Healthy living consultations

You deserve to make your health a priority. I’m here to reduce the stress and guide you along the way.

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 one step at a time. I’m here to simplify the process and help you be the best version of yourself!

To make your life a little easier, I offer personalized consultations to help you “makeover” your food & household products, by making 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!

Does this sound like you?

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 any of these scenarios apply to you, my services will be a great fit for you:

  • You know you want to clean up the food & products you use on a daily basis, but aren’t sure where to start.
  • You found a brand that looks good, but need help deciding if their products are actually healthy.
  • You don’t have time to find healthier alternatives, and feel stuck in your current habits.
  • You feel overwhelmed with all of the information that is out there, and need help knowing what ingredients are actually safe.

Here’s how I can help!

Sifting through hundreds of products, brands, reviews, and places to buy them is overwhelming and time-consuming. I take that burden off your shoulders, by researching ingredients and products and providing you with recommendations tailored to your specific needs and wants.

  • I’ll tell you where to buy the products, so you don’t have to spend time searching (multiple options provided when applicable).
  • Feel confident knowing that I’ve been using exclusively natural products for almost a decade now. I use my personal experience to guide you and provide any tips & tricks I’ve learned.
  • I sort through product reviews and scientific studies to find the most suitable option for you- relieving you from hours of time spent doing this.
  • Have a restricted budget? No problem! I’ll find the best options within your budget, and provide ideas for how you can make your products go further.

what to expect

Here’s how it works for The Healthy Home Edit email consultations:

01. Inquire

Send me an email so we can figure out if my services are the right fit for you! I can help you determine what service level is the best fit for your needs.

02. Step Two

I will send you a quick form for you to fill out describing what you are needing from your new products. Tell me about your budget, where you like to shop, any likes and dislikes, etc.

03. Step Three

Within 3 business days, you will receive your customized product selections from me. You’ll receive a PDF document complete with images, product links, and any tips & tricks I know.

04. Step Four

Included in this service is one round of follow-up questions on your new products. Go ahead and ask me if there’s anything you’re still unsure about!

Frequently Asked Questions

The main benefit of my consultations 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 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!

Certainly! But most people do not have the energy or time to spend hours and hours looking up products and ingredients, figuring out where to buy them, deciphering the labels, reading reviews, etc. It can get very overwhelming, but I will do all of that for you! There are even many brands that practice what is called “greenwashing”, which is essentially when they make their product sound “green” and “natural”, when it actually contains harmful ingredients. Whenever possible, 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.

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! Whenever possible, I 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 for multiple reasons, 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.

I received my holistic nutrition & health coaching diploma through NutraPhoria School of Holistic Nutrition. The program is approved by the Global Association for Integrative Nutrition (GAIN, previously CAIN), which is the association that I was registered with. For this year, I decided not to renew my registration (due to the high cost), but rest assured that I am always learning and keeping up-to-date with new information in the health field. I also have a diploma in interior decorating.

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 myself, 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.

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 include 1 new product revision for each service purchased! So if there happens to be a product you really don’t like, I’ll provide you with one new recommendation at no extra charge.

Due to the extensive time commitment in researching products, 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 1 new product revision for each service purchased.

The time to prioritize your health is now.

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 you trie 🌷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

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
