Healthy Home Consulting in Melbourne and Beyond
Discover how Wellness at Home can create healthier, more harmonious homes
Wellness at Home offers a unique combination of building biology and feng shui consulting under one roof. Whether you are building, renovating, or simply reassessing your existing home, Narelle McDonald brings both the science and the art of healthy living environments together to support your family’s wellbeing.
Building biology and feng shui services are available onsite across Melbourne and remotely for clients throughout Australia. On-site environmental health consultations are available across Melbourne and Victoria.
Building Biology
Building biology is the study of how the built environment affects human health. As a certified building biologist and former President of the Australasian Society of Building Biologists (ASBB), Narelle takes a low tox, lifestyle-led approach — helping you make practical, informed choices about building materials, indoor air quality, and the design of your home.
Wellness at Home’s building biology services are designed for health-conscious homeowners who are building a new home, undertaking a renovation, or reviewing their current living environment. There is a package to suit every stage of your project — from a single focused question to a comprehensive design review from the ground up.
Feng Shui Practitioner
Wellness at Home practises Flying Star Feng Shui — also known as Xuan Kong — one of the most comprehensive and classical forms of feng shui. Rather than surface-level placement of objects, Flying Star Feng Shui analyses the distribution of energy (Qi) throughout your home using compass readings, and the age and orientation of the building.
Narelle offers tailored feng shui consultations for existing homes, new builds, and renovation projects. Each assessment results in a detailed report covering colour recommendations, furniture placement, decor, and practical guidelines for harmonising the energies in your home. Consultations are available onsite in Melbourne or remotely for clients across Australia.
Environmental Health On-site Consultations
Many of the products we use every day — cleaning sprays, personal care items, food storage containers, and air fresheners — contribute to a chemical load in our homes that is easy to overlook. Combined with common indoor allergens such as dust, dust mites, and mould, these exposures can have a real and cumulative impact on your family’s health.
Narelle offers on-site consultations across Melbourne and Victoria that focus on two key areas: a Feng Shui on-site assessment, and a Household Chemical & Allergen Review. These consultations are well suited to families dealing with allergies, asthma, skin sensitivities, constant fatigue, or recurring illness, as well as anyone seeking a proactive approach to their indoor environment. Each consultation includes a pre-visit questionnaire, on-site visit, and a written summary of findings and recommendations.
Why Choose Wellness at Home?
Narelle McDonald is one of very few consultants in Melbourne offering both building biology and feng shui services under one consultancy. This combined approach means your home can be assessed for physical health — covering materials, air quality, and environmental toxins — as well as energetic balance and harmony. The result is a home environment that truly supports your wellbeing.
As a former President of the ASBB, current ASBB member, and Low Tox Life certified coach, Narelle brings deep industry expertise and a genuine passion for conscious, healthy living to every consultation. Remote services are available Australia-wide for both building biology and feng shui.

What our clients have to say…
We have been working with Narelle across several projects, and this is now the second home where we have engaged her services. Narelle has supported and guided us with Feng Shui for our home and design, geomancy, Chinese astrology for our entire family, building biology for our homes, reducing EMF exposure, and generally creating healthier and more harmonious ways of living.
Throughout all our dealings, Narelle has been incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, switched on, and genuinely supportive. Her guidance and insight have helped our family create a more abundant, prosperous, happy, and healthy life. The whole process has also opened our minds to understanding the world, energetics, and the elements in a completely new and positive way.
I am a co-owner and director of The Sociable Weaver Group, Martin Builders, Small Giants Developments, and the Cape Paterson Eco Village. I have worked in the building industry for more than 25 years, with extensive experience across the built environment, including design, construction, landscaping, and sustainable development on many projects. Drawing on that experience, I can honestly say that I see Narelle’s services as one of the most valuable and important parts of the entire process. Her work brings a level of alignment, wellbeing, and thoughtfulness that is truly unique.
We are about to purchase a new farm, and Narelle will be one of the very first people we call on to help guide us through all of the above as we move into this new place and space.
Thank you so much, Narelle. The work you do is incredibly important and genuinely life changing.
