Jenny Smith @mouldconsultancy has been an HVAC specialist (heating/ventilation/air conditioning) for decades - she’s had clients from NASA to the biggest commercial property developers and even wrote the manual on A/C split system installation for Australia in the early 2000s.
And then there was mould and becoming gravely ill to the point she was falling asleep at the wheel and couldn’t walk. She tells that story but also of a pivot to building biology, education and what she’s had build as her home to be well.
While this show is going to be incredibly inspiring for people who have fallen very ill due to water damage and those nasty types of species that grow in those situations that can really mess with our health and cause multi-system symptom mahem, it’s also for:
- People who want to learn some of the places we don’t realise need a good clean.
- People who want to learn about some of the design features in modern homes that have caused so many water leaking problems.
- Dehumidifier tips and tricks including cleaning them
And more. Don’t be overwhelmed by the lengths Jenny has to go for her health when you listen to this week’s show. DO be inspired by her incredible knowledge and some of the things you’ll be able to take away and start doing in your own home.
