Do you struggle with the following in your home?

Do you struggle with the following in your home?

Image

Family Disconnection

Too much tech, not enough chill? In a house full of ADHD brains, big emotions, and constant over-stimulation, your nervous system is completely overwhelmed leading you to feel helpless.

Image

Clutter Overwhelm

Can’t focus? Can’t find anything? The piles keep growing, and so does your stress. When your home is messy, it’s stressy! Clutter overloads the brain, fuels anxiety, and makes everyday tasks and routines feel impossible.

Image

Continuous Growth

Just when you’ve settled, boom—another developmental leap! Suddenly, the playroom isn’t working, the bedroom setup feels off, and your space isn’t growing with your family.

Optimize your home for wellness, connection, and flow by designing spaces that function well for the unique needs of your family.

Why Optimize Your Home for Wellness?

Image
Image

Mental Health

Research shows that anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges have more than doubled since 2020, post-pandemic. Creating spaces at home that provide opportunities for families to talk and connect while preserving space and privacy is more important than ever.

 

Image

Air, Water, Light

Natural elements, such as air, water, and light, are essential for a harmonious living. These elements can be used in interior spaces to promote wellness and create a healthier environment. Improved air flow and access to water can improve physical health, while light and sunlight can improve mental health.

 

Image

Technology

The rise and integration of technology within our homes is changing how people spend time and interact together. Families need guidance about how to integrate technology so as to enhance, but not disrupt, connection. De-centralizing technology in living spaces is a large factor for wellness.

 

Image

Functionality

When designing a home, we need to consider the physical features of the space. This can include things like storage spaces and accessibility throughout the home. How a home functions best will look different depending on the age and life stage of you and your family.

 

Image

Daily Living Activities

How a home is designed and laid-out influences our daily routines and practices. Objects and technologies, such as household appliances and commonly used surfaces, impact the ways we perform tasks, organize our time, and construct our identities.

 

Image

Aesthetic Appeal

Our homes are physical structures. How they are designed impacts our emotional experience. Aesthetic elements such as space, colour, texture, and patterns are important to consider in creating a visually appealing, functional, and harmonious home that meets individual preferences.

 

Image

Connection

Humans tend to thrive with greater social connection. When family members learn to empathize with the emotions of others, they can experience better life satisfaction. Resonating with those around them can lead to experiencing fulfillment - by helping others and observing others being helped.

 

Image

Work/Leisure Separation

Since the pandemic, more and more parents are working from home while multi-tasking home life. Busy family units need to re-think how to draw boundaries and delineate spaces, so they can facilitate more focused, clear workspaces and separate work from home life.

Hi Dr. Bev and Chloe!! Thank you so so so much for coming out today. As always it took the stress and fatigue over all of these decisions and turned it into excitement and reassurance and confidence. You both have such gifts and mad skillz.

One thing that has happened as a result of working with Haven is this fire in us to get rid of things and simplify! It's a process. But I know it's worth it!

The Spark

Things really started to spark when you walked through our home with me. I started to make realizations about things that could change. Once I saw how good it felt to take care of one space and reduce clutter, I have felt highly motivated to keep going!

Shed Some Light

Katrina, from Guelph

My thorough conversations with Bev allowed me to shed some light on the areas of strength and challenge in our household.. Her questioning allowed me to reflect on what was most important for our family: to reduce the clutter in our home so that we can focus the most on connection.

Great Questions

Alice, from Guelph

I loved having Bev and Chloe walk through our home with us. They asked really great questions to help us consider each space. I loved the breakdown of steps into low, medium and high categories, as well as the visuals.

Dream Team

Heather, from Burlington

The Haven Wellness & Design process was incredibly helpful! Bev and Chloe are the dream team and helped us figure out a new layout for our living room, and how to furnish it properly using design elements, incorporating nature and light, and calmness into our home. The process was easy and exciting. We have recommended Haven to many of our friends.

Appreciated
The Assistance

Kim, from Dundas

It was really awesome to have you both available to answer questions about things that came up after initial consults. I also really appreciated Chloe’s assistance when I came into Rug & Weave. I am still working on finding light fixtures, art, and trying to wrap up some of my decisions and will happily post about the process soon. I have recommended you to many already!
We have a backyard build and would love some input if you have room in your schedule for another project.

Empowering

Sandra, from Guelph

The Haven experience was a supportive, collaborative one that led to optimization of wellness in our home. Chloe and Bev listened to our unique needs and concerns and developed individualized support in the form of the Style Guide. Going through the Haven experience was empowering and helped us mobilize and feel motivated to tackle other areas of our home that have needed attention as well. We highly recommend Haven for any space, big or small.

Vision

Samantha, from Guelph

We were very happy with the design services received! The team fully understood our vision and provided exactly what we needed to move forward. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to design their home. We particularly appreciated their ability to work with many pieces we already owned.
