Your Gentle Guide to Removing Toxins & Creating a Healthier Home

Toxins are everywhere, from the food we eat to the products we use on our skin and even in the air we breathe. The below information and the free guide which you can download below will help you identify the main concerns with toxins, some pretty horrifying stats that no one is talking about and what you can do to protect your home and your family from hidden nasties. By the time you finish reading, you will be armed and ready to step into the drivers seat and feel really empowered so you can make your home the high water mark - a safe, clean and nourishing place for your family to live, grow and thrive.









What do toxins do to us?

Toxins have become such a ‘normal’ part of our lives — they line the shelves of our supermarkets, sit in our cupboards, and the cupboards of our loved ones are likely full of them. They are even legally allowed to be in our food.

Whatever their specific names are, and whatever their specific effects in the body may be, they all fall into the broad category of toxins.

Toxins can contribute to inflammation, and inflammation is increasingly recognised as a contributing factor in many modern health challenges. Yet here we are routinely inhaling these ingredients and applying them to our own — and our children’s — skin, scalp, hair and nails, all while being sold the idea that it’s harmless.

Now, I understand this information can feel overwhelming and even a little stressful. Please remember — this isn’t about perfection, it’s about awareness and choice.

More information on the specific effects of common toxins, and what we can do to safeguard our families, is shared further below.


I was horrified when I read the below:

Estimates suggest that...

  • there are over 80,000 man-made chemicals known to be in use by millions of people worldwide
  • over 10,000 toxic ingredients are typically found in favourite beauty products 
  • every 60 seconds, another 20 chemicals are registered on the world’s largest database, The Chemical Abstract Service
  • the average woman applies 168 chemicals to her body a day and 80 of which are applied before she’s even walked out of the house!
  • Scientists have found toxins in baby’s cord blood (so they cross the mother’s placenta) before the baby has even taken its first breath!








If it was dangerous, it wouldn't be sold, right?

While some governing authorities advise that these chemicals are safe in low doses, there is a growing body of scientific evidence that suggests otherwise. And when something is tested to be safe in low doses, they are only testing that chemical in isolation and not in conjunction with a cocktail of other chemicals.

100 years ago, man-made synthetic chemicals were used sparingly and cautiously. Now. chemicals surround us. We simply accept harmful chemical products as a fact of life and an everyday necessity because of their pervasiveness. Just because something is ubiquitous in society or is allowed to be sold doesn’t make it safe! Most people still don’t know or appreciate that conventional personal care products and household cleaning products contain these toxic ingredients. And they can be forgiven in their ignorance because the powers that be do not think that there is anything is wrong with those ingredients.
But I eat organic food, isn't that enough?

If you are already mindful about eating organic and being conscious about the foods you and your kids eat, that is an amazing start. However I personally believe we need to go a little deeper and we need to be even MORE vigilant with what we put directly onto our skin and what we inhale through our lungs than the food we eat. 

Our skin and lungs have no digestive filter to keep the toxins out. Particles of a certain size or smaller (called nano particles) pass from the skin directly into the blood stream. And the particles in personal care products are typically small enough to pass through.





So, what do I do?
First of all, take a deep breath. It's very easy to get overwhelmed when you first start diving into the world of toxins but y'all know that overwhelm is NOT my jam! 

So take another big, deep breath and know this: I’ve got you covered. We’re going to get through this together — and it’s actually really easy once you know where to start.

Step 1: Start with awareness

Download my free guide here and use it today to easily identify which products in your cupboards contain ingredients you may want to avoid.

I don’t suggest throwing everything out and replacing it all at once. That’s expensive, stressful, and unnecessary. What I do suggest is this: when it’s time to replace a shampoo, laundry liquid, or cleaning product, you’ll be armed with the knowledge to make a more informed choice, one step at a time.

Step 2: Learn what to replace them with

Now that you know what your products contain, the next question is usually "OK… so what do I use instead?”

That’s a big question — and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, and that’s exactly why I’ve created a free Facebook community, where we dive into this together. Inside the group, I share the daily rituals we use in our home, along with education and support to help you reduce toxic load in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own - come join us and let’s do this together.
