Your Home's Health Partner
Welcome to a new approach to homeownership – one where you’re never alone in caring for your most important investment. As a certified building biologist and home inspector, I provide the guidance you’ve always wished came with your house keys.
I’m Amanda, a Building Biology Practitioner, a Certified Home Inspector and a Healthy Home Expert.
Give me just a few hours and I will help you understand your home and help you care for your home in practical and useful ways.
Together, we can make your home work for you and your family without burdening you down with overwhelming information.
Beyond the Home Inspection
A standard home inspection is just a snapshot – a one-time review that tells you what’s working and what isn’t on that particular day. But what happens next? Who teaches you how to maintain your investment and create a healthy living space?
Whether you’ve had a home inspection or not, there’s a crucial gap in home-owner education that needs to be filled. Here’s why my service is different:
If You’ve Had a Home Inspection:
- Move beyond the basic checklist to understand why things matter
- Learn how to prevent the issues your inspector flagged
- Develop practical skills for ongoing maintenance
- Transform technical findings into actionable healthy-home strategies
- Get answers to all those questions you thought of after the inspector left
If You Skipped the Home Inspection:
- It’s never too late to understand your home’s condition
- Identify potential health and safety concerns you might have missed
- Create a plan to address any immediate issues
- Learn what to monitor and maintain going forward
- Transform your space into a healthy home, regardless of its starting point
Beyond the Home Inspection
Think about it – we need a license to drive a car, but no one teaches us how to maintain our biggest investment: our home. Standard home inspections point out problems, but they don’t show you how to prevent them. They don’t teach you how to:
- Monitor your home’s health indicators
- Maintain proper ventilation for better air quality
- Prevent moisture issues before they lead to mold
- Choose healthy materials for repairs and renovations
- Create maintenance routines that protect your family’s health
That’s where I come in. Together, we’ll bridge this knowledge gap, giving you the tools and confidence to create and maintain a healthy home environment for years to come.
