How it started

Our Services

Meet the founder

After years of struggling with mysterious health issues, I tested positive for mycotoxins in my system—opening my eyes up to the world of toxic mold. After diving into all of the things needed to improve my health, I recognized the important role our environment can have on all of our bodies systems. Mold was an important factor, but I quickly learned mold isn’t the only thing in our environment that can harm our health.

 Awakening Spaces was born out of my newfound knowledge of mold, bacteria, chemicals, electromagnetic radiation and married with my interior design knowledge of acoustics, comfort, color psychology, and aesthetics to support those seeking to create a healthy space that aligns with the rhythms that nature intended for us. 

Hi, I'm Ashley. I help you navigate the process of creating a safe, healthy space. Awakening Spaces takes a multi-prong approach to creating health-conscious homes.

By eliminating physical toxins, designing a space using building science principles and honoring the rhythms of nature our goal to help you restore your sense of safety.

We’ve seen and personally experienced the hazards of harmful environmental exposures like… 


It became apparent that as a society—as architects, designers, and consumers—our education and knowledge about how each material and system affects our long-term health is minimal at best. Since then, it’s been my mission to change this narrative by increasing awareness and education efforts and helping health-conscious homeowners create spaces that are built and designed with their well-being in mind.

OUR MISSION

Awakening Spaces is centered in our mission to guide you in creating an environment that supports your health, because your home should be part of the solution, not the problem. We believe that what goes in your walls is just as important as what hangs on your walls and we’re here to advocate for your health and safety.
