Building a Healthy and Resilient Home Virtual Cohort
Bought the class, but can’t find the time to sit down and self study? Or want to buy the class, but are worried you won’t complete it?
I've got you covered with my new learning cohort — 10 weeks of structured teaching, personal feedback, and a community of people building in your climate, right alongside you.
This cohort is for you if you're still 12+ months from breaking ground and are making — or about to make — the major decisions that shape a healthy, resilient home. If you're already mid-construction, one-on-one consulting may be a better fit — just ask.

CLASSES
Buying Healthy Land (and Keeping it that way!) Refine what is most important to you in a property, how to screen for and mitigate various environmental toxins, and how to find a realtor – in just a few hours. I'll also teach you options beyond Glyphosate for maintaining vegetation near your home. (Value: $49.99)
Building a Healthy and Resilient Home Every major decision you’ll need to make to build your healthy home. By the end, you'll have a personalized requirements document you can hand to your architect, designer, or design-builder and say, this is what the home should look like and, more importantly, this is how it should be built. (Value: $699.99)
HOW IT WORKS
5 LIVE SMALL-GROUP SESSIONS OVER ZOOM: I teach and answer questions about the curriculum. Then you head into climate-specific breakout rooms to work through your plans with peers building in similar conditions. (Value: $300)
Session 1 (Week 2): Buying healthy land (Buying Healthy Land class)
Session 2 (Week 4): Build science basics and home design (Building a Healthy and Resilient Home Modules 1-5)
Session 3 (Week 6): Wall and foundation assembly (BHRH Modules 6-9)
Session 4 (Week 8): Mechanicals, electrical, and plumbing (BHRH Modules 10-13)
Session 5 (Week 10): Finishes, landscaping, and contractors (BHRH Modules 14-16)
Can't make a session live? All sessions are recorded and posted within 24 hours.
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH
A COMPLETE DESIGN: By the end of the cohort, you'll have a full specification for your healthy home.
A CUSTOMIZED INSPECTION CHECKLIST: Covering 26 stages of construction, this checklist tells you, your inspector, and your contractor exactly what needs to be correct before moving to the next stage. It goes far beyond code minimum. It helps you catch issues before they become problems. I will customize it for the design that you have specified and for your climate. (Value: $650)
PERSONALIZED FEEDBACK: Every two weeks, I review your specific project and send back personalized written feedback. Not general comments — actual guidance on your plans. (Value: $650)
ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTING: After the live sessions wrap up, we’ll meet for an hour over Zoom so I can address any last questions about your specific plan. (Value: $150)
COMMUNITY AND ONGOING SUPPORT
YOUR COHORT COMMUNITY: You'll join a Whatsapp chat with other students building healthy homes in a similar climate, where I am present and answering questions for the full 10 weeks. The cohort will end but the community doesn’t– you can keep helping each other find contractors and subs and navigate construction, long after the class wraps up. (Value: Priceless)
ONGOING CONSULTING IF NEEDED: Once the cohort ends, I’m available at my regular $150 hourly rate - if you need it. It’s very possible you’ll get everything you need from the cohort!
Value: $2500
Cohort Price: $1500 for the first cohort. Limited to 10 people.
Price increases to $2000 for future cohorts.
Cohort begins the first week of September.
