Introducing The Healthy Home Show Podcast & unveiling the 12 Concepts of a Healthy Space
Thank you to all the new subscribers. Im excited to have you here and share with you the latest in my world of Healthy Buildings and Healthy Homes. Before I get into the weekly rhythm of a newsletter, I wanted to use the opportunity this week to give you an overview on the ideas and concepts behind my work and what I am trying to create over the coming months and years.
To help me create a more palatable way to educate people on all the latest science and knowledge behind Health in the Built Environment aka whether your spaces are making you sick or keeping you healthy, I wanted to let you know that I am launching a new podcast in April/May. It will be called The Healthy Home Show and my aim is to interview both experts and brands that are home focussed and both healthy for our planet and healthy for us humans.
I feel that there is an incredible amount of both overwhelm and confusion around identifying the more ethical brands and companies out there. Far too much green-washing is going on where brands are trying to lure you into buying their products by making out they are more sustainable and better for our wellbeing yet when you delve into their production methods, ingredients or business ethics it turns out that they are not as kind to humans and nature as they pretend to be. So, my mission is to try and help you make better, more conscious choices for your home by weeding out the brands that are actually true to their word! At the end of the day, I feel that the only way we are going to make a change for the better in this world, is by putting our money and energy behind companies that are actually making a difference and putting people and planet before profit. It is difficult to feel like we can make any kind of difference as an individual in turning around the damage that has been done to our world, but I do believe that supporting companies that are already doing the hard work to lead with more integrity, can create a huge momentum in a better direction.
If this sounds like something you will be interested in. You can subscribe in advance here!
As some of you may know, all the work and consultations that I carry out through my brand The Healthy Home Therapist, take into consideration the 12 concepts that I believe make up a Healthy Home or Space. These concepts include the following:
The 12 concepts of a Healthy Home/Building
- Air
- Water
- Nourishment
- Light
- Movement / Ergonomics
- Thermal Comfort
- Sound / Acoustics
- Materials
- Mind
- Community
- EMF Radiation
- Energetics and Flow
They all come together to create a holistic approach in looking at how our environment, homes and work places can affect our wellbeing and either support us in living our healthiest lives or potentially lead to us becoming extremely sick.
Each month on the podcast I would like to cover a different concept bringing in an expert on the subject to discuss how Light for example affects us in a positive and also detrimental way. Then I aim to interview companies that are providing solutions or services in this concept to help you harness the power of each element and optimise your spaces for maximum wellbeing. In time, I think it would be fun to set up a Healthy Home membership that will hold more information, videos and worksheets on each concept, bonus material and also opportunities to have Q & A sessions so that you can make sure you are implementing any strategies to create a non-toxic home effectively.
Healthy Home Tips
In future posts I want to highlight a separate concept each month and take a deeper dive into each one. I want to also alert you to any toxic products and new discoveries that I become aware of out there. Plus I’ll let you know about any new apps, software or technology that I think might help in the quest to optimise our homes and spaces for health.
I’m new to this blog/newsletter thing so please stay with me whilst I work out how to bring you the best value and most useful information!
New Stuff I’m learning
This week I will be attending my first Reset Clearing training session and then I will go on to do some further training in April.
Reset Clearing is energy work and I shall be learning how to both energetically clear and harmonise spaces plus clear energy blockages in the body. I am really excited about this as its a departure from my more science-based qualifications and experience. With the onslaught of 5G I am finding it increasingly difficult to maintain good energetics in my own spaces and body so I shall be intrigued to learn how to effectively protect myself and others from this source of stress.
Events I will be at next month
I shall be at MIPIM the huge real estate conference in Cannes, France from 11th to 15th March. If anyone fancies meeting up for a cuppa and a chat about healthy buildings, please email me.
I shall be speaking in Paris at an event called Urban Retrofit and The Healthy City hosted by Drees and Sommer and I shall be discussing ‘How healthy are European cities?’. The event is on the 25th and 26th of March in the french capital. If you are going to be there, let me know.
If you haven’t already secured a ticket for Futurebuild, its a great event. I will be hoping to join the IWBI team there and attending the talks on ‘Fortifying Buildings for Sustainabilty and Health’. It runs from the 5th to 7th March, here is a link to attend. It’s free to register!
