Meet Ngahina Richards

Author, health science professional and creator of Total Sensory Wellbeing, a practical approach for people curious about living and working with more clarity, energy and ease.

I created this work because I needed it. My own search for clarity, calm and a way to feel like myself again led me to uncover how much our senses shape our daily experience, and how overlooked they are in most wellbeing advice.

If you’ve ever felt like me, please know you are not incapable or failing, you’re navigating a world that overwhelms the very systems designed to help you feel calm, clear and in control. 

Wellbeing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it’s not just about green juices, rigid routines or burning candles. My work is for people who are curious about real-world, sustainable ways to feel and function better by understanding how their senses shape their everyday experience.

Let's work together

What if your senses held the key to clarity, energy, and resilience?

Why Total Sensory Wellbeing (TSW) Matters

Sensory inputs aren’t just background noise, they shape your thoughts, moods and daily stamina.

From a desire to feel more resilient in my own life, I connected the dots across neuroscience, environmental psychology and other disciplines to create Total Sensory Wellbeing, a practical, evidence-informed framework for navigating a fast, noisy world.

Your senses shape how you feel, think and act every day, yet you likely ignore their influence. In a virtual-first world, understanding this impact isn’t just useful, it’s essential.

Most wellbeing strategies overlook this. But your senses are operating 24/7, not just during a massage or meditation. With the right awareness, your senses become practical tools for daily resilience, mental clarity and calm in your day-to-day life.

It’s not about adding more to your life, it’s about working with what’s already there.
