Workshops and Design Services to improve the indoor environment and enhance the healing process for patient, pets, caregivers & professionals!
Whether a persin is recovering from an illness or an injury, or just trying to cope with nuances of everyday life, the surrounding environment can have a profound impact. Color, space planning, furniture choices, hardware/accessory choices and placement, paint, flooring and textiles can all affect patient health, and the health of their caregivers in the clinician's office. Applying Integrative Lifestyle Design principles can make a difference to those facing challenges such as ADD/ADHD, stress, anxiety, headaches, fatigue, allergies, asthma and visual impairment.
Did you know:
Paint colors can affect sleep, heart rate, blood pressure and concentration?
Indoor environments can have levels of pollutants that are higher than levels found outside?
Indoor Air Quality can impact the health, comfort, well-being and productivity of the building's occupants?
Odors and chemical vapors from cleaning supplies, paint, carpeting, paneling and furniture are emitted as gasses called volatile organic compounds (VOC)? (The VOCs in paint can off-gass up to 18 months and capeting can off-gass up to 5 years after installation!).
Proper space planning can help those with ADD/ADHD and make spaces comfortable, safe and accessible for all, regardless of age, height or ability?

Healthy Bedroom Design (Adults and/or Teens)-This workshop focuses on the importance of a "healthy" bedroom to promote a good night's sleep, reduce stress/anxiety and make this all important room WORK for the occupant.

Learn the importance of paint and flooring choices, the importance of picking out natural bedding/mattresses and the impact of space-planning or "zoning" of the space to create a healthy space.
