You know that toxic chemical smell that hits you when you first walk into a hotel room?

“You know that toxic chemical smell that hits you when you first walk into a hotel room? And then the things you don’t smell, like fire retardants and chemicals from rugs, paint, furniture, and just about everything else.”

Are you as tired as I am of not having a healthy place to stay during your vacation?

Chlorine bleach & toxic cleaners, chlorinated & fluoridated water, mold & mildew, EMFs, VOCs, and other toxins. A vacation is supposed to make you healthier, not more sick!
I believe we can change that.

My Story

Having Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune thyroid disease, has made my body more sensitive to chemicals and molds. I’ve realized how much need there is and know we can do something about it.

While the move toward greener sustainable houses is booming, the move towards healthier homes and vacation homes is just beginning. It’s a challenge, requiring a deep understanding of both health, housing, and the travel industry, but we have a pretty amazing team and partners to do just that!

We’re already about two years into the process of building the first healthy vacation home and we’ll keep you updated as we get closer (update: Updated information on the Healthy Vacation Club)

What are healthy vacation homes?

Healthy Vacation Homes that provide your body a place to rest and renew.

Imagine coming into your vacation home and giving your body a break from all the toxins and chemicals present in most homes and hotels today. We will also have a non-toxic gym and infrared saunas in each vacation home development, so you can give your body a little extra love and detox during your stay.

Healthy Vacation Home focus areas:

Clean air & water with extra filtered drinking water
Furniture without flame retardants
Plastic free kitchen
Natural beds with organic cotton or linen sheets
Non-toxic cleaning in between guests
As close as possible to organic/specialty grocery stores
Hurricane proof houses (even windows)

Who are You?

Everyone has a story. Our stories are what color in the details of who we are and how we show up to the world around us, and how we engage with it/them: relationships, jobs, schools, etc. We were all intentionally and intelligently designed to be unique individuals. When we discover who we are, where we came from, and what we were designed for in this lifetime, we find the freedom in seeing ourselves in our truest identity. It is in this freedom, our personal story can be expressed organically and experienced by others.

The messages of our stories are often communicated and translated through the ways we impact and interact with the people we are privileged to have in our lives— whether for a short while, or for a lifetime. When we discover who we are and the purpose we were uniquely designed to fulfill, we begin to not only value ourselves, we also begin to value others around us at the same capacity of which we value ourselves. Our intentions, interactions, and impact become more authentic, vulnerable, and hold a greater potential to add life changing value to the lives we are privileged to be a part of.

So how do we begin to discover who we are at our core and what we were designed to live for? Awareness is the first step. Taking an inventory of our character, our morals, our values, our tendencies, patterns, feelings, passions, attitudes, relationships can be key to self discovery. These are the fruit from seeds that have been planted in the soil of our young minds from the moment we were even conceived– unconsciously. Taking a brave trip down memory lane to take a good look at where we’ve historically come from, is another key factor to self discovery. These impactful experiences, whether big or small, manifest in our idiosyncrasies. Some of which would be ideal to change, because we and others around us, deserve them to be changed.

We as humans will inevitably share similarities. The genetic and neurological composition of our individual beings however, are uniquely different. When we take a good look at who we are at our core there is a lot to discover about how intentionally and intelligently we were uniquely designed to be, and the life we were destined to uniquely live; serving the world around us at different capacities and various ways.

Here are some questions to ask yourself…
1. Who are you?
2. Where did you come from?
3. What were your designed for here on earth?
4. How were you created to impact the world around you?
5. What does your unique design have, to solve a problem that exists in the community that surrounds your life?
6. When are you going to venture out into a courageous journey of fully living at your greatest potential and impacting at your optimal?
7. What or who do you need in your life, to make this happen? (I call this, resourcing up!)

Sometimes, we need someone in our corner coming alongside us through the journey of self discovery. For those interested in discovering their truest identity and the possibility of unlocking their greatest potential, connect with me! I’d be happy to be a part of that journey and see you thrive as the best version of yourself!
