“The course answered a lot of ‘why’ questions for me. I enjoyed learning about why toxic products are harmful to us and the environment & being given the tools to make smarter purchasing decisions. It can be hard for clients to look past a price tag or a pretty picture they see in a magazine. Having the ability to educate them on why we should stay clear of certain items will be helpful in achieving a healthy space.”
– K. Holder
“Just like a bird building a protective nest for its chicks to sleep and grow, we humans create our own version of nests for our young, which we like to call, bedrooms! Its one of the most important spaces in a newborn’s and young child’s life considering an infant can sleep up to 18 hours a day and a toddler up to fourteen.”
– Founder Deborah DiMare
