Hi! My name is Jen and I know what it's like to be fatigued, depressed, struggling with emotions and unexplained weight gain. Unknowingly, for 24 years I lived in a home with mold, and year by year, the mycotoxins it produced built up in my body. While I don't want to relive those years of my life, I'm grateful for what they taught me and I'm here to share what I learned with you.
Every toxic thing I've gotten rid of and every nourishing thing I've put back in, has brought me closer to optimal health. If you, like me, have struggled with health issues and are ready to write a different story, I want to help you make a shift toward adopting holistic lifestyle habits that help you take control of your health. Let me take the overwhelm out of where to start. Sign up to receive four emails that will help you navigate the first steps in living a toxic free lifestyle.

DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH A LACK OF JOY?
Does a cloud of heaviness weigh you down? That's where I was in 2014. Sadness for unexplained reasons followed me around and I was desperate for a change. Are you? If so, read on.
My change came through a starter bundle of essential oils. Specifically, an oil blend called Joy. Not understanding why, but willing to follow the suggestions I had been given, I began applying it over my heart daily. Slowly I became aware that something had changed. The heaviness of sadness that weighed me down had lifted. It's then that I became a believer in the power of aromatherapy and it's ability to impact my emotional and mental health.
And it didn't stop there. The amount of colds that passed through my home was radically reduced as welI. Since then, things like Thieves, Lavender, and Frankincense have become staples in my home for everything.
If you too are looking for a change, if you're lacking in joy and discouragement is your constant companion, may I suggest you try essential oils? The blend JOY may not be your HERO oil, as it was mine, but it might be. You won't know unless you try. There are many oils that can support your emotions and help you find the joy that's been out of your reach.

My understanding has been fuzzy, at best. so in an effort to bring more clarity to the subject, I found myself researching and taking notes. Those notes turned into this blog post.
Understanding what antioxidants are and why they’re crucial can empower you to make choices that support long-term health. However, before I explain what they are and why they are needed, I find it helpful to understand free radicals first.
Mold. Do you know it? Is it something you've ever given much thought to? Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it out of my mind, or my home right now. It's my reality.
You see, for the last 10 years, I’ve struggled with depression, weight gain, fatigue, unbalanced hormones and skin issues. I was also diagnosed with auto-immune hypothyroidism, otherwise known as Hashimoto's disease. Although I didn't suspect mold right away, I did acknowledge that something wasn’t right. My husband was the one who finally pushed me to get help, and I’m so glad he did.
Having a dog is not all sunshine and roses. Don’t get me wrong, it’s hard not to melt when I see this face and I usually forget all wrongs done with one look into his eyes, but there are messy parts of pet ownership I could do without.
You know, like the barking, shedding and daily poop pick-up. Can I get an AMEN? Here's an example. The other day my daughter noticed a foul smell out on our front porch. It's a favorite spot for Mercy ( lab), and sometimes Scout (beagle ). They love to sit on the window seat to look out into the front yard or wait for someone to come home.
