I'm Jodie Duddington and I've been working in the field of Interior Architecture and design for the past 25 years. A demanding career with late nights, pressured deadlines, and just life in general, has required the support of the wellness industry for my own physical and mental health. Because of this I have gained a deep appreciation for not only the transformative power of holistic self-care, but also how well designed and holistically considered spaces can support and supercharge the healing process.
The WELLROOM CO and the BUILDINGS THAT HEAL US PODCAST are platforms to help navigate the incredible wealth of diverse information currently available to us. Over the past five years, we have witnessed a huge surge in the wellness industry and the wellness real estate sector that supports it, reflecting humanity's collective yearning for healing and a holistic approach to life. At this pivotal moment, we find ourselves on the cusp of a global shift towards constructing (and adapting) holistic buildings that nurture the body, mind, spirit, community, and planet.
I have come to know, as most designers and architects know, that the built environment has a profound impact on our physical and psychological, and social health. By gaining a deeper understanding of this connection, we are empowered to create wellness spaces, wellness real estate, and of course all buildings and spaces, that optimize wellbeing on multiple levels.
Welcome to The WELLROOM CO, your wellness-focused resource for architects, designers, wellness practitioners and anyone interested in how buildings can actively support our physical and mental health.
