The HappyNEST is not a linear programme.
It is a living ecosystem.
Some people begin at the Hearth.
Some arrive through the Podcast.
Some come seeking Tools for themselves or their children.
All paths are valid.
What matters is that, over time:
- safety is established
- the heart opens
- truth is honoured and
- wholehearted living becomes possible
The Tools are not prescriptions, but companions.
"You are supported."
Integration | Support | Self-Realisation
The Tools are here to support people wherever they are — children, parents, adults, families, educators.
Guided by the RAINBOW Arc of The HappyNEST,
they offer gentle, practical ways to understand and
honour the inner world while nurturing acceptance
and harmony in relationships.
The 7 principles of the RAINBOW Arc, rooted in Ancient Greek wisdom and holistic living, support: emotional literacy
self-awareness
creative expression
embodied wellbeing
Tools may include:
Human Design
Colour Mirrors & the language of colour
Essential oils (aroma as emotional language)
Books, oracle cards, journaling
RAINBOW Bears (play and storytelling)
creativity and expression (RAINBOW Letters)
“You can explore gently.
You don’t have to do this alone.”
The HappyNEST is a living ecosystem
where the hearth creates safety,
the heart reveals truth, and
gentle tools support the journey
toward wholehearted living.

"A different language is a different vision of life"
Federico Fellini
Colour Mirrors is a gentle self-reflection system.
It uses colour as a language of the emotions and the soul.
Each colour reflects different emotional states, strengths, challenges, and life themes, helping us understand what is alive in us right now and what is asking for care, balance, or expression.
Rather than telling us who we should be, Colour Mirrors invites us to notice who we are becoming, using colour as a mirror rather than a label.
It supports self-awareness, emotional literacy, and compassionate choice-making, especially during times of change, transition, or healing.
Colour Mirrors uses colour as a mirror for the heart, revealing what is ready to
be seen, felt, and gently transformed.
For children and families
Colours help feelings speak.
Colour Mirrors gives children and adults a shared, non-threatening way to talk about emotions, needs, and
inner experiences without pressure or judgement.
Where words feel too heavy, colour tells the truth softly.
Essential Oils help the body feel safe enough for the heart to open.
Essential oils as emotional language
At The HappyNEST, essential oils are not used to fix or force change.
They are used as aroma messengers.
Essential oils speak directly to the limbic system, the part of the brain that holds memory, emotion, safety, and belonging.
This means their influence is felt before it is understood, bypassing logic and reaching the places where words often cannot.
Rather than asking us to think differently, they invite us to feel differently.
How they work,
gently explained
When we inhale an essential oil, its aroma sends a signal to the brain that can:
soothe the nervous system
awaken forgotten feelings
bring buried emotions to the surface or
create a sense of grounding, safety, or clarity
Each oil carries its own emotional tone.
Some calm. Some open the heart.
Some support courage, grief, joy, or rest.
The body responds intuitively.
There is no right or wrong reaction.
The HappyNEST philosophy
Essential oils do not tell us what to feel. They invite us to notice what we are feeling. They create a bridge between the body and the heart, offering a safe sensory entry point for those who may find talking, analysing, or “doing the work” overwhelming.
This makes them especially supportive for:
- sensitive souls
- neurodivergent children and adults
- people carrying trauma
- those beginning their inward journey
For children and families
For children, essential oils act like emotional companions. A scent can become a signal for calm, bedtime, focus, comfort, or reassurance. They help children build emotional literacy through the senses, long before they have the words.
“We work with doTERRA essential oils for their ethos, quality, and science-led approach to wellness.”
If aroma is the language of emotion,
then Human Design is the language of inner wiring. 🌈🧭
Human Design is a gentle map of
how your energy works.
It shows how you’re designed to make decisions, use your energy, relate to others, and move through life with less resistance and more ease.
It’s not about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering yourself.
Human Design weaves together ancient wisdom and modern science to offer a practical insight into:
- how you’re meant to respond to life
- what drains you and what nourishes you
- how to honour your natural rhythm rather than forcing yourself to fit expectations
At The HappyNEST, Human Design is used as a permission slip.
A way to say: you’re not broken, you’re built differently.
Just as scent bypasses the mind and speaks directly to the heart,
Human Design bypasses comparison and speaks directly to your truth,
helping you live, parent, work, and relate in ways that feel aligned, kind, and sustainable.
The RAINBOW Bears:
gentle emotional companions
If Human Design is the map, then the RAINBOW Bears are the companions who walk the path with you. 🧸🌈
The RAINBOW Bears help feelings find colour, language, and kindness.
Each bear represents one colour and core feelings from the RAINBOW Arc of The HappyNEST, helping children and adults recognise, name, and befriend their inner world.
They offer a soft, playful way to explore big feelings like belonging, safety, courage, balance, and joy, without needing to explain, fix, or rush anything.
Through story, colour, imagination, and presence, the RAINBOW Bears help emotions feel safe to be felt, shared, and understood.
They’re a gentle bridge between emotions and expression, supporting emotional literacy, self-regulation, and connection.
The RAINBOW Bears are little guardians of the heart, teaching us that every feeling belongs.
They help the heart feel seen,
the body feel safe and
the inner child feel held.
