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.
