About Practical Healthy Homes

I am a Build Science Educator and Consultant.  I started Practical Healthy Homes, LLC to help people build healthy, resilient homes they can thrive in.

 

The book I wrote, Destination Blue Sky, talks about how my husband and I healed our own family from PANS, Mold and environmental illness, Lyme and co-infections, and cancer, by building a healthy home. I run the Facebook group Beyond Build Defects: Building a New Healthy Home.  I serve on the Board of Directors for the Building Biology Institute of North America. 

​

I have the following qualifications:​

• Certified Passive House Tradesperson (International Passive House Association)

• Triple-Certified Building Biologist: New Build Consultant (BBNC), Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist (EMRS), and Environmental Consultant (BBEC) (Building Biology Institute)

• Certified Permaculture Designer (Permaculture Institute of North America)​​​

​​

My Building a Healthy and Resilient Home class will teach you about every major decision you’ll need to make to build your healthy home. When you finish this class, you'll have a personalized requirements document for your healthy home. You'll understand why you made the decisions that you made, and you'll be able to hand that document to your architect or designer or design builder and say, this is what the home should look like and, more importantly, this is how it should be built. My Buying Healthy Land class will teach you how to find healthy land that's right for you - the first step in building your healthy home. 

 

I can also support you individually in designing your healthy home and making sure it gets built correctly.
