What are EMFs?
The distinction between natural and man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is often made based on their frequencies and wavelengths. Man-made EMFs can be categorised into non-ionizing and ionizing types. Non-ionizing EMFs include low-frequency electric and magnetic fields generated by home wiring and appliances, while high-frequency radio and microwaves are emitted by technologies such as 4G/LTE/5G telecommunication infrastructure, mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi and more.
Building Biologists and EMF Surveyors assess the potential hazards associated with electromagnetic fields, following Building Biology standards, rather than industry standards that focus on the short-term, heat-related impacts of EMF exposure. However, independent studies show that long-term exposure to non-ionizing radiation at levels below those causing thermal effects still has biological effects, and this perspective is reflected in Building Biology standards. Adverse health effects attributed to these polarised electromagnetic fields are often cited in reports supported by independent scientific evidence.
In contrast, natural or native EMFs, such as sunlight, the Earth's magnetism, and the Schumann resonance, are considered essential to life. These natural signals have played a role in evolutionary processes and the biological functioning of living organisms. The argument is made that humans have evolved with these subtle signals and have not adapted to the dense soup of non-native (man-made) EMFs that now surround us.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Man-made (or non-native) EMFs are generally classified into two categories: non-ionising and ionising based on their frequencies and wavelength. Our home wiring and appliances emit low-frequency electric and magnetic fields and technology such as 5G telecommunications, mobile phones, bluetooth devices and Wi-Fi emit high-frequency radio and microwaves. Building Biologists and EMF Surveyors assess these hazards based around Building Biology standards, not industry standards. The adverse health effects of these pulsed electromagnetic fields are based on the reports supported by a plethora of independent scientific evidence.
Natural (or native) EMFs such as sunlight, the earths magnetism and the Schumann resonance are all essential to life have played a role in the evolutionary processes and biological functioning of living organisms. We evolved with these delicate signals and have not evolved to live an artificial indoor existence in a soup of nnEMFs.
In everyday life, people are commonly exposed to non-ionizing EMFs generated by various technologies and devices. Concerns about the potential health effects of exposure to EMFs, can lead to various negative health effects. Therefore the importance of a healthy environment can not be underestimated. Utilising our high-tech professional equipment, we make the inaudible audible and the invisible visible so that we can identify, evaluate and mitigate your exposures, a crucial step toward safeguarding your health and well-being.

Geopathic Stress
The Schumann Resonance of the earth aligns with natural human alpha brainwaves, promoting an optimal state for well-being and healing. Geopathic stress manifests as a disruption of the Schumann resonance (identified by German physicist Winfried Otto Schumann in 1952 at a frequency of 7.83Hz), creating points, grid networks, or zones unfavorable for the well-being of biological life. Many professionals, including physicians, architects, and physicists, have underscored the connection between geopathogenic stress caused by geobiological phenomena and the health of individuals, animals, or vegetation in a given location.
Areas unsuitable for living or sleeping often include those affected by underground water currents, geological faults, disruptions in the Earth’s magnetic field, terrestrial grid networks (such as Hartmann, Curry, and Diagonal grids) and radioactivity. Vegetation exposed to geopathic stress may exhibit growth problems or abnormalities, hedges may struggle or be unhealthy where influenced by an underground water vein or fault line. Trees might bend or grow in avoidance of this stress. Animals and humans may display behavioral disorders and health issues.
Geobiological analysis helps pinpoint these geopathogenic stress points and devises methods to alleviate them. -
Artificial Light
Artificial light has a significant impact on circadian rhythms - which regulate our sleep-wake cycle. Exposure to excess blue light at night which mimics daylight, signals to the brain that it is daytime, promoting alertness and suppressing the production of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain, primarily known for its role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle. It responds to darkness, signaling the body to prepare for sleep and its production is inhibited by exposure to artifical light at night. Additional to its role in sleep regulation, melatonin is as an antioxidant, helping protect cells from oxidative stress. It also plays a role in modulating the immune system and can influence the timing of puberty and menstrual cycles. Additionally, ongoing research explores melatonin's potential role in supporting mental health, with studies suggesting neuroprotective effects and mood regulation.
Electronic devices such as mobile phones, computer screens, TVs and energy-efficient lighting has increased our exposure to blue light, especially during the evening when it disrupts circadian rhythms and can lead to adverse effects on sleep quality and overall health.
Our assesment and replacement of junk lighting, along with the implementation of our light hygiene strategies will allow you to regulate circadian rhythms and contribute to deep and regenerative sleep, health and well-being.
