altered space consulting for small renovations

This is for the health conscious homeowner who’s building back a bathroom or kitchen (or other misc. areas of the home) after a mold remediation (or maybe just for fun!)

Maybe your health was impacted or maybe you know the risks your environment can have on your health – regardless, you want to make sure you build back these spaces the right way and you’re looking for a Healthy Home Consultant’s guidance on how to prevent future mold growth and toxin exposure. 

We will meet to discuss your project in detail and review the best materials and strategies to get the job done in a way that builds in the insurance you need to know your new bathroom or kitchen is SAFE…  

We will provide you and your team with pre-vetted  product options to select from or review products that you have selected to take the guesswork out of what materials are “healthy”.  We also provide guidelines for installation to make sure your health is considered each step of the way.

please note

If you’re looking for someone to design the bathroom for you, select all of the materials and put a vision board together showing a new aesthetic and/or new bathroom layout, then you’ll want to hear about our interior design packages!

What's the Process?

In this initial phase, where all of our consulting projects start, we will kick-off your healthy home project by doing an in depth review of wherever you’re at in the process so that we can begin to understand your project, climate, and goals.  We will spend time putting together a comprehensive list of things that can be improved or done to achieve optimal home health and outline your unique critical path steps that will be followed throughout the life of the project. 

HOW IT WORKS
  1. You will upload any project documents (floor plans, reports, vision board) to the shared client drive.
  2. We will spend time reviewing your project before our kick-off call.
  3. We will review room adjacencies for health and highlight must have design considerations to prevent mold, avoid chemicals, and reduce EMF exposure.
  4. We have calls to meet the team (if applicable) and discuss how we can best collaborate to support you in achieving your goals!

During this phase, we begin to deeply evaluate products, materials, and strategies for your project.  We look at all building material finishes being used including exterior/interior finishes, lighting, and plumbing fixtures.
We work with your team to make sure your health is considered with each item being considered.

HOW IT WORKS
  1. We’ll weigh the pros and cons of different building materials.
  2. Review Finishes, Fixtures (lighting/plumbing), Furnishings (Appliances/furniture) for health.
  3. Review Lighting, Mechanical, and Plumbing strategies (if needed) to promote health.
  4. Strategies to reduce Electromagnetic exposure within the home.
  5. Review of how to implement various moisture management strategies.

As construction begins we continue guiding you and the team as you move through the process.  We follow our lengthy list of checks and balances to make sure everything goes as planned. We provide the quality control needed to successfully implement all of the healthy home strategies discussed.

HOW IT WORKS
  1. Make updates based on changes that come up due to inability to get an item, pricing, etc. and questions that pop up on site by the builder or their subs.
  2. We guide the contractor through “best practices” for installs, inspections, cleaning, and protecting your home throughout construction.
  3. We follow-up with the Critical Path outline we created for your project during Schematic Design (SD) and keep an eye on the project and with the team to make sure they’re getting done according to plan to avoid costly mistakes down the road.

TESTIMONIALS

Ashley made our healthy-home a reality. There were so many things I didn't know that I didn't know, and would have missed completely without her guidance and support. Navigating health challenges, building materials, EMF mitigation, a mold remediation - plus the crazy demands of decision-making and managing the remodel process - would have been too challenging to manage on my own without her help. Much would have been lost or gone unseen. She has become an integral part of any decision we make for our home. I'm so thankful and know that our newly remodeled home is supporting us in our health and wellness.

I discovered Awakening Spaces through the wonderful content provided on social media and hoped to work with Ashley when we finally found a new home. As a family of 4 with significant mold and chemical sensitivities, the peace of mind that came from working with Ashley was invaluable. She is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of what makes a home healthy, and she raised issues to consider beyond what was already on our radar and project list. Ashley provides education that is lasting beyond just selecting products, she helped us in a way that we will be able to continue to implement throughout our renovation and beyond. Highly recommend Awakening Spaces, 10/10!

Ashley helped me so much and guided me through the process of a full home renovation. I deal with mold illness and chemical sensitivities so having non toxic and mold resistant materials was crucial for me. Ashley provided me with guides every step of the way, gave me multiple product suggestions, called companies for me, and was kind and responsive along the way. I would highly recommend working with her.
