Tanya Lapinski Murphy is a concerned mother of 2 children who lives in Westport, Connecticut. She serves on several local boards in her community. Her entrée into the subject of human health and the environment came when a close family member was diagnosed with an environmental illness. After having worked closely with her family's environmental health physician while pregnant with her first child, it became clear that the positive changes being made for the family member would no doubt be very positive for her unborn fetus, as it initially proved to be for their pets. Shortly after the birth of her first child and a move to the Northeast, she learned about CHEC and immediately became an advocate for CHEC's message.

She and her husband David live with their 2 children, Liam and Faithe in a home and garden they built using non-toxic materials and products. Tanya holds a Master's Degree in Spiritual Psychology (COC) from the University of Santa Monica."
