Caroline: I observed a need in the health care industry and wanted to help people achieve healthier lives, Then, I started a business to develop a way for homeowners to test their living spaces for contaminants/toxins and improve their living conditions. “90% of our health and wellness is determined by our behaviors, environment, socio-economic status and genetics.” There is a direct correlation to how and where we live and our quality of health. It became my mission to create healthier homes to improve overall wellness.
