What is Holistic Interior Design?

Holistic Interior Design is a way of creating living and working spaces which both look and feel good but also nourish and energise the people living and using the space at a deep soul level. There is an ease with homes and offices worked in this way, we feel relaxed and comfortable when we are in them, everything feels to be in harmony.

As a Holistically focussed designer I look at the best energetic flow of energy in a space. I work with Feng Shui....... the Art of energy and placement, choosing the natural form for layout that enables a good supporting place for seating, sleeping, working and successful storage solutions etc. I look at the best wood and natural finishes for furniture and soft furnishings and also lighting plans. Colour and paint quality also form a major part of my consideration to ensure that the maximum chi is available to optimize the energy and wellbeing of the client.

How could that help you?

When we feel relaxed in a place our energy fields can expand and be recharged. This enables us to be more effective in our work, more content in our rest and more available for fun in our play.

'A goldfish is only as healthy as the quality of the water it is swimming in' Master Choa Kok Sui

For many of us that is not how our homes feel and therefore our personal energy fields can't relax and expand...........our energy fields stay in contraction because at some level we are just not at ease in our own homes. When our energy fields stay in contraction over a period of time our immune systems become challenged as the flow of vital chi or life force available for our good health and sense of connection in life is diminished and a result we can get sick.

Do you feel 'at home' in your home?

The feel of a house is made up of many things, all or any of which can have an effect on our wellbeing..........Have you noticed a significant change in your health, relationships or finances since you moved in to your home?

What is a House Whisperer?....behind every door there is story of peoples life and lives......

A House Whisperer is an Environmental Psychologist........someone who is able to 'read' the 'story' of a house on entering. 'What does this space tell me about the person living here and their connection to the 'story' of the house?' In my experience of well over a hundred consultations for clients with a 'problem' there is always a reason why they have ended up living where they do. There is something that feels 'familiar' which is why they knew that this was THE house for them.............. but that 'familiarity' is not always good and can result in long term low energy or serious health issues, broken relationships or financial disaster.

Sometimes it is Geopathic stress which is the cause of the problem. This can be connected to the placement of the house, whether it is on an earth grid or another form of energy line (sometimes caused by underground water streams) which is creating an energy vortex or influencing the space.....this can be dowsed for and brought into harmony once the nature of the imbalance or geopathic stress is identified.

Clearing predecessor energy and other unhelpful energies

The knowledge of cleansing rituals in our living spaces was known and active in all ancient peoples and religions of the world. Our pull to 'spring cleaning' to clear away the cobwebs of the winter and allow space for the new energy to come in is common to many cultures. From the Ancient Celts cleansing and purification rituals to the Goddess Brigid at the spring festival Imbolc, the Persians scrupulously cleaned everything in their houses in time for the first day of spring, to the Jewish rituals prior to the Passover Feast. Within the Chinese culture the entire house was cleaned before New Year, no cleaning to take place on New Years Day for fear that good fortune would be swept away. House clearing in Japan was seen as 'The dirt this year - In the year' ie clean for a fesh start for a New Year.

Space Clearing also addresses something known as 'predecessor energy', that a house will hold the memory and energy of all that has gone on within its walls prior to our moving in. Happy vibes are good but if there has been sickness, divorce, bankruptcy, violence or unhappiness these are not so helpful!!. The house will also hold what is and has been happening in our own lives for instance we know when we walk into a space when someone has had an argument...we say' you could cut the air with a knife' or 'the air was blue'. This and other events will 'solidify' in a space making it feel restless, stuck and uncomfortable to be in, out of balance and compromising our positive energy.

Its a lot more difficult to be able to see what is happening in our own spaces as it is our own 'stuff' and issues. This is where it is helpful to have someone else to work with on the clearing and this is a fundamental part of an Interior Alchemy consultation. Clear space enables any Feng Shui or design enhancement to be more powerful.

When to clear?

*When you move into a new house

*After significant changes to your circumstances eg: marriage, divorce, birth of a child, bankrupcy, new job or business

*If someone has been in poor health in the house

*If you are feeling stuck and unable to move forward

*if there are spaces in your home you just don't feel comfortable in.

*If you want to sell your home and it is not attracting buyers.
