I’m Sandy Cousens, a Creative Wellness Consult at Calm Body and Home and with my products, inspirational art and guide books I help people live a healthier life and find their calm. I’ve been in the interior decorating field for 15 years and eight years ago had a life-changing experience after renovation our family home. Products used in the renovation made my sons and I extremely unwell and I ended up in hospital needing an operation. From that day on I changed my way of life, for the better. I removed all known toxins from my family home and started making my own products. Since then I discovered it’s a holistic approach and we need to care not only about the air we breathe but what we put on and in our bodies. I now create Kits for people to make their own natural home care products, create inspirational art and guide books to Find Your Calm (launching soon @calmbodyandhome).
If weren’t talking to you right now I’d be…
Taking my sons down to the beach, finishing off some work or doing some deep breathing
A phrase I use far too often is …
(I can’t say this enough to my sons) love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life
I wish people would take more notice of…
Themselves (not aesthetics, but their mind and spirit) – it would, in turn, allow them to do what they love, raise their vibration and attract like souls…they’d be happier and be kinder to others in turn
The biggest change I noticed when I turned 40 was…
Feeling completely happy in my own skin
A common misperception of me is…
I’m socially outgoing but in fact, I’m an introvert
I’m good at
creativity and having a good laugh
I’m very bad at…
Saying no…
My ideal day would be…
Walk, mini meditation, drawing, playing cards (open rummy) with my boys, beach stroll, wholesome dinner at home (my every Sunday!)
In weak moments…
I fret…
5 things I can’t live without…
My sons and husband, fresh veggie smoothie, sharpie pen for mandalas, walking shoes, peppermint essential oil
The Best advice I’ve ever been given…
Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life! Probably why I say it to my boys too much!
My philosophy…
Be kind
