Great products. The owner has a wealth of knowledge, but I stopped going because I felt my boundaries on conversation were disrespected over and over. I’m willing to converse about sensitive topics, but it’s feels like a one way street. It would be wonderful if she wrote and sold a book, rather than oversharing with customers. If she was more of a well of information rather than a fountain, I think people would appreciate her knowledge and more. It is off-putting to receive someone’s strong opinions, on things like vaccination, when they’re not asked for. Hopefully she can take these reviews as constructive and let the customers lead the conversation a bit more. I would like to learn more about her natural remedies, but so far it hasn’t been worth the headache of my in store experience.

She doesn’t use computers, so I doubt she ever sees these reviews. If someone who works there does… I know she doesn’t care about “ratings” but what people are writing about their experiences is true and worth passing on to her 😉

Beware: Uncomfortable and Unprofessional Experience

I recently visited this store and was shocked by my interaction with the owner. While I understand that everyone is entitled to their personal beliefs, I found her to be overly forceful in pushing her opinions, especially on topics such as doctors, vaccines, and the government. She didn't seem to care about creating a welcoming or respectful environment and made me feel very uncomfortable. Mental health and personal well-being should be top priorities in any health-related setting, but her disregard for boundaries and dismissive attitude toward differing opinions made me feel uncomfortable.

If you're looking for a calm, professional atmosphere for advice or products, I would highly recommend considering other options. Everyone deserves to feel respected and heard, not overwhelmed or judged based on personal beliefs.

I have known lovely shop owner, Candy for years now and I learn something every time I visit her and even when I just pop by to say hello weekly, she is always so loving and caring and wants to talk and spend time with me. Absolutely the best local Holistic Natural Health shop in the world!
When I shop here I feel like I am shopping at a close friend and family who genuinely cares for my health and is not afraid to tell it like it is! Thank you for your lovely and wonderful years and here’s to many more!

Very unprofessional experience with the owner and insertion of her own personal views about health. Health and supplement stores should be an educational experience.

Kat was wonderful in helping me with my specific needs and sharing her own testimony. She is extremely knowledgeable, and well informed on the processes that go into the making of products. Thanks so much and I look forward to coming back.

Never had issues with my liver and I got a mild elevated enzymes, I took the liquid iron she recommended and I'm no Dr as she says nothing in her store hurts me, as soon as I stopped taking that stuff, I went back a month later for another blood work and everything came back great! She told me to take 20 to 30ml a day.. then we talk about Christianity and how I told her that I'm 7th day adventist and not only her but another customer of hers both sat down with me and I felt like I was getting ganged up on, my friend noticed that.. not anyone's right for what I believe in, she is very opinionated and Mrs know it all. I'll go somewhere else and btw way her stuff is hwy robbery, I can buy same stuff cheaper at another place I know well.

Echoing what many others have said, the owner is extremely unprofessional and honestly seems un or miseducated on most of the things she sells.

If you're looking for good and researched advice around health products, this is not the place for you.

All her vitamins in her store are way cheaper at choices, they have same stuff you can buy 2 of what I got from this store for same price for 1 at choices, highway robbery here.. she might be knowledgeable about vitamins but taking certain things can actually hurt you she says non of it does but they can, I know for a fact. Short term for some yes but not all.
