Barbara Huelat explores healing through design concepts in her two books, Healing Environments: Designing for the Body, Mind and Spirit, and Healing Environments: What’s the Proof?

A HEALING VISION

Healing environments are continually being redefined to include such qualities as safety, security, accessibility, sustainability, and evidence-based design. Additionally, key components in affecting health outcomes are place, change, people, comfort, senses, knowledge, empowerment, biophilia, spirit, and experience. In today’s world, we are challenged to look differently at humanity’s natural ability to heal; by designing for the whole patient—body, mind, and spirit—and integrating proven supporting evidence, we can create exceptional places.

Barbara Huelat explores these concepts in her two books, “Healing Environments: Designing for the Body, Mind and Spirit,” and “Healing Environments: What’s the Proof?”.
