There is no bigger satisfaction than seeing your precious baby progress and grow up to a happy and healthy toddler and child…
Her first steps, words and every major milestone reached are priceless memories we will cherish for years (or decades!) to come…
And we have SO many dreams for our little humans!
That’s why we try to find the best toys and music and the safest and most productive places and ways to play. Because we want them to thrive and become their BEST possible self now and later as adults.
But what if there is a hidden danger which threatens to sabotage all our noble efforts to help our children be healthy and awesome?
Many chemical toxins hide and accumulate in our homes, right where our babies play, roll and sleep every single day and usually since their first day of life. These dangerous developmental and hormone disrupting toxins can affect negatively health, brain development and behaviour now and in the long run.
This is a scientific fact.
And because numbers don’t lie, here are some verified examples of how much toxicity surrounds our babies and their negative effects:
Shocking right?
Not exactly what we have in mind when our kids are happily sleeping, playing on the sofa or rolling on the floor…
Even after years of research and consulting about toxins and health, I still find disturbing the amount and effects of such toxins that threaten and taint our babies’ present and future health and happiness.
All these toxins (and more!) are real and present in most homes unless we take active steps to remove or reduce their amounts significantly.
Otherwise they quietly nullify our noble efforts and dreams for our kids…
They will sabotage our babies’ health in a myriad, scary ways, taint their brilliant minds with hyperactivity and neurological / behavioral disorders and steal away unique opportunities to learn and grow up optimally.
We can’t let that happen!
As a mother, I feel that I must protect my precious daughter and her future from this invisible danger and I know that most parents feel the same way…
I truly stand by our children’s right to a healthy and happy future; we shouldn’t let anybody take that away from them.
This is madness and it has to stop.
For many products and objects we use on a daily basis, we trust they must be safe, since they are sold freely in the market.
We have been misled.
SO many things our children touch, sleep on and roll on every single day since the first day of their lives emit and/or release measurable amounts of toxic cocktails that can harm them. And this is a chronic, cumulative exposure, not a one-time event…
The problem is that as parents we never receive information or education from doctors or relevant authorities about these issues and we unknowingly allow our children to be exposed to dangerous toxins every day.
Many epidemics (like childhood cancer, ADHD, asthma, allergies etc) have a strong toxic component that we can (and should) get out of the picture and our children’s future. Autoimmune, life-threatening and chronic diseases are on the rise and the wrong diet is only part of the only reason why we and our children suffer. The increasingly overwhelming presence of toxins is affecting immensely and predisposing the youngest and most vulnerable humans to diseases that hardly existed 100 years ago.
of developmental disorders in children are attributed to environment
Autoimmune, chronic and several life-threatening childhood diseases are on the rise.
It is our responsibility to protect our children and secure a safe and healthy future for them, but we must act asap.
First of all, we must be adequately informed. Knowledge is true power and the most effective way to find practical and reasonable solutions.
This is why I created SAFE, an online program designed to help you make your home the sanctuary you want it to be for your children to grow and thrive.
SAFE was born out my personal effort to protect my own baby and my family from harmful household toxins. As a mother, I know that it can do the same for you too.
Home detox is the most efficient and realistic way to make sure that our children will be healthy and happy from babyhood and all the way to adulthood.

Of course!
Week 1: Nursery and bedroom (crib, mattress, baby-related products)
Week 2: Kitchen
Week 3: Bathroom (including personal care & hygiene products)
Week 4: Living room (Floors, dust & indoor air)
Week 5: Cleaning and the home microbiome
We need to be realistic; it’s almost impossible to remove every single toxin from our homes. But by doing our best for what we can change, we worry less about the things we can’t do much about. Here’s what will happen by the end of the program.
Absolutely! Reducing the toxic load in your home and the areas where your child plays and grows can have an immense positive effect in her/his health and should be part of every healing plan since day 1.
It’s impossible to avoid toxins entirely because they are all around us and in most places we visit/live/play every day. For toxic sources at home that are difficult or impossible to remove, you will know the best (and sometimes the only) ways to manage and reduce toxic load.
There is a very clear link between several classes of environmental (and dietary) toxins and learning, behavioral and neurological difficulties. Removing these toxins from your home is FUNDAMENTAL for relieving these issues without drugs or other medical assistance. There is also a special add-on module for children diagnosed with ADHD which examines and summarizes all the toxic dangers that are linked to hyperactivity.
Yes! Most environmental toxins in our homes weaken and overwhelm the immune system. This is especially true for most respiratory, neurological and digestive disorders. Detoxifying your home is a tremendous help for your child’s body, which could be overloaded with toxins (which contribute to and facilitate disease development) to start with.
You are apparently doing a great job with your kid, but the most important thing to remember is that exposure to toxins is chronic and cumulative (and in the case of our children life-long), which means that these chemicals could be accumulating in your child’s body continuously and affect her very slowly. Although your child is doing fantastic now, depending on her/his genetic makeup and environmental stressors encountered, (s)he could still be predisposed to health problems later in life. Ensuring that our kids spend the majority of their time in the safest possible environment is a long-term investment for their future. This is the most fundamental concept of SAFE.
This is a classic argument that many industry representatives use to convince people that the use of chemicals in their products is OK, but unfortunately independent scientific research says otherwise. For some chemicals toxicity depends on the dose indeed, however many chemicals act as hormone disruptors and are well known to cause significant biological effects even in background concentrations. Remember that hormones in our bodies are also produced in minuscule amounts, yet they have the power to control every aspect of our biology. If natural hormones can do that, why similar quantities of synthetic toxins wouldn’t be able to disturb this sensitive balance and, eventually, cause disease? Also take into account that exposure to these toxins is firstly chronic and cumulative (and for most kids life-long) and secondly we are exposed to a cocktail of toxins on a daily basis, not one or two isolated compounds. And this is why we must try to remove as many toxic sources as possible from our homes.
