Who you'll work with

Run by Alexia, measured with Lori.

Two mothers with one goal: healthier homes. Alexia spent a decade in consumer products; Lori has spent twenty years making indoor spaces healthier.

Founder, Healthier Places · products, materials & recommendations

Alexia runs Healthier Places. A decade inside consumer products — grocery storefronts, her own organic food company, and one of the country's biggest household-goods companies — where she learned how little a label tells you. Then came two kids, both under five. She handles what you do about the findings: what to buy, what to skip, and where the marketing is doing the work. She writes Little Green Steps.

Questions

The things people ask first.

How do I choose a package?
Start with what's going on at home: a new baby, allergies or asthma, a move or renovation, or simply wanting peace of mind. Each package focuses our measurements on what matters most for that need. The Full Home Workup covers all ten areas, with a longer visit, a detailed shopping guide, and a thirty-minute review call. Not sure? Take the 2-minute home check, or ask for a free 15-minute call.
What if everything looks fine?
That's a good outcome, and a common one. A screening that comes back clear is worth having — you stop wondering about the air, the water, and the things you can't see for yourself. You get the same full report either way, so you can see exactly what was measured and where each reading landed.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No — and please don't clean or change anything. We measure your home as you actually live in it.
Can this replace a home purchase inspection?
No. A purchase inspection covers the building's condition for the sale — roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, pests. We cover none of that. We measure the conditions inside the home that affect the people living in it.
Do book us before you buy if you want to know what you're moving into — just alongside a purchase inspection, not instead of one. And where something needs a specialist, like asbestos or a full mold investigation, we'll point you to one.
What about lead, or mold?
Lead in your drinking water is included; lead in paint and dust is an add-on. Either way it's a screening, not a certified inspection — those are regulated, and we'll refer you if you need one. We check for visible mold and the humidity that causes it; a full investigation needs a specialist.
Do you sell the products you recommend?
No. We don't sell equipment or perform remediation, so we've no reason to find a problem. Some product links may earn us a small commission at no cost to you; it never changes what we measure or report.
What areas do you serve?
Anyone, anywhere. In-home visits cover the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Everywhere else, we work with you by video: virtual consults, registry reviews and renovation & design consults. If you're further out and want someone on site, email us and we'll see if we can arrange travel.
More from clients

“They brought monitoring devices and noticed things I hadn't even thought to consider.”

David S.Homeowner in Moraga, CA
Read the full review

I am very satisfied with my healthier home assessment. It's like a pre-purchase home inspection, but specifically focused on the health and wellness aspects now that we've moved in. The pre-survey was quick, and the in-home assessment was professional and well-organized. They brought monitoring devices and noticed things I hadn't even thought to consider. The red, yellow, green format in the final report was great for making it easy to identify the biggest issues and take action fast, which I did. I will definitely recommend this service to my family and friends.

“Lori is the real deal.”

Erica C.Business Owner in Pleasanton, CA
Read the full review

Lori is the real deal. She pursues health in every meaning of the word, and her home and office consultations touch on these all aspects of health as well.

In my small business she gave me small practical action items (such as increasing air flow and improving filters with my existing air conditioning system). Lori listened to my unique workflow and the way I use my space and interact with clients, so the consultation was completely customized.

I look forward to working with her again!
