Before working with Risa, I knew I was sensitive to EMFs (sometimes more than others, so it was especially hard to pinpoint exactly what/where the problems were), and I also knew that I had sensitivities within my home but was overwhelmed at the amount of information and guidance I had received on what measures to take. Nothing felt realistic or attainable and it was very disheartening. After working with Risa, I had a greater understanding of small measures that I could take to reduce exposure on a daily basis, and also had a more attainable ‘big picture’ plan which was very comforting. I no longer felt like we had to pack up and move in order to reduce exposure and my symptoms.

The biggest surprise working with Risa was how thorough, thoughtful and holistically she thinks. Before finding Risa, I had previously worked with a few building biologists who recommended measures that were extreme, permanent, and out of my budget. The entire process before working with Risa was extremely disheartening. Risa is flexible and dynamic in the way she thinks and how she tailors her evaluation and recommendations to meet your specific needs, lifestyle, budget and what is feasible for your living environment.

I was drawn to working with Risa because of her personal story and connection with the experience of being EMF sensitive, while also taking a practical approach that doesn’t involve living off-grid. Risa acknowledges that there are certain exposures in life that are inevitable, especially living in or near a city and living in a tech-based society. She takes a thoughtful approach toward mitigating exposure burden where possible.

The assessment helped us feel so much at peace and ease that there were specific interventions that we could implement immediately, and others, gradually. Every time the readings showed a significant reduction in these invisible “toxins”, we felt a sense of joy and accomplishment. We feel more calm, and the energy within and around us feels more settled, so to speak.

What surprised us most about the assessment was that, we were being exposed to not just the WiFi / cellular radiation and EMFs, but also dirty electricity from incorrect electrical wiring in certain areas of our home. Also surprising to note was how radically the readings changed …the invisible fields almost dissipated in an instant, upon turning off those devices. Last bust not the least, I didn’t realize how much time Risa put in to do the assessments. She is knowledgeable, detailed, and thorough in her work. She also suggested other non-traditional and holistic ideas that we could also incorporate.

Thank you so much Risa. We are very grateful for your time and energy.

Before working with Risa I wanted to learn more about EMFs. I would often buy products as a quick fix not knowing if they actually worked. I have 3 little kids and want to protect their health. I have done a lot of work with my ND to be the healthiest version on myself and knew that learning more about EMF’s would help myself and family. After working with Risa I was able to make instant changes in my home and know that our exposure was less. I feel more at peace in my home knowing exactly what the EMF readings. She also helped me understand what products work and that certain things I thought were helpful were more harmful!

I have more energy now not using some of my products!

The biggest benefit was the instant changes we were able to make the day of her visit. Her profound understanding and knowledge of EMFs, how to measure and then what to do about high readings.

The effects of EMF are real and it’s so important to protect yourself, home and family. Being able to sleep better and feel more at peace in your home is such a gift.

I couldn’t sleep in my own home anymore. I’d been sleeping at a friend’s house for a few months. I was hearing a compressor and feeling vibrations and tingling, especially in my bedroom, which is closest to the HVAC system of the school next door. After Risa took readings and made recommendations, I began following up on everything: fixing electrical faults in the house, switching to grounded, shielded ethernet cords and a special router, etc. Now I’m symptom-free during the day and am on track to be back to normal 24/7. I can sleep in my own bed again.

I spoke to another building biologist and had the usual experience. When I spoke to Risa she started asking follow-up questions and she was happy to provide a report and describe how she’d work with me. She believed me and didn’t question my experience or symptoms. We spoke on the phone for an hour during that first call and I felt so good about the rapport that I cancelled with the first person.

Talking to Risa made me realize how often my judgment and experiences are questioned by service providers. When I first got symptoms, the issue seemed to be sound-related, and I contacted maybe 10 agencies and acoustics specialists, all but 2 of whom dismissed me or never replied. After talking to Risa I knew there was an environmental issue and that I wasn’t crazy. Risa is caring and professional and she will listen to you. If she doesn’t know the answer, she’ll get it for you. She really cares about helping people.

Risa made me feel comfortable when the other people I’d sought help from saw me as crazy or just another job on their list. R isa understands both the science and the energetic components of symptoms caused by environmental factors. You might be surprised by some of her recommendations, but in my case, the things that I least expected to be helpful turned out to be the most important for my healing.

I was experiencing a host of health issues, and nothing seemed to be improving them. I was surprised at after removing myself from a major source of EMFs in my home, and overall reducing everything in my home, that I felt quite a lot better. I am still on a recovering journey, but I can definitely tell certain things are mending much faster now.

The biggest benefit of working together was her detailed knowledge of everything, and being able to not only explain this all, but from personal experience as well.

Working with Risa gave me a great peace of mind.

I was feeling overwhelmed and scared because I was becoming increasingly sensitive to EMFs at a frightening pace.

I had educated myself quite a bit before Risa came over and I had already turned off all the obvious sources of EMFs but Risa identified one really huge one that we had missed and a few others inside the house as well as some sources from outside the house. This was a really big help regarding giving my body a break from what was stressing it. I felt like Risa gave us a lot of really good information and practical tips and advice.

I had actually already hired a building biologist before I hired Risa because he was about 3 x cheaper than she was but he was not very helpful so you get what you pay for. I would say that Risa’s assessment was much more than 3x more helpful than the initial one. She spent about 3x more time than the first one and her meters were also more powerful. She is really knowledgeable, caring and extremely generous with her time. I felt like I could connect with her and trust her. I have been recommending her to other people who are EHS and also to health practitioners who may have EHS patients. When Risa finishes her assessment, she leaves you with a hard copy of her recommendations, etc. and then also emails you a copy with links to resources. I think this is really key and also something really unique about her approach versus other building biologists. Thank you Risa!

The unknown is what caused me the most anxiety. The assessment gave me the peace of mind I needed and the power to change what I had control over. Risa is amazing! she is passionate about her work and dedicated to helping others live their healthiest life possible. she has an incredible wealth of knowledge which she is so generous with!!

As a nutritionist with a special interest in environmental factors in health, I was already well aware of the detrimental impact of EMF’s, their role in contemporary health issues and familiar with more common sources of exposures and starting steps. But I knew there was much more to do and I wanted to reach out to an expert to assess, advise and help me find solutions for myself and in turn, be better informed for my clients. Risa was referred to me by one of the top naturopaths in the country and has been a tremendously valuable and generous resource for guiding me to the next level. While I did not have overt symptoms directly correlative to EMF’s, I am keenly aware of the profound role, these ‘energy disruptors’ are or may play in my health. Risa has helped me to prioritize steps and gone above and beyond with her time and guidance. She is passionate and dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives through her training in this arena. I consider addressing EMF pollution to be a critical defensive move and/or therapeutic opportunity in many conditions – especially those that are chronic, complex and/or neurological. I discuss EMF basics with all of my clients as it is a major ‘elephant in the room’ to incorporate into healing strategies. Risa is a one-stop shop that can greatly simplify this process. Thanks Risa!!

Through the last 7years I have dealt with chronic health issues and sensitivities. I noticed that many of my symptoms and stressors would go way when I as camping or outdoors on weekend adventures. I started looking into how nature and the environment around us can be impacting our health especially those with chronic health conditions leading to symptoms of poor sleep, brain fog, anxiety, fatigue etc. I was overwhelmed with deciphering how to assess my living environment and EMF loads accurately and how this could translate to better health.

I immediately noticed an increased level of ease and comfort in my own home. I could feel the “buzz” in my home is much less and my underlying anxiety subside. My sleep drastically improved. I used to wake up every night between 12-4am and now I sleep through the night.

Risa has a solid foundation of knowledge to help guide you through the process of protecting yourself in your home from EMF’s that can be contributing to your health challenges. Risa is also exceptionally personable and willing to correspond with you regarding implementation of EMF home remediation. I would give her 5 stars!!

Before Risa came to help us make our home safer from EMFs, we felt lost because we did not know which source of information to trust and where to start. After the EMF assessment with Risa, we knew what to do to improve our home environment, and it gave us the peace of mind we needed. We have two children and we now know we’ve done what we can to protect them from EMFs. Risa made us feel comfortable to ask questions and she took time to answer them thoroughly. Her solutions were always practical and her instructions to make improvements were easy to understand. We’re grateful for her service. There are only few EMF specialists in the region, and I feel very lucky to have someone like Risa in Seattle. I hope more people will learn about what she does and will take an advantage of her knowledge and services. I highly recommend her.
