Introduction

Our home, the backdrop against which we live our lives — the space we return to at the end of the day, the rooms we move through, the corners we try to ignore — is more powerful than we realise. Your home holds your habits. It shapes your nervous system. It speaks to your body and subconscious in a language older than words. And it can either support and sustain you, or quietly wear you down.

This is what my books are about: decoding the very purpose of home, and the point of interior decoration. My mission is to help time poor but health conscious homemakers to thrive!

Healthy by Design: How to Have a Home that Heals

Healthy by Design is a radical reimagining of the home as a living, breathing partner in your wellbeing. Part practical guide, part soulful manifesto, it invites you to see your space not just as a place you live, but as a mirror of how you feel, who you are, and who you are becoming.

Grounded in science, psychology, sustainability, and spirit, Michelle Ogundehin offers a powerful new framework for transformation: showing how our environments shape our thoughts, habits, and health far more than we realise, and how, by changing your home, you can change your life.

This isn’t about perfection, but protection. Not trends, but truth. And not just style, but soul. Practical and profound, Healthy by Design is your compassionate companion on the journey to creating a home that heals.
