Beyond being useful and beautiful, a home must be a healing sanctuary—a place where we can rest and recover from daily exposure to toxins.
Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, so it’s crucial to prioritize the health of our homes. From the water we drink and the air we breathe to the furniture we sit on, the bedding we sleep on, and the paint on our walls, everything we eat, wear, touch, and use to furnish our homes affects our health daily.
Someone who understands the importance of creating a healing, visually beautiful oasis is our guest, Mahwish Syed. An award-winning fashion and interior designer, celebrated author, cancer survivor, and devoted mother, Mahwish has adorned homes for over two decades, fostering spaces that nurture and heal. She offers her clients a step-by-step system to design their living spaces for optimal alignment and health.
Mahwish’s book, "Purgatory to Paradise," unveils her triumphant cancer journey, showcasing how design became her healing sanctuary. Committed to empowering others, she advocates for personal paradises, affirming that genuine beauty is immediate and attainable for all.
