Western Sensibility x The Oasis Alliance
Our collaboration with Western Sensibility, a like-minded woman-owned business, goes beyond a mere partnership. It's a shared dream where creativity meets purpose, where financial stability is intertwined with making a social impact. Western Sensibility has been an unwavering partner for the past year, gently guiding and supporting along the way to help us in this first endeavor to bring our art to market through surface design. By commercializing our unique decor line, Western Sensibility is helping us take a bold step towards mitigating the risk that comes with the sometimes-unpredictable world of philanthropy.
— Danielle Woodhouse Johnson, Founder The Oasis Alliance
“We are beyond proud to be working with The Oasis Alliance to champion their mission that everyone deserves a peaceful and harmonious space to call home.”
— Leana Becker, CCO Western Sensibility

ABOUT THE OASIS ALLIANCE
Mission
The Oasis Alliance (OA) brightens the lives of trauma survivors by co-designing personalized spaces that encourage and support recovery, growth, and mental well-being. Most people believe that interior design is a luxury. We believe that interior design is an underutilized tool to empower, encourage and resurrect people at their lowest point. When we live in personalized spaces that affirm our humanity, we feel important—a major first step in moving past trauma and loss.
Vision
The Oasis Alliance envisions a world where every trauma survivor has a dignified place of refuge to refuel and recharge.
Story
In July 2018, The Oasis Alliance formed as a non-profit in the state of Virginia and received 501(c)3 tax-exemption status by the IRS. Three Washington, D.C. area interior design professionals began applying their passion and skills to transform living spaces into a refuge for healing in the Northern Virginia, District of Columbia and Maryland communities. They collected quality and gently used furniture, décor, and household items from the generosity of community business leaders, churches, and individuals.
The first installation was for a single parent and child who were survivors of domestic violence and transitioning from a shelter to a home of their own. OA designers curated a personalized living space, which gave them peace of mind and encouragement.
The family attributed much of their success in healing to the services and care that was provided to them by The Oasis Alliance just a few years ago.
We’ve completed 70+ room designs; from studio basement apartments, townhomes, single family homes, multiple room shelters, and commercial properties all across the District - Maryland - Virginia area. We graciously have received local recognition, acknowledgments, and awards for our work.
