For years I felt I had to sacrafice myself and take care of others. The word “no” was not in my vocabulary. It took me years to understand I matter, I could say no to others and yes to myself.
My upbringing was not supportive, this affected me deeply and ran my life until I crashed. It was my crash that allowed me to find the power to take care of me. It is time for us all to take care of us. Connect with Kim here.

After many years in corporate I saw the higher I climbed the less fulfilled I was. I began my Arbonne business as a side gig as a way to start building an asset for my family, not my boss’. Without any background in the health and wellness sector or in sales for that matter, I jumped in and learned the true meaning of mentorship through my leaders who continue to offer guidance. Because of my Arbonne business I built a safety net that gave me the courage to leave my corporate comfort zone and to finally have a vehicle that allows me to help others looking for more.

I fell in love with painting early on, inspired by both my parents, and by the artist Beatrix Potter, and the Impressionists, Renoir and Monet. Diagnosed with a serious illness at a young age, I would pass long days at the hospital by painting and learning calligraphy from my father.
My family and I spent a large part of my childhood traveling through Europe, where I was inspired by all the rich culture which surrounded me. Later in my teens I taught “ Summer Art”, and am now working with special needs children for the WRDSB, using art as a form of therapy. Connect with Margie here…
