Paula Baker-Laporte is an author, architect, and visionary. She has been named one of the top 10 green architects in the US and is a principal at EcoNest Architecture.

When Paula found herself getting chronically ill she discovered that it was her home that was the cause. She then went on to integrate non-toxic building materials into her work in order to help her and others with chemical sensitivities live in healthy atmospheres.

She and her partner Robert Laporte founded EcoNest Architecture, which goes beyond just non-toxic materials but integrates design and nature to help people rejuvenate.

This is one podcast episode that you do not want to miss and you will be glad that you tuned in.

Do you crave more energy, optimal health and abundance in life?
Are you feeling lethargic, low energy, headaches, low libido, allergies, brain fog and just not feeling well?
Are you, or someone you know, suffering from a “mysterious illness” struggling with feeling “sick,” alone, not validated or unsure about what's next?
Have you gone from doctor to doctor, spent so much time and money on medical tests, but all the results showed "NORMAL” only come home with drugs and no solution for the cause of your illness?
Do you want to know where toxins are coming from, how they affect your health and how to safely detox from them?
Are your relationships getting hurt because of the way you feel?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then I would love for you to join me in the first-ever “The Healthy Home Show” series hosted by Eric and Fernanda Firman.
