Tori , so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
I started living a Holistic Lifestyle 0ver 20 years ago. After Trying for find a Healthy Home years ago with a Realtor for my family, My concerns where chemical sensitivity, Past Mold Exposure, EMF sensitivity. I realized How Important is was to Become a Wellness Realtor to help Families find Healthy Homes
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
.What Makes my Real Estate Brand Stand out is my Certification as a Building Biology Advocate that comes from the German term Bau-Biologie. It is a building science which analyses the impact of the indoor environment on our health. It is a scientific field of work and holistic practice that identifies and evaluates toxic sources in the indoor environment. My passion is Helping Families find Healthy Homes as a Realtor, I knew I had to create a Brand to help families focus on healthy Holistic Homes. As a Certified building Biology Advocate and the Founder of Non Toxic Georgia,I work with Nontoxic Pest Control Companies, Nontoxic Lawn Care services, Radon & Mold Testing, Doctors helping Heal families from Past mold exposure, Clean water & Air. 5 G concerns and how to create a NON toxic living environment.
I offer information on EMF to test frequency levels in the homes, information regarding cell phone tower and cell phone antenna proximity to prospective homes you are considering. Concerned with the locations of Superfund Sites, which is any land in the United States that has been contaminated by hazardous waste and identified by the EPA as a candidate for cleanup, because it poses a risk to human health and or the environment. Concerned with hazardous pesticides and want to live within a community or development that has adhered to non-toxic landscaping practices. Seeking information regarding holistic health providers.
I believe Real estate is the next frontier that will be radically transformed by the wellness movement. Our homes, communities and surrounding environment directly affect our daily behaviors and lifestyles, and together these determine up to 80–90 percent of our health outcomes.
Since our homes are typically our most important personal investment and expenditure, it is only logical that they should also be an investment in our health and wellbeing.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
A few skills, that were most impactful in my journey, I started to research and understand how our homes can make us sick or help us heal. As a Certified building Biology Advocate, create a healthy indoor climate with minimal or no electro- or water-pollution through the use of natural building materials and building systems. Its important to reconize hazards in homes that may contain, including toxic building materials and furnishings, over-electrification, unhealthy heating systems or air-conditioning, etc.—how to detect them, what to do about them, and best of all how not to cause them.
Looking back at my years starting out in my Healthy Home journey. #1 Don’t Stress, I know it’s easier said than done.Stress seems to worsen or increase the risk of conditions. Remember to stay calm. #2 Don’t feel bad for asking questions, When I started my journey back in the early 2000, I did not have a Tribe to ask questions to, Find your people who support you while you are on your journey. Take advantage of resources about Chemical Sensitivity & Mold, Emf, what ever your family is struggling with. #3 Start small, Start removing different chemicals from your home like, Cleaning products, artificial air fresheners like plug ins and candles. Also be mindful when you are doing renovations, look for VOC free products like paint, flooring and other materials.
