In episode 27 with Dr Chi-Chi Obuaya from The Soke in London, UK we discuss the cultural differences between the UK and the US in openness around mental wellbeing; the impact of Covid on our relationships at home and in the office; mental health champions in the workplace; why having an off-site venue for discussions around mental health is preferable to an in-office solution; designing an interior for mental wellbeing; the parallels between boutique gyms and private clinics in terms of aspirational positioning and how working on your inner game can make you a more effective manager.

Michelle and I dig into a term that is more common in the US than in Europe, namely ‘building biology’, which is a combination of healthy building strategies and Biophilia or nature-connectedness.  

Her in-person and virtual assessments of residential environments address issues affecting the health of occupiers, the risks of off-gassing from flooring and wall paint, how to mitigate the risk of Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMFs) in homes and how to safely manage your smart home technology.

Michelle has a lot of strings to her bow, having co-developed a lab test for indoor air quality, launched her own collection of biophilic nature-inspired artworks and delivering landscape design services for clients as well to bring the outside world indoors.

She’s devoted to all things natural and healthy in the home environment, so we had lots to talk about.
