ENVIRONMENTAL THERAPY™
Environmental Therapy™ seeks to strengthen the relationship between people and place, creating the right conditions for life to flourish.
Home as a catalyst for change
A happy life is preceded by a happy home but a happy home doesn’t happen by chance.
Environmental Therapy™ recognises the home is not simply where you live. It is an active partner in your well-being, your relationships and your capacity for change.
I am a Devon-based Environmental Therapist™ (1995), offering on-site and remote appraisals that create vibrant living spaces that correlate with a vibrant way of life.
Home and Well-being
Your home is not just the physical environment. It’s the place where you both create and rejuvenate.
A place that reflects what you value the most. Your place of belonging and becoming.
“Thank you for your magic, Mary. My husband heartily approves of the complete change around in the lounge and refreshing of all the other rooms. I’m delighted/relieved/excited and enjoying the freedom of living inside our happy, relaxed home – and the garden too.”
A caring, reciprocal relationship
The home is not a static phenomenon. It is alive and organic. It wants to grow and evolve as much as we do.
In the rush to find a home, we can overlook what it will take to nurture and maintain it. Then, caring for the home can feel like a burden, breeding resentment, rather than a deliberate way to promote our well-being and success.
Like any good relationship, when you pay conscious attention to the home, supporting its wants and deserves, your home will return the gift of love many times over. Environmental Therapy™ shows you the way.
Home as sanctuary
Irrespective of how large a mansion or how small a room you live in, your environment impacts what you do – and how well you do it.
Environmental Therapy™ sets out to create a correlation between your environment and your innermost hopes and desires so positive outcomes are enjoyed by all.
“Mine is only a small room but Mary completely switched the furniture around and made other enhancements. I love my room now and feel so happy to return home. I’ve even launched a small business from it”
It’s not just your well-being that will be enhanced but everyone living under the same roof will benefit too.
“I felt uncomfortable in my luxury apartment but couldn’t figure out why. Mary focused her recommendations on a few key areas and my life has been constantly uplifted ever since”

Environmental psychology
Your home is like a sponge. It absorbs the happy moments worthy of celebration and the not so happy moments like divorce, sickness, and bankruptcy. It’s up to you to shift the energy. You’ve got this!
“I couldn’t go to bed tonight without letting you that today they offered me the job! I can’t say how happy and grateful I am for your support. Only two weeks ago I contacted you and once more you were there to guide me – and with this result.”
A cluttered, disorganized, unmindful home can cause more stress than it already is. If not addressed, it may build up and contribute to a major disruption occuring in your life.
“The modifications we made to my home are having a big effect on my business with my creative energy now free to focus and not be so distracted”
Creating the conditions for change
The areas where you spend most time in your home are affected the most. Environmental Therapy™ identifies where these are and how to bring them back into balance.
A pervasive sense of calm is a sign of good energy flow. The home feels harmonious and lovely, with everything in an easy relationship with everything else.
“Knocking a couple of walls down under Mary’s steer was radical but has transformed how the house feels and my relationship to it. I don’t burst into tears anymore”
Template for conscious living
“Simple suggestions such as moving some items from right to left made a big difference immediately”
Environmental Therapy™ provides a practical template for making conscious life changes through the home. Home improvements then become life improvements also that rarely require a large expense.
“Mary was so helpful in repurposing items I already had while her recommendations for additional pieces I needed to purchase were minimal”
Oftentimes it’s the small, subtle adjustments that have the biggest impact. Simply changing a room’s layout can greatly improve how people experience living in the space – and in the space of their lives.
“I’m surrounded by colours now that match me and the personality of the place”
The effect on your mood is immediate
“Mary advised me how to organise my study with a clear plan, broken down into manageable chunks I could implement right away”
The recommended solutions don’t require you to apply a rigid set of house rules that include keeping the toilet seat down. Tending the home is less proscriptive than that and as much about the effect you are having on the home.
Reconfiguring the layout of a home can change well-established patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you – and the results experienced immediately.
“Mary has an uncanny ability to get to the heart of the matter immediately with steps to remedy it”
Creating harmony and balance by design
“The consultation had a positive effect in helping me find purpose and an incentive to get on with things and improve my life in many different ways”
Redecorating or planning structural change are ideal moments for an Environmental Therapy™ appraisal. These moments can alter the overall balance of the home, which could have a disruptive effect that can be costly to rectify:
- Sell a house
- Find a new home
- Support a life transition
- Enhance your sleep
- Attract a relationship
- Become pregnant
- Improve your finances
- Progress your career
“Mary’s skill in making quick, inexpensive but striking improvements to our house on the market resulted in us being overwhelmed with viewings and receiving a number of offers in quick succession”
An appraisal
“After a session of Environmental Therapy™, the environment feels like it’s supporting me rather than being a distraction I need to manage”
You’ll start by sharing your intentions and any challenges you are experiencing so I can diagnose what to focus on. Whether on-site or online, I’ll consider:
- house location
- surrounding environment
- predecessor & residual energy
- room layout
- room usage
- clutter build up
- arrangement of furniture
- colour and texture choices
- placement of artwork and accessories
- lighting – natural and artificial
“I’d attempted to alter my flat by reading Feng Shui books but failed to grasp the bigger picture and had unknowingly created other problems that Mary resolved”
Fees
“Mary’s suggestions were economical to implement on a budget. She always surprised us with the amount of information and ideas provided and with her excellent taste in style and design”
Fees are determined by the size of the property and the scale of the project and include:
- Establish outcomes – by telephone or in person
- Preparation – review plans/photos/videos/Google Earth
- Remote or on-site visit – verbal recommendations
- Summary report (extra if needed)
- Final adjustments by email or online.
Travel expenses are extra if required.
“I was overwhelmed with choices I had to make in terms of colour, texture, layout, furniture, carpet. After the therapy session, I was calmer and knew exactly what I needed to do to create a home we’d all love to live in”
