    Not Simple: Claudette Rowley, Designing Spaces That Support Your Nervous System

    Claudette Rowley is a wellness-first interior designer who helps people create spaces that not only look beautiful but also support their well-being. Drawing from her background in social work, coaching, and cultural transformation, Claudette practices neuro-aesthetic design - an approach grounded in the science of how color, light, texture, and flow impact our nervous systems. Rebecca and Claudette explore why design matters beyond aesthetics. Claudette explains common design mistakes and introduces her WIRED method (Wellness, Intention, Rhythm, Energy, Delight) for creating spaces that truly serve you. They discuss how cool and warm colors create completely different spaces, the power of biophilic (nature-based) design, and why the question isn't "what's trending?" but "how do I want to feel in this space?" Claudette reminds us: "You deserve to be in a space that you really love and not to settle if you feel stuck - it makes a difference in your life."
