Meet your Building Biologist
My name is Carol Parr and work with proactive families sift through health hazards like mould, allergens, VOCs, chemicals and EMFs to get clarity about what’s toxic, what’s not and create truly healthy homes, through feet on the ground consulting and online Mitey Fresh Living.
Using available, sustainable and effective practices improve the built environment, pleasing to the senses and supports healthy living and nature.
Integrating health, natural living and being, I draw on more than two and half decades of experience consulting, educating sufferers with asthma and allergies, chemical sensitivities and paralysis ticks; co-founder to Mitey Fresh Australia¹ and Mitey Shield²; nursing sister, wife and mum of 3.
The official line: I’m a certified Building Biologist, Healthy Home Consultant, Mould Testing Technician and Citizen Teacher. The indoor environment needed a translator so I completed the nationally accredited Building Biology Course specialising in Air Pollution and Air and Mould Sampling; Electricity Fundamentals and Electrobiology; Building Design and Materials; Drinking Water and Geobiology; Conduct Mould Assessments by 2017 with Australian College of Environmental Studies³; Water Damage Technician with Jena Dyco⁴.

The bottom line: I am happy to be me. I believe that you have to be in feet and all, take care and nurture your environment to get to health and happiness … therefore be it. May not be perfect, I am honest, loving and true … I am, simply me. I will step ever so softly on this earth every day … humans live beside nature. I do not believe in complex solutions or generating fear … therefore seek the truth and connect. And, I absolutely believe we’ve borrowed this earth, to pass on in a better condition.
You know what, let me just show you …
We work with proactive women and families sift through health hazards like mould, allergens, VOCs, chemicals and EMFs to get clarity about what’s toxic, what’s not and create truly healthy homes through feet on the ground consulting and online Mitey Fresh Living.
“Carol is admired for her ability to bridge the gap between the layperson, the integrative health community and the building community”.
… as a result of working with me, women and their families thrive, work-places and their personnel prosper, mouldy + chemical + electrical sensitive occupants heal. They’re healthier, they’re alert, they’re happier, more relaxed, more productive, and enjoying life.
Consulting with families and small businesses to search out what is really needed in your environment to survive, and educating about strategies to revive …. I feel are like the roots, I too am grounded as part of a family and small business.
I feel that by standing beside you to look and intuitively understand your space, your environment, educates you to strive, because I too suffer these affects.
… and by striving to a safe, healthy home, empowers you to thrive, … because I, like you, breathe.
In conjunction with integrative doctors, architects and builders, I acknowledge a holistic approach towards healthy, happy homes, lifting heads to look, listen and learn.
From building design and non toxic materials, integrated into dry, clean, ventilated, contaminant free homes to well maintained, pest free, comfortable and safe spaces … is all about the passive foot hold and reach to be lifted up.
Together we bring about balanced, healthy indoor environments and create rooms that provide calmness, healthy sleep, relaxation and restored energy for you and your family, create workplaces that provide ideal personnel attendance and optimum productivity.
By returning indoor spaces to more natural conditions, we strengthen you and your family and your personnel’s mind, body and spirit. It’s nice that it also sustains our planet’s ecology, you’d agree.
Towards healthier living, Carol Parr
