Designing Your Healthy And Sustainable Home Shouldn't Be A Mystery!

 

But for most people, home design is a completely new experience.  And venturing into the unknown can cause fear and hold you back from getting started.  

It's normal to feel like...

You're afraid of getting the design wrong.

 You don't know how to communicate your ideas and goals with your contractor.

You're afraid of blowing your budget.

There is way too much involved in creating a healthy, sustainable house. You don't even know where to begin.

You've gone down so many research rabbit holes, and now you're so overwhelmed!

There's so much misinformation out there, you don't know what to believe.

 

Right now you're not quite sure how to design a home that will keep your family and the planet healthy.

But with the Healthy Home Design Toolkit,

You'll Have The Tools You Need To...

 

  • Make educated decisions about the home planning process
     
  • Create a functional and comfortable home layout 
     
  • Select healthy and sustainable material options
     
  • Decide what building methods to choose
     
  • Confidently share your decisions with your contractor and/or design team!

So you can create a home that works for your family,

supports your health and well-being,

and helps the planet.

This toolkit is right for you if...

~You’re planning to start or are in the process of designing your home renovation, addition or a new home build, and you want your new home to ‘fix’ all the things that aren’t working in your current home. 

 

~You worry about toxins and other undesirable air quality issues that are commonplace in typical homes, and you want your new home to be a safe and healthy place for your family.

 

~Your love for nature has inspired you to make sure your home is helping to protect the planet rather than continue to negatively impact its health.

 

~You need help figuring out the right choices to make for YOU and your specific home design needs and priorities.

 

~You’re afraid of getting the home design wrong and wasting money or being unhappy with the finished product.

 

~You’re working with an architect or designer that you love working with, but that doesn’t have the specific healthy home expertise you need, and you need the additional support to guide your design team toward the best solution for your goals.

 

~You don’t yet feel confident talking to contractors or designers about your specific healthy and sustainable design goals.

 

~You worry that contractors won’t understand the healthy and sustainable goals you’re trying to achieve,  and they'll lead you down the wrong path. 

 

~You just don’t know where to begin!

 

The healthy home design toolkit is designed to take you from feeling overwhelmed, unprepared, and lost...

to empowered, educated, excited, and prepared so you can create the perfect healthy home that meets your family’s goals and values.

 

 

By utilizing this toolkit, you will have...

 

~Nailed down your goals and priorities for your project.

I can’t wait to help you get there.

Getting Started Module

If you love the sound of living in a home that can make you and your family’s lives healthier, happier and easier, but you aren’t sure what a healthy home truly is, this pre-req module gives some great background info to get you up to speed. 

You can feel confident with the science backed, expert information provided in these short and informative videos.

Module 1: The Pre-Design Phase

There’s nothing more important than getting as prepared as possible from the very start of your design and build journey.  A prepared project helps minimize those nightmare stories you often hear from friends or see on home design TV shows.

This module follows my 10 step pre-design formula to get you fully prepared to start the design on the right path.

Designing a healthy and sustainable home that makes your life easier and more comfortable isn’t overly complicated, but there are a lot of extra things to think about.  This module provides the healthy and sustainable design solutions in an easy to follow flow.

Once you have the clarity on sustainable and healthy home design elements, decision making and communicating with builders and designers will be a breeze.

  • The Healthy Home Design checklist that organizes all the elements you can incorporate into your healthy and sustainable home design.  The checklist covers everything from whole house design strategies, exterior building design, and mechanical design to room-by room checklists.
  • Guides to help you determine your building method.  Will you go with traditional high-performance framing or a natural alternative like rammed earth?
  • Access to an introductory video on sustainable home design that’ll help you use passive design strategies (like warming your house with winter sunlight and cooling your home with summer breezes)
  • Learn how to properly locate your new home or addition by factoring in things like orientation, solar access and wind conditions
  • The top 10 most important design elements to incorporate into your home design, whether you’re renovating or building new, to help make your decision making even easier.
