Flame retardants are chemicals that are applied to materials to prevent the start or slow the growth of fire. Some of these chemicals are associated with adverse health effects in animals and humans.

Since the 1970s, flame-retardant chemicals have been added to Furnishings such as seating foam and coverings, mattresses, and carpets.

They are associated with endocrine disruption, low birth weight in babies whose pregnant mothers are exposed, neurological disorders, cancer, and adverse brain and bone development.

Chemicals can leach from products into the air and then attach to dust, food, and water, which can be ingested.

They also seep into the air, water, and soil during manufacturing or application.

Why the increased use of flame retardants? Manufacturing of synthetics—petroleum based fibers like polyester and nylon BURN AND MELT FAST!

What’s my recommendation?

🐑 Go back to ancient fibers like WOOL, which we have used for thousands of years.

🐑 WOOL IS RESISTANT TO FIRE

🐑 It has the highest natural fire resistance compared to other untreated textiles, such as cotton or polyester. Wool is less likely to ignite and, if circumstances cause the fiber to burn, it does not melt or drip and will self-extinguish.

🐑 In contrast to synthetic fibers, wool’s natural fire resistance and other natural comfort benefits, such as moisture management and breathability, make it the ideal base-layer fabric for use in clothing and upholstery.

The number one mistake I see renters make is not making their space their own. And paint is one of the most impactful ways to not only transform your space but also your biology.

I highly recommend over any other paint as it is Cradle to Cradle Certified and combines minerals that we’ve used for millennia with modern technology. Go to my link in Bio.⬆️

🚫The number one mistake that I see renters make in their home is to WAIT IN PURGATORY to customize or even decorate their home. I have heard so many who live in bland boxes for years waiting to own their homes. But they are missing out on a major health boost.

Your home impacts your health. The science of neuroaesthetics shows that your environment affects your emotions, your physiology, and even your gene expression.

Don’t wait to create a home that reflects your life!!

“Working with Mahwish has been incredible. First and foremost, she is one of the most kind and caring people you will ever meet.

Another great thing about Mahwish is that she provides you with relatively small changes that you can literally make overnight, and that is something I really valued.

I learned that although I don’t have the ability to make major changes at our institution, I do have the ability to make changes to my personal office.

After making the changes that we discussed, especially the lighting, I feel much more relaxed in my office and I know this will have great benefits moving forward.

Anyone who is thinking about making some changes or working with Mahwish- don’t think. Just do it!”

-Dr. Marty Hogan

Loyola University Medical Center

Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan, for your kind words! I believe that all medical providers deserve to work in spaces that align with their well-being. You have more power over your environment than you think and simple changes have a huge impact.

👉 Book a call to see how I can help you with your office.

“Food isn’t just fuel, it’s the pencil that rewrites your genetic instructions. Starting today, your fork becomes more powerful than your family history.”

-Dr. Lucia Aronica, Stanford University Epigenetics Researcher and Scientist

I highly recommend you listen to her amazing interview with the illustrious where confirms so many things I’d practiced while healing from cancer.

She coins the word “epinutrient” where the food you eat is more than fuel but the pencil that rewrites your story. I am a believer and practitioner of my own health and what I put into my body matters. I would also posit that the sun is also another epinutrient! More on this…

You have more agency than you think! I look and feel better after healing from cancer than before I even had it. And nutrition plays a huge part! Truly loved this conversation—so near and dear to my heart.

Here is a circadian designer secret…👇

🐍 Most people don’t realize that the PLACEMENT OF LIGHTS in relation to your body matters just as much as the type of light itself.

🐍 It needs to be at eye level or lower after dark. Your body registers overhead light like its high noon, giving your mitochondria the wrong light signaling.

🐍 So turn off your overhead light and turn on table lamps and sconces.

🐍 Better yet, keep it ambient. You want to set the mood for rest and repair.

🐍 After my own cancer journey, I researched the connection between light and hormonal cancers. Your environment and lifestyle contributes greatly—on an EPIGENETIC level—superseding your genes. And that means you have tremendous agency with the right guidance.

🐍 Remember your biology is ancient. As a circadian certified interior designer, I care about your health as much as your aesthetics.

As a circadian certified interior designer, I advocate firelight over any LED. Firelight is in tune with your ancient biology for millions of years. And if you don’t have a fireplace, simply lighting a candle has multiple benefits:

🕯️Soothing your nervous system.
🕯️Putting you into your parasympathetic state.
🕯️Increased collagen production.
🕯️Cellular repair.
🕯️Best light after dark over any LED!!

Thank you so much, Anna, for creating a space for us to heal through dance. After finishing my own cancer treatment, I dreamed of dancing to celebrate the gift of life I’d been given. That dream was put on hold during the pandemic.

Flash forward a few more years and I had the serendipitous occasion to meet Anna at Talks last April as I was a speaker there and her organization was performing. I remember the dancers were electric with joy backstage as we all prepared.

A year later, I found myself rehearsing with my fellow goddesses for the premiere community performance at . I am still processing the magnitude of Anna’s mission. i cannot thank you enough, for your encouragement and belief! It was my first time on a stage as a DANCER. And my beautiful soul sisters helped guide me when I lost my step. Thank you also to for being such an amazing teacher—her love shone through in her patience and care.

Anna, I am so glad you returned to what you love—you’ve created a monumental beacon of hope and connection. I am eternally grateful!

Please support this amazing organization! You are helping to heal us.

Cancer wasn’t the end of my story, it was a whole new beginning. I have learned so much about the power of epigenetics on our health. And that’s great news because YOU HAVE AGENCY.

I took my 25 years of designing and began creating from a place of healing. That’s how I healed myself. But what’s healed me the most is sharing my pomegranate seeds of wisdom with you.

Come walk with me.
