Hear from Nuria
Before You Decide
Nuria Muñoz Arce , Founder of Habitarmonia Academy, systemic approach visionary, award-winning biophilic designer, and co-organiser of the Global Symposium on Mind, Body and Space.
"This course gave me clarity, language and confidence in work I've felt called to for years."
Graduate, Habitarmonia AcademyA Journey into a
New Way of Designing
By the end of this program, you won't just know biophilic design on the surface. You'll command a complete, evidence-based language , from scientific frameworks to user research, sustainable materials, and application across sectors , and you'll leave with a complete Visionary Project and your official Certification as a Biophilic & Well-Being Designer.
This is an identity shift, not just a skills upgrade:
The global wellness real estate market is projected to reach $580 billion by 2027. Clients are actively seeking designers who can speak the language of wellbeing with evidence, not just intuition.
"After certification, I finally have the confidence to counter client objections with real evidence , and to offer biophilic design as an added service that increases the value of my work."
Ana Garcia Monfort, Interior Designer, Spain
The Market is Moving
Demand for wellness-certified designers is growing fast. The professionals who certify now will be the ones clients call first.
You Have the Intuition
Many practitioners already sense what this program teaches. What they lack is the scientific language, the methodology, and the credential to act on it professionally.
The Gap is Real
Knowing that nature heals is not the same as being able to design for it with precision, communicate its value to clients, and measure the results.
"The gap between where you are now and where you want to be can close in five months."

Before
"I was looking for direction."
"I felt I had an intuitive vision, but I needed structure and language."
"I wondered whether design and nature could play a more meaningful role in health."
"I wanted to bring logic, research and intuition together."
After
"I feel more confident."
"I found my words."
"I now design with purpose."
"I no longer design only for aesthetics, but for the nervous system, emotional safety and wellbeing."

Meet Nuria
Muñoz Arce
Nuria Muñoz Arce
Systemic Approach Visionary · Award-Winning Biophilic Designer · Founder of Habitarmonia Academy & Habitarmonia Ecosystem · Co-organiser, Global Symposium on Mind, Body and Space
For over 20 years, Nuria has worked internationally at the intersection of biophilic design, environmental psychology, neuroarchitecture, and regenerative systems thinking. Her career spans award-winning interior and architectural projects, retail strategy, brand design, and international speaking , from the Biophilic Africa Conference and NeuroUrbanism Symposium to Proptech Connect.
What makes Nuria's teaching singular is her systemic approach: she doesn't teach biophilic design as a set of patterns to apply. She teaches it as a living language, one that integrates the planetary, systemic, psychosocial, and individual dimensions of how spaces shape human beings. Her framework, the Flourish Tree Model, is the structural backbone of this entire certification.
As co-organiser of the Global Symposium on Mind, Body and Space, Nuria sits at the intersection of the world's leading researchers, designers, and practitioners working on the future of the built environment. When you study with her, you're not just learning a curriculum , you're entering a field.
You Learn from the Field, Not Just the Classroom
This program is co-facilitated by a carefully curated circle of leading practitioners and thinkers, each bringing deep, lived expertise to the journey. Our guest experts span the full spectrum of disciplines that shape the future of wellbeing design: from environmental psychologists and neuroscientists who study how the built environment shapes the human nervous system, to biophilic design pioneers applying nature-based intelligence to real-world projects, to regenerative systems thinkers reimagining how spaces can restore both people and planet; and regenerative design communicators who help you articulate the transformative value of your work with clarity, soul, and conviction.
