She has a unique ability to blend a host of elements, mixing the spiritual and practical to produce inspiring, individually tailored designs that incorporate the lifestyle, tastes and personalities of her clients. She believes that the home reflects the occupant and vice-versa. Helen works closely with clients to discover their real needs and desires using intuition as well as conventional knowledge and experience. Her aim is to blend aesthetics with practical needs, thus enhancing the well-being of the occupants, maximising energy flow and promoting a state of harmony within the building. Helen comes from a scientific background, having a degree in Biology/Geography (BSc Hons) with a special interest in ecology. Early in her career she worked with teenage girls in Care and then spent 15 years in the health care profession with adults with mental health problems and dual diagnosis. Through this experience she gained important insight into how much a person's immediate environment affects their well-being and ensured that the homes she managed were well designed and decorated. She also implemented the use of therapies for the benefit of the tenants and residents, believing strongly that health also comes from the inside out in a two-way process. She began her interior design work within the health environment and after formally qualifying in Interior Design in London set up her own successful business. To date her work has included homes, small businesses, restaurants and complimentary health clinics. Retaining her initial interest in ecology and believing that in the context of today's world we all need to take responsibility for our use of resources she endeavours to source environmentally-friendly products where possible. Ten years ago Helen came across the 'hands on' healing of Reiki and spent several years training to become a Master, using it daily in her own life. She also trains others and gives healing sessions. She found that the increasing awareness of energy within everything influenced her attitudes towards health. With her flair for creating beautiful schemes and a natural ability to manage and organise the practical side of an interior design practice she looked for a way to further her understanding of the interaction of life energies within this field. Her aim was to ensure that clients would not only love their home or business, but would also benefit in terms of their well-being. This led her to undertaking further Feng Shui training and qualifying as a Practitioner with the Feng Shui Academy. She has found Feng Shui to be an immensely powerful tool to help people improve their lives and uses it within businesses and homes. She is also a member of the British Society of Dowsers and uses this in her work.
