Yes, this course will be a wonderful companion to working with an architect.  The course is going to help you get clear on your goals so you can confidently express your goals to your team.  It will also introduce the most important sustainable and healthy home design concepts that your architect might not be familiar with.  The more information and clarity you can bring to the discussions with your architect, the more successful your project will be.

Yes!  While the best time to learn this info and get clear on your project goals is as early as you can, it's never too late in the design phase to figure out your goals and understand how to make a healthy home.

No.  This is an introductory course that teaches you the first steps to designing a home.  You'll learn the value of creating a sustainable, health and wellness focused home, you'll figure out your project goals so that you stay on track throughout the entire design and construction process, saving you time, money and heartache, and you'll learn the key design strategies that need to be included in your renovation or new build.

Module 2 of the course is all about finding clarity in your project goals and creating a priorities list so you know exactly what is important to you and your family.  Being very clear on your desired outcomes simplifies the decision making process, saving you time, and allows you to effectively communicate with your design and construction team so you know your home will be built the way you want it without making costly design changes through the design and construction phases.  Module 3 teaches you design strategies that can save you money throughout all the days living in your future home.

Yes it will!  This course covers universal information about the dangers of unhealthy homes and materials, walks you through how to create your priorities, and teaches you the most important design strategies for a healthy and sustainable home.  All of this information is applicable no matter where in the world you live. 

The Healthy Materials Guide bonus is US specific. Though many of the products can be purchased globally. 

I know how hard it is to find the time for anything extra, so I made this course as efficient as possible!  I recommend taking 3-4 weeks to go through this course.  You can expect to spend about 2 hours each week to go through the course material and do the accompanying work.

Forever!  You will never lose access to the course.  This is perfect if you're just starting to think about your renovation or new build but aren't quite in the design phase yet.  You can study the course material now (which will set you up for massive success to be so well prepared in advance), then review it again as your design project gets closer.

You can!  You don't need an architect to design a sustainable, health and wellness focused house for you, but you do need to understand some key design features that belong in eco-friendly and healthy homes. This course gives you the background knowledge so you know what to include in your home and why they're so important.

That is a very risky move.  There is SO MUCH misinformation online and in the construction trade about healthy and sustainable homes.  Most information online is not coming from expert sources and much of it is inaccurate.  And there is a lot of conflicting information!  There's also a lot of greenwashing (falsely saying something is healthy and eco-friendly).  Plus it will take a lot longer to hunt and peck around the internet trying to find the information you're looking for.

This course also goes deep into understanding your project goals so you know exactly what you need to do to your house to make it the eco-friendly,  healthy, calm, and comfortable home you want it to be.
