  • Measuring electromagnetic fields in homes, on properties, at workplaces

  • Providing science-based advice on low-EMF options

  • Empowering people to sleep better

  • Researching healthy building materials and technologies

  • Translating the Building Biology Course IBN and other key documents into English

  • Teaching workshops and giving presentations on healthy sleep, natural building, and best practices for low-EMF wiring, safer use of mobile devices, and siting of cell antennas

I focus on what really works, what is possible, and what will make a difference for you and your family. I know what it’s like to be sensitive to light, electromagnetic fields, wireless radiation, and other things in the environment that can make you sick.

Wireless radiation and electromagnetic fields can be confusing, but they don't have to be. I’m here to help you navigate the invisible world of electromagnetic fields with confidence — to stay healthy or regain your health.

FAQs

I’m sensitive to EMFs. How can I protect myself?

Do earthing/grounding sheets and dirty electricity filters help?

I have a hard time sleeping. Could the new Wi-Fi router be to blame?

Why is my EMF meter showing high levels of EMF all over my house?

I have an EMF meter, but I don’t know how to use it.

I don’t use any wireless devices, but my EMF meter shows high levels. What is going on?

I feel zapped when I touch my computer. What’s wrong?

Do low-EMF Wi-Fi routers and shielding bags really work?

I painted my bedroom with shielding paint. Now the room feels even worse!?

The only way to know what you are exposed to is to measure your exposure where you are exposed. You can then use the results to make an informed decision about how to reduce your exposure, especially in those areas where you spend a lot of time such as your bedroom, home office, or workplace.

Getting to the root of a problem requires an open mind. Often there is more than one source of interference. Sometimes people will point to a source of their discomfort that turns out to be unremarkable based on test results. In my experience, however, any place where someone feels particularly unwell usually has one or more environmental factors that are significantly above average ambient levels.

Basic readings
of ambient levels

  • RF radiation / wireless radiation

  • ELF electric field

  • ELF magnetic field

  • Intermediate frequency field / dirty electricity

Step 1: Measurement

I specialize in measuring exposure levels of electromagnetic fields over a wide range of frequencies, such as those emitted by power lines, wiring in walls, appliances, wireless devices, cell towers, smart meters, LED lights, etc. As I take measurements, I will explain how the various exposure levels relate to the natural background levels, official exposure limits, and precautionary recommendations from concerned scientists and medical experts.

Detailed readings
in high-use areas

  • RF radiation / wireless radiation

  • ELF electric field

  • ELF magnetic field

  • Intermediate frequency fields / dirty electricity

  • Static electric field

  • Static magnetic field

  • Gamma radiation

Additional factors

  • Carbon dioxide

  • Light level

  • Light flicker rate

  • Particulate matter

Step 2: Evaluation

At very high levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields, acute biological effects such as heating are well established. Official exposure guidelines protect against these harmful short-term effects, but they don't necessarily protect against long-term effects. In most homes, official exposure limits are not exceeded.

Chronic low-level exposures to electromagnetic fields, on the other hand, are common in homes and also workplaces. Among other effects, they can cause excessive oxidative stress, which has been linked to a wide range of health conditions and diseases. Precautionary guidelines take this into account. The following key precautionary guidelines, among others, are used to evaluate the measurement results.

Step 3: Preventive action

Recommendations for preventive measures will be discussed with you on site and provided in a written report (PDF) for your reference.

The report provides instructions on how to reduce your exposure if elevated levels are found.
Many changes to reduce your exposure can be made immediately; others may require more extensive electrical work, shielding installations, or other remediation. Recommended shielding products and other remediation products are also included in the report.

  • "Thank you so much Katharina for your incredible help in figuring out what is best for us. Your knowledge and expertise are invaluable and so very useful."

    Michael, client

  • "Thank you! Your tips were very helpful. Just having some data points and confirmation of what I have been feeling is huge."

    Tammy, client

  • "Thanks so much, Katharina! I am so lucky you are there and I don't know what I would do without you."

    Arlene, client

  • "You have made very positive changes in my health and life – I didn’t know anything about EMF until you came to our home. Heart palpitations and tremors have all gone since we made the changes you suggested."
