Rethink how spaces shape how you feel and function.
Create conditions that support energy, clarity and engagement.
At home, at work and in the environments where we do business, the conditions around us influence how we think, behave and engage. Understanding these influences can help us make more intentional choices about the spaces, habits and routines that shape daily life.
What we may be overlooking.
My approach offers a different perspective on how we feel, function and behave.
Rather than looking only at what is happening within us, I look at what is happening around us and how we process that information through our senses.
The environment is constantly providing information that can influence our feelings, thoughts and actions, yet we can easily overlook what is literally right in front of us when our attention is focused on whatever is consciously occupying us.
We also don't always appreciate the role our sensory preferences can play in how we respond to different environments. It is this understanding, together with practical strategies, that I bring to my work with individuals and businesses.
How I can help
Discover how your senses may be influencing how you feel, function and experience everyday life.
My work applies this understanding in two ways, helping individuals better understand their own sensory preferences and helping businesses consider how environments and sensory differences can influence the people within them.
Individuals
Understand your sensory preferences and how they may be influencing your energy, focus and everyday life.
Explore how your surroundings, routines and activities may be affecting you, while gaining another perspective on some of the preferences and behaviours of the people around you.
Use these insights to make more informed choices about how you want to feel and function.
Businesses
Understand how the environment can influence how customers, clients and employees feel, respond and behave.
I work with businesses to consider how their physical environment may be influencing customer or client actions and decisions, as well as helping people understand how sensory differences can influence the way we work, interact and respond to our surroundings.
Experience behind the approach
I’m Ngahina Richards, a Behaviour and Environment Consultant, author and speaker.
My approach draws on a background in health science, more than 20 years of corporate experience across commercial, operational and senior leadership roles, and my certification as a Sensory Intelligence® Practitioner.
