In A Healthier Home, Shawna Holman, founder of A Little Less Toxic, provides an inspirational yet achievable approach for making the home a safer space.

With all the time spent at home in recent years, you probably realise how much the inside of your home contributes to your mental and physical health, for better or worse.

The good news is that you can control and improve the environment inside your home, and A Healthier Home provides an accessible, room-by-room roadmap for doing just that. Wherever you are on your journey to a healthier home, author and founder of A Little Less Toxic, Shawna Holman, offers realistic steps you can take to maintain a less toxic living environment that aligns with your values.
