Hey there, I'm Rachel Zimmer! I'm a nurse practitioner and social researcher on a mission to make life better for everyone. I've created programs that boost mental and physical well-being through health and food access. And guess what? Your home plays a significant role in your health, too!

During my visit to Sweden, I discovered the beauty of hygge ("hyo-ga") and spent time learning how to curate a peaceful and connected home for my family. Thoughtful design can bring peace and healing to people.

Hygge is a Danish concept that encourages finding small moments of connection and contentment in your surroundings. It invites you to slow down, savor moments, incorporate items that bring joy into your home, and engage in self-compassionate acts.

Creating a space where you feel safe and connected to loved ones is crucial for your mental and physical wellness. I want to share what I have learned to help you curate a hygge home and enjoy the benefits of this beautiful concept.

I hope to use this webpage to help you find items for your home that promote self-compassion, build connections with others, and inspire you. These blog posts will explain how the things you surround yourself with at home impact your health and well-being and provide practical tips for consciously curating items that promote well-being. As a free thank you for reading, I am including a free resource here: Creating a Home You'll Love: Hygge-Inspired Strategies
