Bring In More Wellness
Wellness-forward spaces that help you breathe easier, restore, and thrive
Imagine walking into your home and feeling your shoulders drop. The air feels fresh, the light feels supportive, and the space feels beautiful—aligned with the way you want to live. If that’s not how it feels right now—if you’re feeling off, foggy, reactive, wired, tired, or simply not yourself at home—you’re in the right place.
Meet Michelle Bexelius—founder of DesignWell Studios, wellness design strategist, integrative health practitioner, and environmental wellness expert. With 15+ years of onsite and virtual consulting, environmental testing, and wellness-led design, Michelle helps you bridge health and home—combining environmental wellness consultations and assessments with interior design strategy to create spaces that feel calming, restorative, and easier to live in.
We welcome practitioner and clinic referrals to help complete the wellness picture by focusing on the environment. With client consent, Michelle can provide organized findings and optional discussion points so home steps align with the care plan and progress feels steadier between visits.
Introducing the Designwell Wellness Guides
After years of leading both onsite and virtual assessments—paired with in-depth testing and consulting—I’ve curated, written, and designed a collection of practical wellness guides to make healthy living feel clear, grounded, and doable.
These guides are here to help you:
better understand your body and your space
identify what may be quietly affecting your energy, sleep, focus, and overall wellbeing
learn simple, design-forward upgrades that support longevity and everyday vitality
create an environment that feels more supportive, calming, and aligned with how you want to live
Each resource blends wellness education with real-world application—so you’re not just learning what matters, you’re learning how to implement it in a way that fits your lifestyle. 💛
Take our 5-Minute Wellness Home Quiz!
This five-minute self-assessment uncovers how your home environment may be influencing your health, energy, and overall well-being. It highlights potential stressors such as air quality, materials, light, and layout-revealing where your space may be working against you.
After completing the assessment, you’ll receive an email with personalized insights and light recommendations to help you begin restoring balance in your space, along with an invitation to schedule a deeper consultation for tailored guidance and next steps.

This is a clear starting point—whether you want peace of mind, a preventative check-in to keep your home’s foundations strong, or focused support when something feels “off.” You’ll work with Michelle to choose one focus zone, review your home’s story and patterns: moisture and mold risk signals, indoor air quality, ventilation and filtration, materials and off-gassing, lighting, sound, EMFs, and nature connection. If you have past reports—lab results, inspections, remediation notes, or renovation details—Michelle will review them and translate what matters.You’ll receive an Environmental Wellness Report with key findings, prioritized focus areas-recommendations for both DIY and professional testing, what to verify, and what can wait—so your home can feel more restorative, steady, and easy to live in.

We focus on the elements that quietly shape experience—materials and finishes, light and rhythm, airflow and freshness, moisture awareness, and nature connection—so the environment feels grounded, welcoming, and resilient.You’ll receive a clear, aligned direction you or your team can execute—prioritized recommendations, material guidance, and next steps that keep designers, builders, and trades moving together. The result is a space that looks beautiful and feels even better: supportive for daily life, gentle on the senses, and designed to help people breathe easier, focus, rest, and thrive.
