Clean Living Consulting
Live Longer Better
My passion around clean grew when I saw store-shelf bought products hurting my kids. I learned not everything we buy is safe for our use and saw a need to help educate others. A lot of people don't know what to look for in an ingredient list and what is listed at face value is usually greenwashing. Controlling your home environment is the best thing you can do for you and your family.
Offering help to others in lessening their toxic exposure at home with clean nutritional supplements, personal care and green home products.
