Our Values /
Our Mission
At Nurtured Nests, we believe that
-
Dwellings should be free of sources of man-made air, soil, water, noise and electro pollution in order to achieve optimal health.
-
The steps to maintaining a healthy home should be easily accessible to all.
-
Your indoor environments - your home, workplace, car or school - should be optimized for occupant health and well-being to prevent building related illness.
-
Household and personal care products should support and enhance, not degrade, your families health. Pets included!
-
Products, materials and ingredients should be transparent and earth-friendly - sustainable and efficient. Nature should be the standard for product selection without depleting natural resources: What is good for nature is good for you.
-
Beautiful spaces and healthy homes should not be mutually exclusive. A building's interior finishes, furnishing, and accessories should support occupant health and well-being while meeting the esthetics of the client.
We strive to empower every individual to create a safe, healthy, and nurturing home environment. Our mission is to provide reliable, evidence-based resources, tools, and support to enable individuals to achieve their health goals.
We strive to create meaningful partnerships with healthcare professionals and organizations to provide our services for those who need additional support.
We are dedicated to providing comprehensive health advocacy services that are personalized for the individual's unique needs and goals. Our goal is to equip our clients with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to successfully manage their health and wellbeing.
At the heart of our mission, lies a steadfast belief that all individuals should have access to the resources and support they need to create and maintain a healthy home environment for optimal wellness. We are committed to helping individuals develop effective strategies that will promote lifelong health and wellbeing.

JoAnna Elliott
With a lifelong career in real estate development, new construction, renovations, asset management, and sales, Co-Founder JoAnna Elliott, MBA, IEP, BBEC, CMI brings a unique perspective to the relationship between the places we inhabit and our well-being.
JoAnna understands buildings from the inside out yet was blindsided by a prolonged and costly environmental exposure that perplexed numerous medical experts. Determined to reclaim her health, she became her own best advocate, embarking on a journey that fundamentally reshaped her understanding of how the built environment—and the decisions made by those responsible for it—can influence our health and quality of life.
This experience transformed her professional purpose, leading her beyond a seasoned real estate career into the specialized field of indoor environmental consulting, with advocacy at its core. As an Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP), her expertise is supported by accredited certification as a Council-certified Microbial Investigator (CMI), certification as a Healthy Materials & Sustainable Design Advisor, successful completion of the entire Building Biology Environmental Consultant (BBEC) and Building Biology New-Build Consultant (BBNC) curriculums, along with extensive training in biological contaminants and building industry pollutants.
Together, her professional background and specialized education provide a comprehensive foundation for identifying environmental hazards and integrating health-conscious building practices into existing homes, renovations, and new construction.
Whether evaluating an existing residential property, guiding a renovation, or advising on new construction, JoAnna helps clients make informed decisions about environmental conditions, building design and installation, as well as material selections that can influence their well-being. As both an IEP and health advocate, her holistic view reflects a deeply personal understanding of the importance of informed guidance, accountability, and client advocacy throughout the process that results in unparalleled outcomes for her clients.
Her mission is rooted in a simple yet powerful belief that healthy environments should be available to all, and the buildings we steward should support our health, not compromise it.
Rosa Ferro
After experiencing a personal health transformation through deliberate changes to her own physical environment, Co-Founder Rosa Ferro developed a core conviction: our homes dictate how we feel, heal, and thrive. She sought to elevate everyday living by aligning design with human biology and learned firsthand how deeply a space can impact the spirit.
As a luxury residential designer specializing in wellness-centered interiors, healthy materials, and organic harmony, Rosa guides clients through large-scale renovations, new builds, and beautifully balanced spaces. Her mission is to craft sanctuaries that nurture the soul while celebrating raw, cultivated craftsmanship.
What transforms Rosa’s work is her rare combination of creative vision and more than two decades of elevated real estate financing experience. Having navigated thousands of clients through high-end property acquisitions, she brings vital ground-level wisdom to construction strategy, budgeting, and long-term asset value.
Influenced by healthy building practices and the grounding textures of coastal and mountain living, Rosa’s holistic approach creates homes that feel deeply personal, balanced, and alive.
