A Healthy Home Assessment is a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to provide you with a road map on how to create a healthier home or office that is more resilient. Preliminary objective testing of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) levels and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) levels will help quantify the baseline state of health of your home. In a nonjudgmental manner, I will assess the exterior and interior of the property looking for areas where potential operational and/or health risks are present or could arise in the future and where efficiency upgrades could be made in order to help reduce operating costs. Unfortunately, homes rarely come with operator manuals (which is a true failure of the system), but I like to take the time to teach homeowners how to operate their homes for optimal performance and longevity.

Topics analyzed and discussed in a Healthy Home Assessment:
- Property Site Features
- Building Materials and Construction
- Furnishings
- Indoor Air Quality
- Water Quality Issues
- Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) Survey

The Healthy Home Assessment is a crucial step on the road to living a healthier life. The assessment empowers clients with the awareness of how their indoor environments may be affecting their health. With the results and recommendations from the assessment, homeowners can take the opportunity to make an informed choice as to what steps they are willing to make in order to detoxify their environments to encourage optimal health.

We can only be as healthy as the environment we live in. By testing the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) of your home/office you will identify what your body is being exposed to and will be able to develop a specific remediation plan to target those particular issues.

I am equipped and able to test for:
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Particulates Toxic Gases (CO, CO2, etc.)
- Mold/Mycotoxins Microbial
- Volatile Organic Compounds (mVOCS) (e.g. gases produced by molds a.k.a “mold farts”)

I help identify, quantify and remediate Electromagnetic Fields ( EMFs also commonly referred to as Electromagnetic Radiation EMR) health threats in your home/office environments. EMR threats are virtually invisible - you cannot see, taste or smell them - making it hard for property owners to properly assess the extent of their EMR environments. In addition to testing the quality of the Earth’s Electromagnetic Fields inside your home, I have professional grade meters designed specifically to detect and quantify the four man-made electromagnetic radiation exposures:
- Electric Fields
- Magnetic Fields
- Radio Frequencies
- Dirty Electricity (Microsurge Electrical Pollution)

During an EMR assessment, clients are educated on the fundamentals of EMR and how it affects ones health based on published scientific research. By the end of an assessment clients will have a clearer idea of what EMR is, how it affects their bodies, what their current exposure levels are at home (or at work), and detailed steps they can take to reduce their exposure levels.

Are you envisioning building your home or renovating your current home? Why not make sure your efforts are done in a manner that will help create a healthier home, one that is health supporting rather than hindering. I can work alongside architects, builders and installers in order to ensure your dream of a healthier home is realized. With over a decade of experience with both green building materials and techniques, I am capable of communicating with all parties involved in the construction process. It is common for homeowners to feel overwhelmed with the numerous elements that go into building or renovating a new home. I aim to make the process easier for you by offering advice, based on experience and Building Biology principles, in order to make sure you get the healthy home you are hoping for. From researching materials to helping pound in the last nail to make sure it gets done as specified, I am ready and able to help.

When purchasing a new home, individuals commonly have pretty specific requirements, such as: # of bedrooms, # of bathrooms, square footage, acreage, etc. Very rarely, individuals ask a very important question: will this home support my health or hinder it? For most individuals, a home is one of the biggest purchases they will make in their lives. Our homes play an integral role in the quality of life we lead. With a Home Purchase Evaluation, we can evaluate the health supporting nature of a home by identifying potential health hazards that may be present before purchasing a property. Evaluations offer buyers a sense of awareness. Awareness gives buyers the opportunity to make informed choices as to which health risks they are willing to accept or avoid in order to get the property they want.
