How to Take Action if You …
Going Green is NOT the Goal
Forget the pressure to be green. You don’t have to live green in order to live a healthier life. So many people start their journey to greener, more sustainable living and get overwhelmed by all of the possibilities, and feel like anything they do isn’t enough.
I’m here to tell you that anything you do is enough, but I’m also here to teach you how to do more. Homes we live in are a key part of the solution.
I help people who live in homes make simple swaps for upgrading and replacing items for everyday use and in home projects.
My goal is to teach you how to make simple choices to create a better, more comfortable home for you and your family.
Help Your Clients Create Better Lives
Healthier, more comfortable homes are in high demand. Knowing and communicating the specific features of your homes that contribute to healthier, more comfortable living helps your buyers, owners, and occupants have the peace of mind of a better home.
Distinguishing your homes with green home certification brings the long-lasting validation that your homes not only look good, but also perform well!
Adding performance and intention to the many systems of a home – from structure to finishes – offers your clients healthier, safer and more comfortable homes.
My goal is for you to help your clients create better lives. Are you ready to get started?
My goal is to help you learn how to make simple choices to create a better, more comfortable home. As you make small changes you will naturally transition your lifestyle – no stress involved!
Creating a better home doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be intentional.

Starts With Us
We are facing many big challenges in our world. Trust me, I know it can be challenging and overwhelming. The fact is, each of us holds the world in our hands. It is OUR challenge. Each of us are responsible for what we bring into our homes and lives. It starts with US.
Everything is truly tied together:
- Our health and our home
- Our home and our world
- Our health and our world
Many of the products used to create our homes and how we live:
- make us sick (often without knowing it)
- impact our safety, health and comfort
- create by-products that hurt us and our world
- build up over time in our bodies and our world
We don’t know what steps to take, until we learn how to get started.
