Tonya Harris is an award-winning environmental toxicity specialist and the founder of Slightly Greener, offering busy moms simple and doable solutions to reducing toxins, without turning their lifestyle upside-down.

As a childhood leukemia survivor and the mother of three (one with multiple learning disabilities), Tonya’s path has led her to helping parents learn how toxins in the home can affect their child’s health. In addition to Board certification and a Master's degree in holistic nutrition, she holds multiple certificates in the environmental health field.

She is the creator of the Slightly Greener Method™, and has been featured in Parents, Reader’s Digest, Bustle, and Thrive Global, and on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, The CW, as well as on several morning shows such as Good Day Charlotte, Good Morning Cincinnati, Fox 2 in St. Louis, and Colorado's Best.

Tonya is also the author of Henry the Flying Squirrel, where her mission includes showing children that it is possible to overlook their label - whether it is a learning disability, behavior issue, or diagnosis - and to realize their strengths. She believes that what makes you different can be your superpower, and shows children that it is possible to look beyond their label or diagnosis and realize their true strengths.

Tonya is also the founder of Clubs to Cure Kids, from which she has donated over $160,000 for childhood cancer research and family support programs at the hospital where she was treated, as well as Make-A-Wish Illinois.
