My journey into environmental health began over seventeen years ago, when I realized how many everyday products in our homes could quietly impact our well-being. As a new parent, I was overwhelmed by conflicting advice and misinformation about toxins, and I knew there had to be a better, science-driven way to help families make safer choices without fear or confusion.
Since then, I shifted from being an investigative journalist to dedicating my career to educating families and working with companies to create lower-tox products that truly make a difference. I’ve spent years researching, reading labels, and consulting scientific sources. My work has always been about empowering people with practical, trustworthy information, not scare tactics or pseudoscience.
Through my platform, 3 Little Plums, and collaborations with leading experts and organizations, I’ve helped thousands of families take meaningful steps toward healthier homes. However, I noticed that many people still felt lost or overwhelmed by where to start, what/who to trust, or how to make changes that fit their lives and budgets.
That’s why I created this app: to offer a step-by-step, personalized approach that meets you wherever you are on your low-tox journey. Every suggestion, product recommendation, and resource in the app is carefully vetted and grounded in credible science. My hope is that this app becomes your trusted guide—making it easier, not harder, to create a safer, healthier home for you and your loved ones... regardless of where you are in your own low-tox living journey.
