Business Consulting
I have thirty years experience running my own one-person business. I have learned a lot about business in general and specifically about how to create and market nontoxic products.
Here are some things I can help you with...
Website Review
I've been looking at websites almost all day long for eight years and have also built my own several times. I know a lot about what makes a good website, and often small changes can bring big increases in sales.
I can review your website and give you a list of suggestions, and then help you implement them if you want.
We talk on the phone. You take notes. If you want me to write a report, it's extra.
CN 2001 Website Review $299.00
Internet Marketing Review
I've learned a lot about internet marketing by doing my own. There are many things you can do to promote your business online that are free or inexpensive, and easy.
I can review what you are doing and give you a list of suggestions, and then help you implement them if you want.

CN 2002 Internet Marketing Review $299.00
Writing Services
I've been writing about toxic chemicals and nontoxic products for thirty years. I've written books, magazine articles, website content, mail order catalog copy, fact sheets, product literature…If you need it I can probably write it and write it well, on time, and bring decades of background understanding to the subject.
If you would like me to write for you, please contact me to discuss your project.
Media Spokesperson
One of the best exposures you can give your business is radio and television. But you need to do it in a way that is professional.
I have thirty years experience in the media. In 1982, Bon Ami sent me on two national tours, doing newspaper, radio and television in 10 cities. I spoke about natural cleaning as author of my book, and carried props that included lemons, vinegar, and Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser.
And I've done the same for other companies since.
I can do radio, television, appear at trade shows, wherever you need a knowledgeable and credible representative.
If you would like me to represent your company, please contact me to discuss your needs.
Helping consumers make toxic-free choices since 1982.

Debra has been guiding me in my efforts to detoxify my home environment for almost a year now. I have been remodeling for the past 6 months, and have consulted with Debra on nearly every product choice. Many of the contractors I've been working with are
'green-conscious' and well meaning, but that does not at all translate into truly non-toxic. Debra is the non-toxic expert . .. consulting with her has saved me immeasurable amounts of time because it would take me months to get the answers I can get from
her within minutes. Also, because toxins so pervade our lives and especially our homes, the process of making these changes and minimizing our exposure to toxins is really overwhelming and stressful at times, and Debra's kind, supportive attitude has been
very helpful to me. Thanks for providing me with the information I need to make a healthy home for my daughter and I Debra! I am very grateful! :)
Debra's consulting services have helped me make my new home as supportive of my health as possible. She advised me regarding heating, air purification, humidity, mold contamination, insulation, flooring, and painting. I depend on her services to make sure
I have covered all the bases of research and consideration before I proceed, or after I have run into a problem and need a way out. She has saved me time, worry and money. Her advice has been balanced, holistic and prudent. She has steered me away from harmful
products, opened my eyes to a better understanding of the underlying issues and has given me humor when gloom seemed to pervade. I highly recommend her to be able to understand, analyze and make recommendations regarding house/health issues quickly and painlessly
for the consumer. I endorse her consulting services wholeheartedly.
Thank you for always being at the other end of the phone to answer my questions! Your work has had a tremendous positive influence on the health and safety of my family.
I can't thank you enough for all your help and advice on how to deal with the toxic offgassing resulting from the application of oil-based polyurethane on the floor at my daughter's school. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your words of wisdom helped
to ensure a healthy environment for our kids.
Debra, several years ago you helped me greatly with your suggestions during our phone consultation. My problem was a cotton quilt with toxic batting most likely containing a residual herbicide that caused me great MCS suffering. I disposed of the quilt and
you suggested "sunning" the pillows and mattress to rid them of possible contamination. I did this and bought only organic bedding from then on and I've had no trouble since. This was an important lesson and it made a big impact in my life. Your website and
blog have helped me numerous times during the past few years. It is very valuable to me!! Thank you, Debra!

Thanks so much for helping me find a natural bed. I hadn’t found the site you recommended when I was researching, so this was a really big help! Many, many thanks for helping me. I truly appreciate it!
Debra Lynn Dadd is my ideal of a good mother- she is wise, practical, informative, kind, positive, compassionate and there when you need her, helping you through the hard times. She has so much knowledge in regards to healthy building materials and healthy
living, it is beyond incredible. add on to that kindness, compassion and a great sense of humor - who could ask for anything more? Thank you so very much, Debra. i know you will be hearing from me for consultations again and again.p
Debra was a huge help to me. When there is so much information on the Internet, you don't know what is true, false and completely biased or paid for. Her expertise & guidance helped me so much with important expensive decisions where I was not about to just
guess & hope I guessed correctly! I appreciate her expertise & will definitely call in the future!
Thank you Debra
Debra -- Just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate how direct and "to the point" you were on your advice and recommendations and that you volunteered info I hadn't considered.
I had a gasoline spill on me last night and the first person i called on my drive home was Debra. She was wonderful and gave me so many helpful suggestions about what I should do to remove the toxins from my body. She is so knowledgeable and realistic in
her advice and recommendations - she is an invaluable resource to us all!
Well we had our tiling done and its a great result, all of a sudden there is no chemical fog when we walk in to the house! Thanks so much for your advice. It takes forever to wade through all the information out there and its been great having your expertise.
I have consulted this website many times during my own years of research, and find her telephone consulting invaluable when trying to sort through a tough challenge. Her perspective is informed by her own journey to health and broad knowledge of the issues.
Thank you for all that you do, Debra!

Our whole family's health has improved--some of the components were changing our eating habits, exercise AND getting as many chemicals as we could out of our lives. What a turnaround. Thanks Debra!
