Dedication, empathy, love, caring, trust, and honesty are just a few adjectives to describe a nurse. As a registered nurse for over 20 years, Kim enjoyed educating and caring for patients of all ages, although her favorites were expectant moms and children. Kim discovered her passion for helping people of all ages stay healthy and vital as they aged while she worked as an R.N at a boutique preventive medicine clinic.

Kim has two sons, who as young children were challenged with allergies, asthma and constant throat and ear infections. Both were on many medications including, inhalers, nebulizers, antibiotics and occasionally even steroids.

Kim became more passionate about health and wellness as she learned of the toxic chemicals and the unhealthy effects of common household cleaners and personal care items found in most homes, schools and day care centers. These common household products contain chemicals that have been linked to many childhood diseases. Of these household products, hundreds of these common chemicals have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities.

Kim did the necessary research; she rid her home of toxic products and replaced them with green cleaning products containing safer, healthier ingredients. The improvement in her children's health was nearly immediate, and quickly, as their conditions improved, they no longer had any use for the many pills, inhalers, and nebulizers they had used daily.

Today, Kim is a strong advocate of educating families to the dangers of common products found in the home, and she recommends safer, healthier, and more cost effective alternatives; especially green cleaning products. It literally costs less to use better, safer green cleaning products. Kim's mission continues - to create the healthiest and safest environment possible for children and their families.

"No one can do everything, but everyone 
can do something."

As one of 13 kids in her family (she being the ninth) Mariette is an outspoken advocate of children’s health and environmental safety. “I was brought up on a farm in a little village in Northern Canada. The air was so wonderfully pure. We were blessed with marvelous vegetable gardens, very rich and abundant, even if we had only three months of the year to grow our gardens. Then I moved to the big cities….."

It is only when I joined a Wellness Company dedicated to the concept of  TOTAL  WELLNESS, from physical, environmental, financial and personal wellness, that I realized how badly we have polluted our homes, our foods, air and water and placed our families, our cherished children, in terrible toxic and harmful environment.

Yes! I am very passionate about educating, supporting and guiding families, day care centers, and schools to substitute everyday toxic and harmful cleaning and personal care products for healthier, safer and more environmentally friendly ones. Green cleaning products is the first step. Thank God we DO have alternatives today. We have products that help us live longer, healthier, more vibrant lives.
