Anyone who enters the retreat & yoga space Essi designed mentions its beautiful energy. Many say the space is like a temple.

SPACES OF wellbeing
I’m Essi Koski-Lammi, a conscious interior designer and intuitive business mentor.
I hold an MSc in Business Studies (2011) and a Diploma in Interior Design from the Interior Design Institute (2024). My work brings together interior design, international business, marketing and brand expertise, deep intuitive insight and over 20 years of experience in holistic wellbeing, energy healing and meditation.
I have lived in six countries and travelled the world. I love spending time in nature, I meditate daily and eat mostly organic, plant-based food.
My Philosophy
As long as I can remember, I have looked at spaces from a deeper perspective. The spaces around us are deeply connected to the spaces within us. They influence how we feel, think, live, rest, work and connect with ourselves and others. They shape how we experience the present moment and how we build our future. They are also deeply connected to our holistic health and wellbeing.
This is the philosophy behind Spaces of Wellbeing. I approach every project by looking beyond the physical space, considering its purpose, vision and higher potential, the wellbeing of the people who inhabit it, and the feeling and energy it should hold.
My second home, designed by Essi, has become a guest favourite on Airbnb. Guests often say they feel at home and at peace there.
My Intuitive Edge
A space can look beautiful and still not feel right. My intuitive perspective allows me to look beyond what is immediately visible and consider the atmosphere, energy and deeper feeling of a space. Through intuitive insight and space energy clearing, I create spaces that feel harmonious and good to be in.
My Commercial Edge
Your physical space is an essential part of how people experience your brand and products. I understand how a brand must communicate across every touchpoint to create a coherent brand experience, and how the built environment directly influences customer perception and buying behaviour. Naturally, I evaluate spatial flow, how people move through an interior, how products are presented, and whether the layout actively supports your commercial goals.
Before starting my own business, I spent several years working with global lifestyle brands in marketing, media and branding. My background ensures that your space is not only visually compelling, but also strategically aligned with your brand identity.
My Wellbeing Edge
I consider the wellbeing of both people and the planet. The space should support the wellbeing and health of the people who live or work there, and be a safe, relaxing environment where they can feel comfortable and inspired.
I favour natural and healthy materials, natual and organic textiles, ergonomic furniture, clutter free layouts that relax the nervous system and sustainable solutions, while incorporating second-hand and vintage pieces to my designs. Plants are always an important part of my design increasing the nature connection.

Essi has a unique ability to understand the space and its energy, and it was amazing to see how the space came alive in her hands, bringing harmony to what had been a chaotic worksite. As a designer, Essi is bold and open. It felt natural and inspiring to do design work with Essi, and I highly recommend her both as a collaborator and as an interior designer.
