Natural Haven helps homeowners identify and reduce chemical exposures in everyday household products and living spaces, room by room - from personal care products to cookware. Natural Haven takes the guesswork out of finding products that support your health. Nursery setup, mold guidance and recovery, and healthy building consultation as well. All recommendations personally vetted, unbiased, and without affiliations.
Hi, I'm Karen.
As a consultant, consumer protection lawyer, health advocate, and mother, I am committed to helping people cultivate home environments that support vibrant health.
My passion for protecting people and the environment led me to a career as a consumer protection attorney, holding major corporations accountable when they sold products containing dangerous chemicals without proper disclosure. This included cases against corporations for toxic chemicals in everyday products like cookware and baby bottles. Unexpectedly, my work came to a sudden halt when I became severely ill. For nearly a decade, I experienced disabling chronic symptoms including crippling pain and fatigue. Simple tasks like grocery shopping took all my energy for the day.
I was eventually diagnosed with Lyme disease, a pain syndrome, mold toxicity, and environmental sensitivities.
I got my life back by addressing root causes, including minimizing toxic exposure in my home. I know how overwhelming it feels when your health is on the line.
Now I help other people do the same without the guesswork and endless research - from personalized non-toxic product recommendations to guidance on navigating mold issues properly.
Unlike other consultants, I do not affiliate with any brands or accept payment to promote products. Everything I recommend has been personally vetted and researched by me.
Every engagement is delivered by Karen personally, small-batch, direct-to-founder. Whole-home assessments in the Santa Barbara area, virtual assessments and product-swap consultations nationwide, small-group workshops on request. Karen Bloom makes the service she sells her time and attention, applied to the client's home not affiliate links and brand partnerships.

Lived-Experience Founder Story
Karen founded Natural Haven after her own recovery from mold and Lyme illness. The origin story appears in Santa Barbara Independent, Montecito Journal, Authority Magazine, and the Dr. Aimee Egg Whisperer podcast — same story, consistent detail, four independent outlets.
Consumer-Protection Sensibility
Karen brings a consumer-protection legal background to her practice — the instinct to read the label, follow the ingredient chain, and identify where a consumer's exposure is being underestimated. Details on her LinkedIn.
