who are we?

PJ Harlow Wellness is the original home of Forensic and Holistic Mold Consulting. Our work was born out of necessity, created to bring intelligence, structure, and ethical grounding to an industry often clouded by confusion and extremes.

Founded by PJ and Peter Harlow, our fully virtual practice supports clients worldwide who want to understand the health of their home and protect their wellbeing. Together, we’ve redefined what modern mold consulting looks like, merging science, strategy, and advocacy into one collaborative process.

We integrate the disciplines of microbial forensics, remediation, functional medicine, environmental health, building performance, and the home microbiome into a unified framework that helps people identify issues in their home, interpret the findings, and manage the path to resolution.

At our core, we’re investigators, educators, and advocates for better indoor health. Our goal is simple: to help you make informed, confident decisions about your home, your health, and your next steps.

What do we do?

We help homeowners and homebuyers bring structure to complex, health-driven projects. Most people come to us knowing what they want but unsure how to get there, who to hire, what to prioritize, or when to take each step. We establish the framework and cadence that every successful project requires.

We begin by assessing the personal and practical sides of each case, then build a structured plan to guide every phase. Whether you are remediating an existing home or evaluating a potential new one, we coordinate and oversee the process from start to finish, ensuring that each decision aligns with both the science and the sequence that drives true success.

This role fills a critical gap in the industry. By translating technical findings into strategy and bridging communication between professionals, we bring the continuity and accountability that mold projects rarely have. Our work ensures that complex environmental goals are carried out efficiently, effectively, and with the care these health-based projects deserve.

We do not perform remediation. We make sure yours is done right.

PJ Harlow, Forensic Microbial Consultant

PJ Harlow, FMC, WRT, TCST, UFT

PJ Harlow is the founder and CEO of PJ Harlow Wellness, Inc. She helps families navigate high-stakes decisions involving mold, water damage, and complex home-environment concerns.

For more than eight years, PJ has guided families through mold and moisture investigations, water-damage recovery, remediation projects, and home-purchase decisions. She is known for seeing the full picture: the property conditions, the available evidence, the family’s concerns, the financial realities, the practical constraints, and the consequences of every possible path forward.

PJ has developed a role many families need but rarely know exists: an independent, client-side environmental advisor who helps them make informed decisions before committing to testing, remediation, a contractor, or a home purchase. She is not the inspector, remediator, laboratory, or product company. Her responsibility is to the family, the home, and the decisions in front of them.

Her work is centered on strategy, discernment, and client advocacy. PJ helps families understand what may be happening, what still needs to be clarified, what each option could reasonably require, and where their time, energy, and resources are most likely to make a meaningful difference. She helps clients weigh risk against cost, disruption, scope, timing, and likely outcomes, so they can make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and direct their resources where they are most likely to matter.

PJ helps clients navigate every stage of a project, from preparing for inspections and selecting qualified professionals to evaluating contractor proposals, planning cleaning and verification, and adapting when new information changes the scope. She turns a confusing, expensive, and emotionally exhausting process into a clearer path forward.

PJ built this practice after water damage and mold disrupted her own family’s life. That experience shaped her commitment to families who are overwhelmed by conflicting recommendations, incomplete information, and systems that can put profit ahead of people. Today, she and her team have supported thousands of families across the United States and internationally through consulting, education, and practical project guidance.

PJ’s Education and Training

PJ’s training spans building science, psychrometrics, water damage and restoration, microbial and chemical contamination, remediation, cleaning, and health-focused environmental education.

She holds the IICRC Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) certification, as well as the IICRC Trauma and Crime Scene Technician (TCST) certification. Her training also includes certifications and education through Healthy Family Formula, IEST, and OSHA, including a Master Health Coaching Certification from the Healthy Family Formula Practitioner Training Academy and a Bio-Med Health Coaching Certification from Epidemic Answers.

Over the past eight years, PJ has mentored under and learned from inspectors and remediation professionals, developing practical insight into investigation, scope development, drying and remediation decisions, contractor workflows, cleaning, and post-remediation verification.

Her judgment is grounded in formal training, direct client advocacy, and years of practical experience helping families navigate the technical, financial, and human realities of complex home-environment projects.

Peter Harlow, Forensic Microbial Consultant

**Peter Harlow, AMRT, WRT**

Peter Harlow is the co-founder and Lead Virtual Investigator at PJ Harlow Wellness. He specializes in the detailed analysis of the information that determines whether a home-environment case is understood correctly.
With more than eight years of forensic mold consulting experience and involvement in more than 2,000 inspection and remediation projects, Peter reviews inspection reports, laboratory data, moisture findings, building conditions, remediation scopes, and post-remediation verification results. He is skilled at identifying what the evidence supports, where the information is incomplete, and which conclusions may be premature, unsupported, or inconsistent with the conditions described.

Peter is known for his ability to find the details that can change the direction of a case. He looks beyond surface-level conclusions to identify patterns in moisture history, water intrusion, building conditions, inspection methods, testing limitations, and proposed remediation work. His analysis helps reveal whether a recommendation is appropriately supported, whether additional investigation may be needed, and whether the work is being considered in the proper sequence.

He brings a methodical, evidence-driven perspective to complex cases. His work helps clients move beyond fear-based decisions and toward a clearer understanding of the facts, the remaining uncertainties, and the questions that matter most before making a significant investment in a home or remediation project.

Peter is an IICRC Certified Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) and Applied Microbial Remediation Technician (AMRT). He also has independent home-inspection experience, which informs his understanding of water intrusion, moisture patterns, building conditions, drying, and remediation workflow.

His interest in this work began with his own family’s experience. Peter watched his wife, PJ go from healthy and active to unable to care for herself within months while their home was affected by severe water damage and Stachybotrys. He understands the fear, uncertainty, financial pressure, and relationship strain that can arise when one partner is ill and the path forward is unclear.

Before becoming a forensic mold consultant, Peter spent seven years as a Crisis and Recovery Coach and Spiritual Mentor, guiding hundreds of men through trauma, addiction, mental-health challenges, and codependency. That background informs the way he supports families today, particularly when partners are processing the same situation differently. He helps clients engage with the evidence, communicate concerns more clearly, and approach difficult decisions with greater steadiness and perspective.
