The Holistic Home Ebook

Easily detox your home, live more sustainably,
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 the earth.

Whether you live in an apartment in a city or a home in the burbs, it's absolutely possible (and actually fun!) to work toward a holistic home. 

The Holistic Home guides you room-by-room through your home to learn exactly how to live a more sustainable, healthy, eco-friendly life.
When I got into organic farming I learned an incredible lesson.

Growing the most nutritious and delicious food imaginable for myself and those I fed had tons of perks. I got stronger, my health improved, my relationship with my body healed, and I got to hang out with a ton of adorable chickens every day, so of course,  it was awesome. 

What I discovered was the benefits of regenerative agriculture extended beyond just my health. As I got healthier, I saw firsthand how my animals became healthier and our local ecosystem started to thrive (can you say hello honeybees?).

I realized it’s a positive feedback loop. The healthier the earth is, the healthier the animals are, and the healthier we are!

This is the true meaning of holistic - realizing we are part of a whole.

I took this holistic principle and started using it in my everyday life. I learned first-hand all the opportunities there were in my own home to do better for my health, and in turn, the health of the planet. From the kitchen to the bedroom - I used this holistic mindset and boosted mine and my family’s wellbeing. We bid goodbye to digestive issues, we slept better, and our mental health soared (just to name a few perks).

A light bulb went on when I got the tenth call from a friend asking what toxin-free eco-friendly mattress she should get. 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.

It’s the guidance to help you understand the WHY behind things like composting and shopping organic as well as the HOW.

It’s the cheerleader you need to help you through those small habit changes in your home.

It’s a place for you to learn without judgment of what you’re able to accomplish right now so that we can ensure a better tomorrow.

"Imagine you have an amazing friend who up and started her own adorable, eco-friendly farm and knew everything about living your best life in tune with Mother Nature - and was also somehow really not annoying about it. Reading The Holistic Home is like that - it’s inspired me to make my home a healthy, happy sanctuary, even in the bustle of New York City, in ways I never even thought of before. It’s helped me take the reins on my own holistic home.  My husband ran out of deodorant the other day, and I whipped him up a batch from scratch! He was completely amazed and it made us both feel proud, happy, and self-sufficient - plus our pits smell and feel great. Her willingness to joyfully live a better life out loud has made me excited and willing to, too! We’re making really fun changes around our house that make us feel great and help the earth, and now we’re spreading the love. Thank, you thank you for this wonderful book! ​"

"When I read The Holistic Home it felt like Kelsey was my personal, loving, eco-friendly, holistic living coach. She made me feel so at ease with all the information she presents, which is a lot. It totally blew my mind how much is wrong with products I have trusted for so long or habits I thought had no effect on the world, but she has this way of not making you feel guilty and helping you realize you have a say in helping and fixing the world. I am so excited to try all the stuff she recommends, like making my own cleaning supplies and shopping at better clothing companies. I am so grateful for this book and I am telling everyone about it. Thank you Kelsey for all your hard work, you inspire me!"
-Rene T.
"I was so excited to order Kelsey’s book. I’ve been working on making my house greener ever since I was diagnosed with PCOS and struggled with infertility. Kelsey makes being eco-friendly so very easy. She has done all the work and research for you! (I’m planning to print the page on recycling out so that everyone in my house knows what to look for.) I also have been using her handy cleaning recipes and my house smells amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to make sustainable, more eco-friendly choices. "
​-Cecilia C.
"I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to make a change in their life and home, whether full makeover or small steps. It is a detailed explanation, along with DIY recipes, to work through each room in the home and then get started on your lifestyle. The insights along with instructions are well written and thoughtful. It is a great read to get yourself motivated. I highly recommend it."
-Mike J.
"After hearing the dire report on climate change, I was motivated to start making more sustainable choices within my own home. The Holistic Home ebook was so useful yet so straightforward—page after page of simple, easy-to-implement sustainability tips that will improve your life (and the Earth) without having to break the bank. My favorite thing about this ebook is that it contains links to websites, sources, and products to help me make better choices for my family and the environment."

"This was the best book I’ve read in a while! I always felt like I ran an eco-friendly household, but this book was very eye opening to what I could improve on. Some times doing things the eco-friendly way can feel overwhelming, but Kelsey really breaks it down room by room and makes it all easier to understand. Beautiful book with a beautiful message behind it. Thanks Kelsey!"
