Environmental Designer · Author · Keynote Speaker

The spaces we live in are shaping our families every single day.

I help busy women, schools, and organisations create environments that restore the nervous system, support focus and recovery, and turn everyday spaces into a quiet engine for wellbeing, without renovations.

Etienny Trindade, environmental designer and wellbeing speaker

I believe the spaces we live in are shaping our stress, health, focus, and emotional wellbeing every single day, and most people were never taught how powerful their environment truly is.

The Work

Three audiences. One mission.

Whether the room is a kitchen, a classroom, or a corporate boardroom, the same nervous system rules apply. The work changes the room, and the room changes the people in it.

For Families

The Calm Home Reset, a science-backed program for busy women who want to turn their home into a place that restores the family, not exhausts it.

For Schools

Keynotes and professional learning days that show educators and leaders how the classroom is regulating, or dysregulating, every student in it.

For Organisations

Keynotes for leadership and team training days, the wellbeing layer underneath your engagement scores, retention numbers, and performance.

The Book

Creating Healing Spaces for Children

Twenty years of designing learning environments for children, including award-winning facilities for neurodivergent students, distilled into a practical, evidence-based guide for educators, parents, and anyone who shapes the spaces children grow up in.

The book draws on research from Harvard's Schools for Health initiative, the University of Salford's HEAD Project, and Heschong Mahone's daylight studies, alongside two decades of in-classroom observation.

Keynote Speaking

A keynote that outlines what wellbeing programs aren't yet addressing.

Most workplace and school wellbeing programs focus on what people do, movement, mindset, mindfulness. Very few address what is being done to them, hour by hour, by the spaces they sit in.

Available in three formats: a leadership keynote, a team or educator training day, and a parent wellbeing keynote.

Real Support for Raising Calm, Carefree Children

"The benefits of this book begin as soon as you open to the first page. The colours, the layout, just sitting and taking in the wisdom offered by Etienny Trindade, it feels calming and nurturing. I wish I'd had it in my home as I raised my 3 daughters. The depth of knowledge and passion for children's wellbeing is so evident. No stone is left unturned in giving us the insight and tools to provide environments where our little ones can be supported in being wholeheartedly themselves. Sincerely, thank you Etienny."

Helpful advice for designing children's spaces

"A fantastic resource for parents wanting to design a healthy space for their children. My children are 10, 3 and 1 and I still learned quite a lot from this book and have already made some changes to my children's rooms as a result. A great easy read and easy to implement simple changes."
