My mission to create beautifully healthy homes.

In my early years, I struggled with several health issues. By my twenties, I needed to address the conditions. I spent a few years gathering a team of doctors. Each doctor prescribing extensive procedures, pills, injections and creams. While the bills and side effects mounted, the interventions failed to resolve the original conditions. After a few years, it was clear, the pharmaceutical approach was not working. And my original question, “What is causing this?” continued to go unanswered. I wanted to know the root cause of the illnesses. What was I doing, or not doing to create the problems. I had no interest in living on pills and coping with side effects. So, I asked each doctor the same question. Interestingly, I received the same answer over and over “we don’t know”.

Eventually, I realized it was up to me.

After that experience, I spent two decades exploring and unraveling each symptom. Through extensive, in-depth research and a health and wellness coach certification. I read every book I could get my hands on, attend classes, conferences and seminars, and found professionals with knowledge in creating real health and wellness. I discovered that proper nutrition, adequate sleep, plenty of exercise, emotional and spiritual wellbeing along with a clean and supportive environment are all essential elements in creating true health and wellness.

After years of research it was clear, our home was also a big part of the problem.

My research lead to a solid understanding of the health concerns found in modern homes and businesses. While wellness is a consideration in the design industry, through building codes and aspects like color and comfort. Creating true health and wellness goes much deeper. Each and every element must be carefully considered for its impact on the occupants health and wellbeing.

After identifying the problem, we designed a solution.
