Whether we’re talking about the toxins that affect women’s hormones, the stress we carry in our nervous system, or the way our children learn to feel safe and self-sufficient, it all comes back to the spaces we live in every day. Marianne’s story reminds us that healing begins with awareness, and my book offers the practical, science-backed steps to create a home that supports the well-being of every woman and every child inside it. When we choose calmer spaces, natural materials, and nurturing routines, we’re not just decorating — we’re building resilience, joy and long-term health for our families.
