I spent 15 years in the fashion industry- attained a Fashion Merchandise diploma, worked in a wholesale agency, and traveled globally viewing the world’s best fashion. This experience combined with numerous years of dance training + practicing yoga has cultivated my love for all things beautiful and creative.
Having earned a BSc in Nutritional Science from the University of British Columbia, I also take a science-based approach to a holistic lifestyle and my family's diet. I love learning about health + nutrition and sharing helpful information and simple recipes with my followers.
Now I am actively involved in my local fitness community and participate in all kinds of classes like: barre, Pilates, spin, vinyasa yoga, hot yoga, and Bikram.
Supported Soul's strategic plan resides in Port Moody, British Columbia, but to provide the best products and designs, I have carefully engaged a network of artists and producers from around the world. Currently I am working with consultants and designers from: USA, United Kingdom, Dubai, Australia, China, and Canada.
It’s important to me that our products are ethically sourced + sustainable. Our Supreme All-In-One yoga mats are machine washable, recyclable, biodegradable, and contain no toxins or chemicals. I’m also passionate about supporting my local community. I work with talented artists to create our vibrant designs, and promote + collaborate with other local brands.
Ongoing market research and close relationships with key product designers and manufacturers has enabled Supported Soul to offer the latest products; tried, tested and analyzed before being presented to you.
