Bridging the Gap Between Home and Health
Your home should help you feel calm, clear, and restored. But when you feel foggy, reactive, wired, tired, or noticeably better when you are away, your environment may deserve a closer look.
Wellness Property Assessment
A Wellness Property Assessment helps you understand potential concerns, identify what matters most, and create a practical plan without chasing every possible exposure at once.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You feel better away from home.
A musty odor appears after rain, showering, or HVAC use.
Your home has experienced a leak, flood, or moisture issue.
Symptoms began after new flooring, paint, cabinetry, furnishings, or renovations.
You have environmental test results but are unsure what they mean.
You want to know whether your home is supporting your health.
If so, you are in the right place.

Why Work With Michelle
Michelle Bexelius, founder of DesignWell Studios, brings more than 15 years of experience helping people understand the connection between their health and the environments where they live, work, recover, and heal.
Her background spans environmental wellness assessments, indoor air quality, mold and moisture concerns, environmental testing, remediation planning, healthy material selection, biophilic design, and wellness-focused interiors. She has supported clients through complex situations involving water damage, chemical exposures, off-gassing, ventilation problems, and environmental sensitivities—helping them make sense of conflicting information and move forward with greater clarity.
Michelle’s approach looks beyond a single test result or isolated building condition. She considers the history of the property, potential exposure pathways, occupant experiences, daily routines, materials, building systems, and the way the space feels and functions. When testing is needed, she helps identify appropriate options for air, water, soil, mold, VOCs, formaldehyde, pesticides, herbicides, metals, and other environmental contaminants, while connecting clients with qualified laboratories and professionals.
As both an environmental wellness practitioner and designer, Michelle understands that a healthier space must also be livable, functional, and beautiful. She brings environmental health, building science, healthy materials, sensory design, lighting, EMF awareness, and biophilic principles together to create recommendations that support sleep, comfort, resilience, and long-term well-being.
Clients work with Michelle because she offers more than information. She provides calm guidance, thoughtful interpretation, and a clear path forward—helping people understand what matters most, what can wait, and what practical steps will create meaningful change.
Additional consulting is available for report review, remediation planning, contractor-scope evaluation, healthier product sourcing, and professional coordination.
Wellness Property Scan
Get Clarity Before You Commit
When you are searching for a new home, it is easy to fall in love with the layout, neighborhood, or price. But many of the conditions that can affect your health, comfort, and investment are not visible during a traditional showing or home inspection. This is to point out what is around the area you are looking to rent or buy that you can’t necessarily mitigate. It’s good to know before you commit.
Air pollution, radon potential, nearby industry, pesticide exposure, flood risk, power infrastructure, noise, and future development can all influence how a property feels to live in—and whether it supports your long-term well-being.
With more than 15 years of experience uncovering the hidden ways homes and surrounding environments can affect health, Michelle created the Wellness Property Scan to give buyers greater clarity before making a commitment. A research-informed review of the environmental, neighborhood, and infrastructure factors that traditional inspections may overlook.
