Interior + Psychology = Wellbeing
So what does psychology have to do with it? My home is my sanctuary, my shrine and I am very meticulous about the things I choose to design and surround myself with. I have lived in different cities, across the pond in the US and currently reside in the UK. Regardless of the size or location of the place I have lived in, it has always been important for me to feel good when I walk through the front door. “Does your home rise up to meet you?’ I heard Oprah say on her show which resonated with me so much s0 I started paying attention to how my home made me and my family feel.
I have lived in nice places. I’m a organised person, I like to keep my space clean, I’m a everything has a place kinda of girl. However, it wasn’t until I started to create an environment that I wanted to walk in; one that made me feel calm, where my heart would rise and feel warm did I realise the importance of interior wellness for my emotional wellbeing.
So in early 2017 I started Abode Remedy with a mission to empower others to create their ideal space, one that improves the home environment opening the space to thrive. It’s a great feeling when you walk through your front door and love the space that represents you, your own slice of sanctuary. I believe everyone should experience this and can achieve it, no matter the size or space you live in because your home should welcome you.
I knew I had it in me to do so much more and make a difference. I knew I could take my passion for Wellness and Design to the next chapter.
“My Journey so far”
From early childhood I always knew that I wanted something bigger than my circumstances. I envisioned what I wanted my life to look like and was determined to achieve it! After completing my Masters in Psychology, I came to a crossroad on what my next career move should be. Continue with my studies in psychology or follow this burning desire to pursue a career in wellbeing and mindfulness? I was tempted to explore becoming a psychologist, but the passion I felt for wellness, empowering others to create their ideal environment, encouraging others to live their best life was all I could think about.
“ Yes I love to Wear Different Hats”
No seriously I do. I love my many different hats, I’m a wife, a mum to two energetic rambunctious boys, a life coach, a mental health activist, an interior wellness enthusiast with an addiction to antique flea markets and up-cycled furniture, and an experienced property developer, phew there you go! I love to keep myself busy although, I DO make sure to take time out and look after myself!! My travels and perspective of the world has encouraged me to continue on this journey. My journey doesn’t end here, I still have a lot of things that I would like to achieve. Plans I have put on ‘ice’ as I like to call it until the right moment for me comes and I am fully present to receive it.
