Design and Architecture are my absolute passions and have been since my teenage years. My road to DESIGN has taken a few twists and turns while wearing several career hats over the years, however, I never abandoned my deep love affair with DESIGN. Finally, after completing my Interior Design Education many years ago, Soulier Design Studio was founded. I am an accredited member of DDA (Decorators and Designers Association of Canada), the Regional Director for DDA Atlantic Canada and serve on the DDA Board of Directors)

Wellness Design and Material Health for the built environment has been my focus since I founded my design business 18 years ago.  Honestly, back then and even now when I talk about health-focused design many people have no idea how design and health relate to one another.  I believe every room in your home including your exterior spaces should be an enjoyable and satisfying experience. More importantly, your home should support your health and well-being. We design beautifully appointed spaces that leverage the latest evidence-based health and wellness design principles. These help foster positive emotions and improve relationships, productivity, sleep, and the overall health of the occupant.

I have been committed to distinguishing myself as a leader in human health and wellness in the spaces where we spend our lives and I continue to educate myself in this area.

Besides being a Designer, I am a Certified Life/Executive Coach and a graduate of Parsons School of Design-The New School New York- Healthier Materials and Sustainable Buildings program.

This program explains the relationship between building materials and the human body and how the choices we make as designers can change people’s lives.

My studies included the following

• an introduction to human health and the effects of toxins on our bodies, material basics
• what contributes to the indoor environment air quality
• toxicity and hazards, and the impact of green chemistry on innovation in the chemical industry.
• paths to designing healthier built environments, from defining health and project goals to finding healthier products.
• discussion surrounding the creation of a framework to facilitate the implementation and execution of healthier products, enabling change-making and changemakers!

I am certified in Neuroaesthetics. SCIENCE IN DESIGN (SIDC).  "Science in Design (Neuroaesthetics - The convergence of Science and Design) teaches interior designers about the positive effects of beauty, nature, and fine design on people’s physical and emotional health. The goal is to help designers use beauty to promote healing, which has been proven by the study of neuroaesthetics and medicine. The mission is to make the design industry see that they can be a source of health and well-being for people."

Our latest addition to our services is Regenerative Living. Recently, I have partnered with 5th World as an Advisor.  We meticulously design and implement regenerative food, water, and energy solutions for properties. Regenerative Living is the future of luxury living! More to come on this soon.

Providing Wellness Interior Design for the Past  18 Years

​We Fuse Interior Design with Wellness.......To raise awareness of our escalating global environmental issues and the importance of sustainable living, I resolved to specialize my Design practice in sustainability, eco-friendly, and non-toxic Interior Design, Products, and Wellness Lifestyle. I have successfully married my training skills from my Life Coach, LEED/ECO, and SIDC training with my skills as a designer to help clients create healthy, sustainable, and health-focused homes that truly mirror,  their personalities. A home that can be enjoyed, where our clients can flourish and tap into their true authentic selves.

Often clients ask, "What is your style"? My reply is always the same. "My style is your style. This is your home, not mine and I want to create an oasis that reflects how you want to live in your home."

I find it interesting to walk through my clients’ homes and view their private collections and treasures. These are the items that are so significant in defining a client's style, cherished memories, their history, and making their home feel "UNIQUE" to them not simply a replica of something on Instagram or Pinterest. I make sure to incorporate these collections into their design plan."

Clients often hire a designer for that touch of style/polish that they have been unable to achieve on their own......."I call it Glamming up the space!!"

Some final thoughts before you take a deeper peek into our Studio. We live in a time of extreme consumerism and a throwaway culture. Our health & lives would truly benefit if we just took the time to "slow down" be more mindful, and conscious, live more sustainably, and respect our earth's precious natural resources.

I envision creating a complete "WELLNESS LIFESTYLE"  - a one-stop destination for my clients and new friends who visit our Studio. I had planned on launching an online shop, however, after careful consideration, I have decided to offer a more personalized one-on-one service.  We will help you bring your ideas for your home to life with our new DESIGN CONCIERGE CONSULTATION!

This is an exclusive complimentary service for clients shopping from our Soulier Design Collection catalogue. Our carefully curated collection of environment-friendly, non-toxic, wellness products for all your self-care rituals, our line of organic soft furnishings (SOULIER DESIGN COLLECTION), linens, non-toxic rugs, organic fabrics, lighting, accessories, and decor items for your home that will nourish and support your health. We are very proud of these products that will aid you on your journey toward holistic living.

We only partner with suppliers that share our same mantra and commitment to change for the better!

Our Design Concierge Service and Soulier Design Collection catalogue will launch on May 31, 2025. Stay tuned!

Warmest Regards,

Deborah
