The Emotional Home: How Spaces Heal Us with Nicole Baxter

The Emotional Home: How Spaces Heal Us with Nicole Baxter

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we sit down with Nicole Baxter—interior designer, speaker, and pioneer of neuroaesthetic-based residential design. Nicole introduces us to a powerful idea: our homes are not just physical spaces, they are emotional containers that shape our well-being. From childhood memories to trauma-informed design, Nicole reveals how subtle environmental cues—from clutter to lighting to colors—impact our nervous system and emotional safety. Discover how to evaluate your own space, build resilience through your surroundings, and start viewing home as a tool for healing and emotional regulation.

About the Guest:Nicole Baxter is the founder of the Emotional Home framework, the first neuroaesthetics-driven model that integrates design, psychology, and trauma-informed care. With over 30 years in the high-end design world, Nicole now focuses on creating homes that support healing. Her work connects environment, family systems, and personal psychology to redefine what feeling at home truly means.

Key Takeaways:

  • Your environment is part of your mental health—it speaks to your nervous system even when you don’t realize it.

  • Nicole’s Emotional Home Framework links environment, family, and psychology to create comfort, resilience, and safety.

  • Trauma-informed design is growing—helping people use their living spaces as a path to healing.

  • You don’t need luxury—just intentional design that reflects safety, memory, and personal meaning.

  • Small sensory elements like light, color, texture, and even metals can positively shift your inner state.
