For millions of years, humans evolved living entirely outdoors—breathing fresh air, sleeping under open skies, and staying in balance with the natural environment. Fast forward to today, and the average person now spends nearly all of their time indoors—sleeping 7–8 hours a night inside a home, working inside buildings during the day, and relaxing indoors in the evening.
In other words, the indoor environment is now the primary environment for human health.
That’s where a building biologist comes in.
A building biologist helps identify how your home may be impacting your health—often in ways you can’t see, smell, or immediately detect. By evaluating the air you breathe, the materials surrounding you, moisture levels, lighting, and other environmental factors—including how modern technology interacts with the space—a building biologist helps ensure your home is a place where your body can truly rest, recover, and thrive.
This isn’t about fear or extreme measures. It’s about understanding your space and making informed, practical improvements.


Who Is This Service For?
You may benefit from a building biologist if you:
Wake up tired despite a full night’s sleep
Experience allergies, headaches, congestion, or brain fog at home
Have children, elderly family members, or sensitive occupants in the household
Are planning a renovation or purchasing a home and want to do it right
Simply want peace of mind that your home supports long-term health
Many clients don’t come in with a specific problem—they come in with a simple question:
“Is my home working for me, or against me?”

What Does a Building Biologist Do?
A building biologist takes a whole-home, human-centered approach by:
Evaluating indoor air quality, moisture, and ventilation
Identifying potential mold risks and hidden water issues
Assessing building materials and chemical exposures
Reviewing sleeping areas and high-use spaces
Considering electrical systems, wireless technology, and non-native electromagnetic fields (EMFs)—especially in areas where the body rests and recovers
Providing clear, prioritized recommendations you can act on at your own pace
Building biologists are independent advisors. They don’t sell products or perform repairs—their role is to provide clarity, education, and confidence about your indoor environment.

Modern homes are more airtight and energy-efficient than ever before—but that also means whatever is inside your home tends to stay inside. Today’s indoor environments also include more wireless technology and electrical devices than at any point in human history. Since we now spend the vast majority of our lives indoors, even subtle environmental stressors—airborne, material-based, or electromagnetic—can have an outsized impact over time.
Your home shouldn’t just look good.
It should support your health while you sleep, work, and live.
Building biology isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness. It helps connect the dots between how you feel and where you spend most of your life, offering insight without pressure or alarm.
If you’d like to better understand how your indoor environment may be affecting you or your family, a building biology assessment is a thoughtful first step.
Start with knowledge. Improve with intention. Live better indoors.
