When you go to the most fantabulous Cultural wedding Park in Harrogate and get distracted by all the amazing toilets!

This time 16 years ago, my gorgeous, miracle baby came into this world, early but perfect! 👶 🌍 🩵
After being told that with my arthritis I would never have children and that if I tried to carry a baby, the best outcome would be that I’d end up in a wheelchair….if I’m lucky! 🥲
This journey had its dark times, challenges, excruciating pain and without the help of the love I felt growing in my heart and stomach, I would have given up…..Love fuels us in our dark days! 💖✨🖤
Today my beautiful boy turns 16 and gets his GCSE results.
Each and every day I feel so lucky and privileged to have him here to brighten my life, share in my mischief and be one of my biggest driving forces, my mini me (at nearly 6ft tall) 😂🥳
Today is a celebration of those people in your life that you can’t live without, who is your person?
Remind them of just how much they mean to you, as life is precious ⭐️⭐️⭐️

What is the key to life?…I know, bold question-is there really an answer? 🧐👀🙋♀️✨
"Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy." - Sai Baba ✨✨✨✨
Love, nurturing and healing really does make the world go round 💖✨💥
As an educator, I truly loved my students and the subjects I taught and not only did they know it, but I made sure that they felt it too! 🥰
Educating from the mind AND heart is so important. 🧠💖
Educating is about creating community, closely linked to environment as it creates a safe, nurturing space to express yourself, take risks, build resilience and grow. 🌱💚
This meant that no one was ever left behind, each student achieved above and beyond expectation.
I still love when they call or message me with their latest achievements…it feeds my soul, even though some are now in their 20’s or 30’s!…jeeez I feel old! 😂💛✨
Education and learning still underpins everything that I do and creating nurturing environments whatever sector they’re used within keeps me forging forward.
I truly 😍😍😍😍😍

When I’m not taking super exciting toilet selfies, what does an environmental psychologist and designer actually do? 🧠🧐✨🤯
Complex question as it’s multifaceted buuuuuut, 80% of how you think, feel and behave within an environment comes from your subconcious mind 👀 🕰️🧠
So basically ‘I deal in the feels’!
I use the theory of,
💚Psychology,
💛Neurology,
🩵Biology (and genetics)
🩷Behavioural science,
🧡Behavioural evolutionary theory,
💙Sociology……
To holistically design Psychologically and Trauma influenced environments, scaffolded by the underpinning theory to ensure that the space ‘feels’ right.
After all,
💥You buy a house because it ‘feels’ right,
💥You open up to a counsellor because you ‘feel’ safe,
💥You stay in a job and work hard because you ‘feel’ appreciated.
I also do workshops to help others understand what we need in our environments to improve behaviours, create a ‘healthy’ interior, filled with love and community to foster growth 💚🌱
If you want to in your school, college, care home, office, therapy rooms or home.

I don’t feel this needs much explaining but I love a bit of positive feedback. 🩵💛🩷
The amount of clients that tell me they don’t like coming home after work and have no idea why…..It’s that reason that I ‘deal in the feels’ and making somewhere feel nurturing and homely is so important after a long day at work.
80% of how you think, feel and behave within an environment, comes from your subconcious mind.
If you need to change how your school, care home, office, hospital, waiting area, spa, house feels, give me a shout.

What makes your interior design team or office fit out team rise about the rest and become the best? ✨💖🙌💛
I can confirm that the team at really are focusing on CPD and up-skilling their designers to be the best at what they do!
I had the pleasure of delivering an up to date neurodivergent design workshop where we looked at-
🌈What the difference is between neurodiversity and neurodivergence,
🌈Why we feel and behave differently in environments,
🌈Neurology, the nervous system, senses, limbic system and environmental stimulatory impact,
🌈Psychology vs behaviourism,
🌈Colour psychology,
🌈Evolutionary theory and epi-genetics,
🌈Sick building syndrome vs environmental trauma,
🌈Lighting and our Circadian rhythms,
🌈Correct language and terminology,
🌈How this should be taken into account within office design.
Filled with fun tasks, self reflection, a pitch competition and lots of laughter! 😍😍😍
My mission to make inclusive design the norm, is one more step in the right direction. 🙌🙌
Thank you for having me, loved every minute spent with you and your team and can’t wait to see you guys put that theory into action! ✨😍💛❤️
