Designing for wellbeing across the lifespan

Interior design, writing, and community work focused on care, continuity, and living well in place.

Design-led support — rooted in biophilic and regenerative principles and lived experience.

Design-informed living, rooted in care and lived experience

THRVE supports people and communities navigating change, caregiving, aging, and everyday life — through design, writing, and seasonal support rooted in lived experience.

The work explores how our environments — homes, habits, and shared spaces — shape how we feel, regulate, and live over time. Rather than focusing on trends or perfection, THRVE supports people and communities in creating environments that feel calmer, safer, and more sustaining.

Support is offered through interior design and home consulting, reflective writing and publications, seasonal Resets, and select community, education, and aging-in-place initiatives.

You don’t need to know where to begin.
Some people arrive here looking to read and reflect. Others are seeking quiet, self-guided support, or personal guidance applying this work to their lives.
Everything here is designed to be entered slowly, when it feels useful.

You’re in the right place if:

  • Your home feels overwhelming or draining

  • You’re moving through change, stress, or fatigue

  • You want support without pressure or perfection

  • You sense your environment affects how you feel

How THRVE Supports You

Understand Your Space

  • We begin by noticing how your environment is currently affecting your energy, stress, and daily rhythms.

Make Gentle, Practical Shifts

  • Through design guidance, resets, or one-on-one support, we help you make changes that feel manageable and meaningful.

Build Ongoing Support

  • Membership, seasonal practices, and resources help you stay connected to your space over time.

Find Your Starting Point

  • Design supports real life in homes and shared environments.

  • Writing helps translate lived experience into meaning and understanding.

  • Resets offer seasonal ways to realign rhythm, space, and care.

  • Community & education work scales these principles thoughtfully, without abstraction.

Together, they form a cohesive approach to living well in place — personally and collectively.

Begin Where You Are

Your home doesn’t need to be fixed.

It needs to be allowed to support you.

Rooted in Home is a grounded body of work that explores how our environments shape energy, rhythm, and wellbeing — especially through seasons of change, fatigue, caregiving, and transition.

Rather than offering solutions or improvements, this work helps you:

  • understand what your body and nervous system need from the spaces you live in

  • reduce sensory and emotional strain at home

  • create simple, sustainable rhythms that support steadiness and ease

Rooted in Home is designed for homeowners, renters, apartment dwellers, and anyone seeking support without pressure, performance, or perfection.

This is not about redesigning your home.

  • reflections on wellness, design, and daily rhythms

  • excerpts from Andrea’s writing and ongoing work

We can sit back, do nothing and watch our planet be destroyed. Or we can take action, become advocates and start making lifestyle choices which are kinder to people and the planet.
