My name is Ava Hartwell, and I built the home that nearly destroyed my health.
For months, I battled strange symptoms — crushing fatigue, brain fog, anxiety spikes I couldn’t explain, breathing issues, skin problems, and that awful feeling that my body just wasn’t mine anymore. Doctor after doctor dismissed me. Friends suggested stress. And every time I tried to push through it, things got worse.
It wasn’t until a leak inside a wall revealed hidden mold — the kind that spreads quietly, the kind no one sees until it’s too late — that everything finally made sense.
What followed was a long, messy, emotional journey of:
remediation
medical visits
detox protocols
rebuilding my environment
and, honestly, rebuilding myself
I learned the hard way how much our indoor environment shapes our health. And once I finally got my life back, I made a promise: I would never let another person go through this alone.

Our Mission
IndoorAirInsights.com exists to help you do what I couldn’t — recognize the signs early.
We focus on:
• Healthy home education
Practical, clear guidance on air quality, moisture prevention, hidden mold, safe cleaning, and everyday habits that protect your health.
• Environmental illness awareness
Real stories and real science brought together so people can finally understand what their bodies have been trying to tell them.
• Recovery support
I share the protocols, tools, ideas, opinions, and emotional truths that helped me heal — not as a doctor, but as someone who lived it.
• Empowering homeowners, renters, and families
Most people don’t realize what’s happening inside their walls, crawlspaces, HVAC systems, and bathrooms until symptoms begin. We teach you what to look for.
Our Values
Why This Matters
Most environmental hazards never announce themselves with a dramatic moment.
They whisper.
They hide.
They slowly erode your health until one day you can’t ignore them anymore.
IndoorAirInsights is here to give you:
clarity,
confidence,
and the calm that comes from finally understanding your home.
You deserve to live in a space that supports your health — not steals it.
A Community Built on Honesty and Hope
This website is more than a blog. It’s a place for people who feel dismissed, overwhelmed, or afraid they’re “imagining things.” You’re not. Your symptoms matter. Your intuition matters. Your environment matters.
If you’ve been searching for answers for months — or years — I see you. I was you.
And I want this space to be the thing I needed most during my darkest days:
a voice that says you’re not alone, and you’re not crazy — you’re finally on the right track.
Welcome to IndoorAirInsights.
Take a deep breath.
You’re in the right place.
