In 2020, Christie and her family moved into what she describes as a dream home — a newly renovated craftsman in University City. Within months everything began to unravel. Her daughter developed PANS. Her kidneys began to fail. Her baby was born prematurely. Her dog died. When the family finally tested the house, the results were 'off the charts' for toxic mold. The renovation had trapped the problem behind fresh finishes.

That crisis turned into the practice she runs today. Three years of self-taught study followed — building science, indoor air quality, CIRS protocols, mold remediation, healthy building materials — and Christie retooled her real-estate work around the vetting she wishes someone had done for her family. Her practice is intentionally small (four active clients at a time, no VAs, no delegation), buyer- and seller-side, and grounded in a five-dimension evaluation for every home: mold, EMFs, outdoor environment, building science, healthy building materials, and community fit. The premise is exactly what her tagline says. Home is health.
