I was standing in a dark, damp room with limited natural light, filled with dirty old furniture.  A house I imagined squatters had lived in squalor due to the neglected state.  I was 5 years old + felt unsafe being in that space. Struggling to breathe, I was suffocating with the weight of the heavy energy that I couldn’t touch or see, yet I could feel.  It was palpable.  In that moment I had my first ever visceral response + learnt how my surroundings had a profound impact on me.  I was having an emotional reaction by simply standing in that room. I felt the way I felt, because of the energy in that space. 

Had I just unlocked a magic code I wondered.  Connecting the dots between the space around me + the way I felt in that space.  I questioned if other people knew this stuff + tested the theory over the years.  Every time my family moved house, I would make over my bedroom using the space in the best way I could.  Some spaces were so revolting I didn’t know where to start.  As I child I had no budget for my projects, so this meant making do with what I could find laying around + stretching my creative skills until something felt good. 

 I constantly rearranged furniture and experimented with colours to see how they made me feel. The experiments fascinated me + I felt different each time I made changes.  I was shifting the energy around the room without even knowing it and the results were incredible.  

I never stopped experimenting.  Moving around a lot was the perfect opportunity to create the space from a bland, dull room.  I thrived turning four empty walls into something special.  Aways asking myself how I wanted to feel in the space before commencing, which gave me a foundation to build on.  That’s how my business BYRON BAY LIFESTYLE began, the passion to guide people to recognise how their environment shapes their mindset, emotions + daily life.  With decades of experience, I revitalise your home to revitalise you - creating a space where effortless living becomes your new reality.
