Did you know …

Your home can make you seriously sick?

I didn’t.

Back in 2015, it took me over a year to figure out my own home was slowly killing me. Up until then, I’d always been under the impression that mold was no big deal.

Maybe it could cause a reaction like watery eyes, or hives for someone who was allergic to mold, but I don’t have a mold allergy.

And sure, if I was pressed harder, I’m sure I could conjure up a more serious mold circumstance, like an asthma attack or a lung infection, but those were all only supposed to effect severely immune compromised people in hospitals.

This was different.

I was never taught that water damage can cause more pathogenic molds to grow in your home. And certainly no one ever said that this could happen from humidity!

After my husband found our house was full of black mold, I learned that the fragments and mycotoxins that were created as a by product of the mold colonies in our crawlspace & walls, was causing systemic inflammation & immune reactivity in my body.

When inhaled, ingested or absorbed into the skin, mycotoxins and other inflammatory by-products of water damage can absolutely poison & harm human beings. You don’t have to be susceptible or sensitive. While some people are, it’s like smoking—eventually everyone can get cancer. And eventually mold can make anyone sick. It just arrives a bit different for everyone.

So— don’t feel bad if you are just getting here after a long journey of mysterious symptoms, misdiagnosis’s & years of unknown illness.

Most of the population is still completely unaware, and uninformed about the real risks of water damage & mold in their homes.


The Intersect between your health & your environment is paramount.

Unfortunately, the staggering rise in chronic illnesses and autoimmune disorders alongside the surging statistics of water-damaged buildings is rarely connected in the conventional world of health and the traditional practices of the building industries. Bringing needed awareness & advocacy to this topic, along with educating & consulting our clients and students on the how to remove & deal w/ moisture intrusion, mold, mycotoxins, & pathogenic bacteria in their homes is a massive part of what we do.


At this point, everyone has heard the quote…

“We spend 90% of our time indoors.”


During the Pandemic…

Indoor health became the new front runner on just about everyone’s goals & priority’s list.

In fact, during the height of COVID, the awareness surrounding mold illness literally exploded online. It was largely within the holistic-health, biohacking & functional medicine communities, but even wellness lifestyle sites like Kourtney Kardashian’s “Poosh” & Women’s Health spoke-out for the first time w/articles covering mold exposure and the dangers of water damage.

This was a monumental achievement for the underground mold communities and the chronically ill. Surely a good thing, this revelation of information seemed to be moving towards what we’ve all been fighting for, but this dramatic acceleration of attention also came with a downside, it continued to overly-saturate the industry with even more conflicting misinformation.

This brings us to our first, and most prominent obstacle for people still today—

People don’t know who or what information to trust.

Rightfully so.


the reality of mold hardships

When it comes to actually dealing with mold in real life, there are a number of obstacles, road blocks & legitimate hardships that add to the already existing stress & underlying sense of urgency that commonly accompanies mold.

The Mold Maze: Navigating Confusion and Finding Clarity

In our holistic mold consulting practice, we often encounter clients who have already started on their mold journey, having found themselves lost in a labyrinth of conflicting information and questionable practices. The initial panic of discovering mold led them to seek local solutions, often ending in a waste of money on unreliable, ambient air samples that declared their home's health to be "normal", even when mold problems still exist. Or, they might receive results stating the indoor air is comparatively similar to, or better than, the outside air, failing to address potential indoor mold sources.

Even when some mold is discovered (usually already known to the homeowner), chemical sprays and dry fogs are often prescribed as a treatment. These products are marketed with enticing claims of "no demolition remediation," guaranteed to be non-toxic, and promising to "eliminate mold and mycotoxins." However, the reality is that these solutions merely mask the problem. They may be enough to pass post-application air samples, creating a temporary illusion of resolution & security. But for the homeowner, this is just another layer of the onion to be peeled back, until the underlying mold issue inevitably resurfaces.

Much like whole-home disinfection and sterilization services, these traditional mold treatments might seem appealing. They often come with the promise of scientific backing, affordability, and a quick, non-invasive solution. However, in reality, they often fall short of what our clients truly need. Not only are these methods ineffective in addressing the root cause of the problem, but they can even exacerbate existing health symptoms.

The truth is, traditional mold “solutions” prioritize aesthetics and passing post testing over root cause analysis.

Traditional practices simply are not a fit for our health focused clientele.

They leave our homeowners feeling duped, manipulated, confused, and vulnerable in the face of unfamiliar jargon and conflicting narratives. It's like being gaslit in your own home, where your intuition is telling you something isn’t right, but you have no idea how to defend yourself. The imbalanced dynamic of this interaction further intensifies the sense of powerlessness, leaving homeowners with no clear path to protect their interests.

The goal of mold remediation should be to identify and fix the underlying conditions that allowed mold to grow in the first place. Simply masking the problem with chemicals or fogs won’t solve it, and it could even make you sicker.

We are Your Compass, Your North Star

Our clients & members are different.

  1. They're health-conscious, holistic-minded individuals who prioritize clean living and a discerning approach.

  2. They seek a deeper understanding and a root-cause solution, not just a temporary fix.

  3. They value strategic testing, detailed reports, a clear plan of action, and meticulous execution.

  4. They yearn for validation of their concerns and the expertise to navigate this complex process.

  5. They don't want to be pressured into unnecessary demolition or regret shortcuts that don't address the underlying issue.

  6. They prioritize long-term solutions. They don't want the constant frustration of no one being able to find the root cause, leading them to repeat the process over and over again.

  7. They acknowledge their learning curve and embrace a collaborative approach. They seek a knowledgeable partner, a solution architect who can translate industry complexities, co-create a strategic plan, and equip them with the knowledge to take control of the remediation process.

  8. They crave a transparent advisor who sets realistic expectations and guides them methodically (or step-by-step, conscientiously, or in detail) through each phase of the process. This includes delivering honest information, even if it's not what they want to hear. By providing a clear roadmaps and the experiences of others, we help them avoid the anxiety of analysis paralysis and the emotional toll of setbacks.

The Holistic Mold Consultant (HMC) Enters The Chat…

We don't play the traditional trifecta game that has FAILED homeowners over and over (the Client, the Inspector & the Remediation Company).

We believe in an evolved approach: The Core Four.

The 4th role, the Holistic Mold Consultant, empowers you, the homeowner, for the very first time.

Our role is to ensure you confidently navigate the murky waters of the mold industry. We act as translators and strategists, helping you understand the landscape, set realistic expectations, and build a team of experts aligned with your vision. We help you transition into your role as PROJECT MANAGER.

Slow Down and Strategize: The Antidote to Panic

The first step, however, is to slow down. We understand the urge to rush, the fear that mold is a ticking time bomb. But panic-driven decisions often lead to costly mistakes and exacerbate the problem. Remember, not all mold situations are emergencies. Identifying the urgency level and triaging your case are essential first steps.

This is where the HMC shines. We help you avoid the pitfalls of a 50-yard dash and embrace the strategic finesse of a chess game. We understand the critical order of operations and orchestrate a seamless, bio-individualized approach that prioritizes both your health and your home's well-being.

If you see yourself reflected in this philosophy, joining our practice through our OCP (Onboarding Client Program) is your ideal choice. It's a curated, yet scalable journey designed to guide you from confusion to clarity, empowering you to reclaim control of your home's health and create a home that reflects your holistic values and aspirations.

Don't let mold dictate your story.

What our clients are saying…

In our story, we had no idea we had mold.

We never smelled anything notable, our home was extra clean (we like things tidy) & we didn’t see ANY signs. I spent over a year of my life completely perplexed as to why my health was spiraling downward. My symptoms would wax and wane, come and go—until finally, near the end I lost my ability to talk without stuttering, and I could not function on my own.

It was by accident that my husband found a long-term, hidden leak in our bathroom wall. The growth extended into our crawl space, sub-flooring, and in our HVAC system which were all compromised with black mold.

It's fascinating, isn't it? We diligently visit the doctor, pop vitamins, fuel our bodies with greens and sweat it out at the gym. We even slather on fancy creams and serums, religiously… yet when it comes to the very environment we breathe in, the air we share with loved ones, we often fall short.

Take a deep breath. You're not alone.

I, too, fell victim to this blind spot. And the truth is, many of us do. We navigate a world of health advice, but somehow, our homes – our sanctuaries – remain a bit of a mystery.

Why isn't everyone shouting ‘MOLD’ from the rooftops?

Well, it's a knowledge gap, plain and simple.

Most people simply don't know their homes might be harboring unseen threats. They lack the awareness that water damage can lurk silently, that mold is commonly unseen, and the air we breathe could be far from pristine.

Mold in Homes: Women’s Intuition

Once you start connecting the dots, you'll be amazed at how quickly the pieces fall into place.

Your intuition will whisper, "Something's not quite right," and you'll notice things that once flew under the radar:

  • a lingering mustiness

  • a persistent cough

  • frequent sinus issues

  • chronic fatigue

  • the baby’s eczema

  • the kids/family are constantly sick

  • a sudden sensitivity to cleaning products…

It's like seeing your home through a new lens, one where hidden threats become clear and the path to a healthier environment unfolds before you.

The reality of the mold industry

It's a complex landscape, filled with moving parts and conflicting information. No wonder homeowners feel overwhelmed! How can you be expected to navigate this labyrinth of technical jargon and conflicting advice?

This is where we come in.

We get it. You're already juggling a million things, and the thought of adding "mold guru" to your resume can feel daunting. Years of research and advocacy for your own health have likely left you burnt out. And let's face it, tackling mold on your own, from DIY protocols to deciphering confusing reports, and finding legitimate, educated mold companies (who won’t make your spouse’s left eyebrow raise) can easily slip down the to-do list.

But what if you didn't have to?

Imagine a clear, structured path, designed just for you.

  1. We assess your unique situation and guide you every step of the way.

  2. We cut through the clutter, delivering only the most relevant and actionable information. We translate complex topics into bite-sized visuals and practical protocols, housed in our signature virtual resource library (exclusive to Healthy Home & Decon Package members).

  3. Working with us is like having a trusted partner by your side.

  4. We shoulder the stress, allowing you to focus your precious energy where it matters most – on creating a healthy haven for yourself and your loved ones.

  5. Working with us isn't just about mold; it's about reclaiming your energy and peace of mind.

  6. We empower you to focus on what matters most, while we expertly handle the rest.
