About Andrea

I am the wife of Chris and mom to 9 children. I like to think outside the box and encourage others to do the same.

I have an incessant curiosity about environmental health, one of the many outcomes of our family’s encounter with toxic mold. (Read more here.)

I am certified in the field of Building Biology and am passionate about the overuse of chemicals, the disregard for indoor environmental issues, and the proliferation of electromagnetic radiation.

I am an avid CrossFitter, yoga enthusiast, and lifelong learner.

As of February 2020 I offer a 30 minute phone consultation for $35. Find out more here.
