Minimizing Mold was created based the need for an affordable, step-by-step guide on how to handle mold in a building the proper way from start to finish in the least stressful way possible.

After initially struggling to learn the ins and outs of the mold industry, and discovering so many flaws, corruption, and misinformation going on in the industry, Ashley, the founder of Minimizing Mold, started piecing information together and freely sharing her knowledge and experience on her Instagram page (previously @healingfrommold) while she was battling mold illness and trying to get her home safe again.

What added even more fuel to Ashley’s fire was how inaccessible it was to obtain AFFORDABLE, ACCURATE information without going through hoops to to find it. We all know addressing anything mold related is already ridiculously expensive and stressful, so this has always heavy on Ashley’s mind.

Although we do charge a one-time, lifetime membership fee to access our online mold education portal, it is at a fraction of the price that others are charging. Another plus is our portal will have periodic updates when we have new information to share.

If you are tight on funds, you can always piece together the FREE information that Ashley has shared on her Instagram page and some of our website at no cost to you. However, her Instagram page is not a step-by-step guide like our portal is, and the free portion of our website only contains initial steps you need to take at the very beginning of your mold journey.
