DesignWell Studios — Wellness by Design

Founded by Michelle Bexelius, a seasoned wellness designer, environmental consultant, and certified Integrative Health Practitioner, DesignWell Studios helps transform homes and workspaces into healthy, mindful, and inspiring sanctuaries. We work with homeowners, designers, architects, builders, and real estate professionals who want more than just a beautiful space — they want an environment that supports healing, reduces toxic exposures, and reflects a wellness-driven lifestyle.

Our work blends science and intuition. We use comprehensive environmental diagnostics (testing for VOCs, mold, EMFs, and water quality) to uncover hidden hazards, then design holistic, stylish solutions grounded in building biology, biophilic principles, and sustainable materials.

Whether you’re building new, remodeling, or navigating sensitivities in your current home, we guide you in:

  • Diagnosing what’s impacting your health

  • Detoxing your environment

  • Designing for well-being, beauty, and balance

The result? Spaces that feel relaxing, restorative, and revitalizing — places that help you breathe deeper, live better, and thrive every day.

This is wellness design. This is DesignWell Studios.

MANIFEST0

We believe that home is more than shelter—
it’s the foundation of your health, your peace, and your life.
We believe that beauty shouldn’t come at the cost of your well-being.
That clean air, safe materials, and natural light are not luxuries—
they are essentials.
We believe in design that listens.
To your body. Your story. Your needs.
Especially if you’ve been dismissed, sensitive, or overwhelmed by the modern built world.
We believe that nature belongs indoors.
That sunlight, fresh air, wood, and water restore what stress takes away.
That biophilic design is not a trend—it’s a return.
We believe your space should support you—
whether you're a young family building healthy habits,
a person healing from chronic illness,
or simply someone who wants to feel better every day.
We believe in revealing the root cause.
In testing the invisible.
In detoxing what’s harming you—and designing what helps you thrive.
We believe your home can feel supportive and nurturing. 
Not sterile. Not clinical.
But alive, beautiful, safe, and yours.

This is wellness design.
This is DesignWell Studios.
