopping for a client or a loved one, I curate elevated, memorable gifts that reflect thoughtfulness, the individuality of the recipient, and refined aesthetics.
With a background in styling, creative direction, and over a decade of experience in the fashion and lifestyle space, I bring a sharp editorial eye to every project. My work as a tastemaker has been featured in NYMag, ELLE Magazine, Insider, and more, and I bring that same level of polish and intention to each gift I source.
You'll receive a customized gift proposal complete with direct shoppable links—ranging from fashion and accessories to home goods, beauty, and art. I can also provide a visual guide to help you envision how the gift should be wrapped and presented, and I’m happy to source stationary, gift wrapping, and packaging online for you to order.
For clients located in Toronto, I offer in-person luxury gifting support on a case-by-case basis.
And while many gifting services stop at aesthetics, I go a step further. If you're shopping for someone who is plus sized, disabled, gender non-conforming, or lives in a marginalized body, I ensure that your gift is not only beautiful and thoughtful, but inclusive, affirming and size conscious.
From watch bands to rings, bracelets, robes, and beyond, there are many factors to take into consideration—and I account for the nuances of size and fit so that nothing feels unintentionally alienating.
It can be hard to shop for someone whose body or needs are different from your own, especially when you want the gift to feel personal, well-executed and seamless. That’s where I come in.
My expertise in both art direction and inclusive styling ensures your gift hits the mark—beautifully, respectfully, and with care.

I operate virtually all across the globe, with just a few exceptions due to billing considerations.
I regularly work with clients across all North American time zones, and am able to bill in USD or CAD.
If I am the best fit for your needs, and you're based in Europe, Asia, Australia, or another distant time zone from where I am based—we can still work together through asynchronous support. Please contact me directly for more information.

A personal shopping experience is included in my comprehensive personal styling package.
When booked on its own, pricing can range from $1,100 to $5,000 or more. Single item sourcing is also available at a lower rate. I understand that is a wide range, which is why I encourage you to get in touch directly. Each project is unique and will require a custom quote based on the depth of your needs. Once I have a few details from you, I can provide a tailored quote within 24 hours.
You will also want to consider your personal budget for clothing. This is something we can discuss and plan together.
