My Services

let’s work together

My services are not quite ready, but take a sneak peek here to see the offerings I’m working on! Subscribe to my newsletter to be one of the first to know when they’re ready! If you would like further information on what’s coming up, please contact me here.

What I Do

My philosophy in life is to live as naturally as possible. I know it isn’t always easy. In fact, it can be harder and more expensive, which is why people tend to take the easy way out. I’m here to tell you that the harder way is worth it! You can heal your body and be your best self. I’m here to simplify the process and help you be the best version of yourself!

My Services & Product Guides

To make your life a little easier, I’m putting together all of my best resources and products in handy guides so you can “makeover” your food & household products and make the switch to safe and natural ones. I can help you find a variety of household items, even including healthier products for your dog!

I obsess over every ingredient so you don’t have to!

Let me reduce the stress and overwhelm that can happen with big life changes. I’ve been choosing natural products for over 8 years now, and I’ve learned what to look for. If you’ve been asking yourself these questions, my services will be a great fit for you:

Where do I even get natural products? Do they even work? How do I know if this product is worth the cost? Switching my products to more natural ones seems like it’s going to be so expensive… how do I do this on a lower budget?

Choose from 3 different service levels as described below:

Just the Basics! Healthy Edit

This service is for anyone wanting to switch to natural products, but who only needs a bit of help finding a few things that are still on your shopping list. Whether you’ve been looking for a new dish soap or a healthier deodorant option, I can do the research for you and save you all that time & energy!

Multiple product options will be provided.

You can use this service to dip your toes into the world of healthier living!

The Healthy Home Edit Guides

Switch your products to healthier, less-toxic ones with one easy step! These guides are lists to all of my go-to products. They include the best places to buy them, and multiple options for different budgets and stores. These are my tried-and-true products that meet my strict standards for safe, natural ingredients. They are updated if I fall in love with something new!

Custom Healthy Home Edit Guide

The custom guides are a customized product list I create just for you. Send me a list of the products you usually use, an approximate budget, what you need your products to accomplish, and any other needs and wants to consider, and I will create a personalized shopping list just for you that is safe and natural.

Multiple product options will be provided.

FAQ

You make a lot of product suggestions in your blog posts and “Shop My Favourites” page, so why would I spend the money on one of your guides?

If you’re purchasing a Custom Guide, the main benefit of this is that you will receive suggestions that are customized just for you and your family based on your specific needs and wants. This may include some of the products I’ve already suggested elsewhere on my blog, or it may include new brands that are more suited to what you need. Examples of requests that someone may need include things like: an unscented product vs. a scented one, a strict budget, a product with recyclable packaging, a product with free shipping, etc. While I may not be able to accommodate all of your requests, I will certainly do my best!

EWG.org has a lot of products on their website that are EWG-Verified, so why should I purchase a product guide from you?

Choosing products from EWG-Verified selections is a great way to find healthier products for you and your family, however EWG doesn’t guarantee that those products will work well! For the most part, I only recommend products that I’ve personally used and loved, although I can’t guarantee that everyone will feel the same way about them. EWG also “verifies” some product ingredients that I would rather not use, like some synthetic ingredients. This does not mean the synthetic ingredients are unsafe, but I just prefer to use natural ones whenever possible, so I place a higher value on more natural ingredients. In addition, EWG is an American organization and is more focused on American products, though there are some from other countries too. I like to focus on Canadian and local products whenever possible.

A lot of bloggers and influencers make natural product suggestions, so what makes yours better or different than others’?

The majority of bloggers and influencers I see are American, and often make suggestions for products that are only available in the US or are hard to get in Canada. Being in Canada, I focus on products that are easy to find here! With my background in interior design and my health coach certification, I also have knowledge and a unique perspective on how certain products impact the human body.

Couldn’t I just research product ingredients myself instead of paying you to do it?

Certainly! But most people do not have the energy or time to spend hours and hours and hours looking up products and ingredients, figuring out where to buy them, deciphering the labels, reading reviews, etc. and I will do all of that for you! Trust me when I say that it can get overwhelming! Especially when you consider that so many brands practice what is called “greenwashing”, which is essentially when they make their product sound “green” and “natural”, when it actually contains harmful ingredients. And as mentioned above, I recommend products that I have personally used, or have read through dozens of reviews on, so you can feel more confident that the product will work for you.

What if I don’t like some of the products you’ve recommended?

While I try my best to prevent this from happening, unfortunately that is a small risk of purchasing a service (any kind of service, not just the ones from me!). However, I do offer up to 2 new product revisions for each guide purchased! Meaning if there are any products you don’t like, I’ll provide you with up to two new suggestions.

What is your refund policy?

Due to the extensive time commitment in creating my product guides, I do not provide refunds. However, it is so important to me that you are happy with your purchase & benefit from the information that I provide to you, so please reach out to me if you are unhappy so I can make it right! As well, I do offer up to 2 new product revisions for each guide purchased, meaning if there are any products you don’t like, I’ll provide you with up to two new suggestions at no extra cost.

Make this the moment you prioritize your health

Want to know one way to have a more successful gar Want to know one way to have a more successful garden? It's by selecting the right plant varieties for your specific microclimate! Not just your growing zone, but the actual *microclimate* of your growing space.

This is why I recommend buying your garden seeds from an independent seller, NOT a big box store. When you buy from local farms or other smaller retailers, you can choose from hundreds of really unique varieties, including heirlooms, organic seeds, and varieties that are proven to perform in your climate and can't be bought at a grocery store❤️

This year, my mom and I ordered all of our new seeds from Hawthorn Farm Organic Seeds- my #fridayfeature this week! They have an amazing selection of 100% organic seeds with so many special varieties. I chose 2 types of tomatoes that are reliable in northern climates, and set fruit even in cooler weather. I'm excited to see how they perform this summer!

If you are needing any seeds this spring/summer, be sure to check them out and support a fellow Canadian organic grower! @hawthornfarmorganicseeds

🌷DIY foaming hand soap for SPRING 🌷 Have yo 🌷DIY foaming hand soap for SPRING 🌷

Have you tried making your own foaming hand soap? It is SO easy and budget-friendly, and is one of the best ways to use essential oils!

We have 3 recipes for you that are perfect for spring! Here's how to make them:

- Fill a foaming soap dispenser 1/3 of the way with unscented castile soap. Next, add your essential oils (see amounts below) & stir to combine. Then fill your dispenser the rest of the way (2/3 of the dispenser) with distilled or filtered water and stir to combine.

These amounts of essential oils are intended for 8 oz of liquid. Increase or decrease the amounts if you are making a different quantity of soap.

Lavender Lemonade:
- 33 drops of lemon
- 20 drops of lavender

Garden Walk
- 30 drops of pink grapefruit
- 15 drops of lavender
- 15 drops of rosemary

Clean Kitchen
- 25 drops of bergamot
- 10 drops of eucalyptus
- 5 drops of juniper berry

Which of these recipes sounds the most appealing to you? We would love to know in the comments!

This week's #fridayfeature showcasing natural bran This week's #fridayfeature showcasing natural brands made in Canada is... Nellie's! They make awesome cleaning products and laundry products.

Plus I'm a sucker for cute packaging, and I love their retro styling! I recommend their dishwasher powder and laundry oxygen brightener ❤️

P.S. I was concerned by the "fragrance" listed on some of their products (which usually indicates artificial fragrance and would be something I do NOT recommend), however, they assured me that they only use natural essential oils for their scents. 🙌 

Be sure to check them out for some great natural products made in Canada! @nelliesclean

This week's #fridayfeature showcasing natural bran This week's #fridayfeature showcasing natural brands made in Canada is... Green Beaver!

I've been using Green Beaver products for many years. Their Frosty Mint toothpaste is my go-to natural toothpaste, and I love their castile soap. I use it for so many things, such as making foaming hand soap, spot-treating laundry, and cleaning shoes. I love that it's made with organic cold-pressed Canadian sunflower oil 🌻

They make tons of natural products, such as sunscreen, deodorant, skin care, hair care, and lip balm.

Be sure to check them out for some great natural products made in Canada! @greenbeavercompany
