Your guide to finding a home that supports your health and wellbeing—designed to use at every property you visit.
House hunting can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time, especially when you’re trying to make a decision that impacts your health long-term. The Wellness Moving Guide brings clarity to the process with simple, actionable checklists that help you evaluate a property beyond surface-level finishes.
At DesignWell, we believe your home should actively support your health—just like the food you eat, the products you choose, and the way you spend your time. You can eat clean, exercise, and invest in wellness routines, but if the environment you live in includes hidden moisture issues, mold potential, off-gassing materials, or poor air quality, it can quietly undermine your wellbeing and healing.
This guide was created to help you avoid those hidden risks before you commit. It organizes your decision-making into three clear categories so you can assess each home with confidence:
AVOID: red flags that may indicate bigger health risks or complications—often costly, complex, or difficult to remediate.
FIX: issues that can frequently be improved with the right plan, questions, and budget—so you can weigh the true cost and effort realistically.
IDEAL: the conditions and features that tend to support long-term wellness, comfort, and peace of mind.
You’ll also be guided on what to look for during a walk-through, what questions to ask, and when it’s worth bringing in testing or professional support—so you’re not relying on guesswork or “hope” to make a major decision.
Grounded in building science, environmental insight, and wellness-focused design, The Wellness Moving Guide helps you compare properties more clearly, reduce overwhelm, and choose a home that aligns with your values and health goals. Because no space is perfect—but the right one can become a strong foundation for vitality, comfort, and peace of mind.
Perfect for: homeowners, renters, and buyers who want a health-forward lens for choosing where they live—especially anyone navigating sensitivities or wanting to minimize environmental stressors.
