I’m Natasha, a mum, interior designer, and yoga lover with a passion for helping families like yours. Based in Brighton, UK, I specialise in sensory-focused design that transforms homes into havens where highly anxious or neurodivergent children can feel calm, sleep better, and thrive.
When my neurodiverse daughter was young, I struggled to create a home that truly supported her needs. I tried everything—diet changes, room adjustments, even consulting a child psychologist—yet the meltdowns and restless nights continued.
Through years of research and hands-on experience, I discovered how the right environment can transform a child’s daily life. Now, I help families create supportive spaces—without the frustration.
Every parent should have access to the help and support they need. But in the UK, waiting lists for diagnosis and professional support are long, leaving families feeling stuck. I believe you shouldn’t have to wait for a diagnosis to start making life easier for your child.
Most parents don’t realise how much their home environment impacts their child’s well-being. Sensory-friendly design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and creating spaces that help children regulate their emotions. When a home is designed with a child’s sensory needs in mind, the entire family benefits.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. I bring together over 15 years of professional interior design experience and real-life expertise as a parent to create solutions that are beautiful, practical, and truly life-changing.
