**OVERVIEW**:
For over 25 years we’ve been helping our community with essential oil blends that actually work. These essential oil blends treat stress, pain, gut, balance, and support in relaxation prior to sleep, and for symptoms of coughs and colds. We know that a life committed to wellness is greater than one focused on illness and believe that reaching for natural can enhance your long-term health and wellness, every day.

We have been ranked by Canadian Business and PROFIT as one of Canada’s fastest growing companies. To support us on our journey, we are seeking diverse, purpose-lead people to join our team.
