my story
The idea for Beautiful Healthy Home actually started with a candle over a decade ago, when I was feeding my first child. The candle was emitting black sooty smoke and I started to wonder if that was perhaps creating an unhealthy environment for my newborn.
This led me on a journey of research and exploration to discover so many things in our home are potentially toxic to us and are leading to health problems later in life.
My background, pre-children, spans a decade from the late nineties to the late noughties, in fashion buying for major high street brands, followed by a further seven years in a transformative role at the Fairtrade Foundation, where I supported sustainability and ethical practices. With the birth of my first child, I chose to step into the role of stay-at-home mum. I have always been fascinated by interiors, architectural design and pattern, and when the opportunity arose for me to return to study, I jumped at the chance, completing a year-long diploma in interior design in 2017.
My study of interior design ran parallel with my research into healthier homes and I knew then that I wanted to offer more than just providing a nice aesthetic. My passion for responsible design drove me to gain further qualifications in healthier building materials and indoor air quality through courses with NY Parsons School of Design and ACS. I am also a signatory of the Better Business Act and Interior Design Declares, as well as being a registered Associate Interior Designer with the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID).
Beautiful Healthy Home started out as a small independent retailer in 2021 selling hand-made healthy items from the home - the soy wax candle with essential oils by Join being the first product I ever invested in. I still sell this gorgeous product today. I finally realised my ultimate dream when I launched my interior design services in late 2023.
Every element of my work reflects a dedication to combining style, functionality, and a healthier environment for you and your family.
I hold both public liability and professional indemnity insurance, and as your interior designer, I am committed to creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also thoughtfully tailored to your wellbeing.
