The Holistic Home

Easily detox your home and save the planet while you're at it.
Learn the simple habit changes and small actions you can take to clear out the bad and in doing so, heal your body and help our world.

From the kitchen to the bedroom, our homes are full of conventional products we have come to trust.

The sad truth is so many of our current habits and products harm our health and hurt the earth.

The Holistic Home will guide you through each room of your home and show you exactly what habit changes you need to make and which products you need to swap for healthier, non-toxic, sustainable alternatives.
In 2011, it felt like my body was going to self-destruct. I had constant brain fog, everything I ate felt like it was out to get me, I battled severe adult acne, and I couldn’t get a good night’s sleep to save my life. My anxiety was through the roof and I felt utterly hopeless.

Then I was diagnosed with Celiac’s disease and my life did a 180. I couldn’t believe that detoxing one simple thing like gluten could cause such a positive shift in my wellbeing. At that moment, I started looking for other ways I could detox my life and realized there was so much to know in order to live a truly toxin-free life.

The benefits didn’t stop there. The more I cleared the nasty stuff out of my home, the more I realized that a toxin-free life went hand in hand with what was best for the planet. I discovered all the habit changes I needed to make were not only about bettering my own health, but healing our world too. As I got healthier, I was also making a positive impact on the world around me!

When I got the tenth call from a friend asking what toxin-free eco-friendly mattress she should get, a light bulb went on. I needed to take the years of research I’ve done, the hundreds of studies I’ve read, and all the products I’ve vetted and create one accessible resource for others who want to start their holistic living journey and be a force for good.
First and foremost, this ebook empowers and educates you on how to cultivate a healthier more eco-friendly home for you and your family. 

It saves you hours of time by sharing with you the top products and companies I've vetted that are doing better by our health and our planet.

Are your recommendations for products in the ebook affordable?

For each product in your home, I provide both a DIY option and a purchase option. When going the DIY route, you inevitably save money and spend time. On the flipside, you can nab any of the vetted products I suggest and spend money but save on time. I provide a range of products in some instances too so that you have budget friendly options if things are on the more expensive side.
