What Non-Toxic Kitchenware is best & more!
I’m Maria, a Building and Interior Designer with a passion for helping people and organisations create healthier more sustainable spaces. Using Biophilic Design, Building Biology, and Neuroarchitecture principles, I use simple, practical ways to transform environments into places that nurture well-being, foster inclusivity, and protect our planet. I am also a mum, a healthy living fanatic and someone living with an Invisible Disability called Vestibular Migraines that developed during a home renovation. This experience revealed how profoundly our surroundings impact our health. Since we spend over 90% of our time indoors, understanding how to create supportive environments is vital for everyone.
If you’re ready to create a space where you and your loved ones can thrive, you’re in the right place!
