We don't openly advocate many companies on Moms For Real Food Initiative which do not directly relate to food, but I felt Saje to be a justifiable exemption.

He spoke, not only about his product, but about wellness, healthy living, and "disrupting medicine". His passion for the importance of using a pro-active mentality towards ones health was based on his own personal journey. There is something to be said about being able to directly associate and relate, when so many of us suffer from some sort of "chronic" illness.
He raised interesting points like: Chronic pain and illness and why these things do not have to be a "life sentence", and how you can become not only healthy but well - permanently.
The discussion of your mind, body emotions all being connected is becoming more and more prevalent, and that if one isn't "well", it manifests elsewhere! Have a sore throat? What is that "thing" you've been keeping in and not saying.
He is also an advocate for other local companies! Case and point: he spoke about organic, locally sourced food and local company SPUD.ca. Then proceeded to give us all $30 towards our first purchase!
Did I mention this class was FREE?
I've tried many different essential oil comapnies, wellness brands and the like, but there is something honest, forthcoming and "non-Amway" about Saje as opposed to other Wellness Companies .....
Why do I love this company?
- The mere fact they are Canadian and not corporately owned is huge. When you buy your oils and products from them, you are still supporting local!
- Jean-Pierre was asked about "organic sourced" during the class, and his response was heart felt and honest; "Organic. When we are able to, we always use organic, locally sourced and even wild crafted herbs."
- All of their ingredients are derived from safe and renewable resources. Packaging is simple, and made of recycled or recyclable materials.
- The products you buy have all been meticulously blended and manufactured with the individuals wellness and holistic lifestyles in mind.
- The co-owner himself comes to his stores to teach. Not a representative, not his assistant, not a "team member", but him.
- They do these classes FREE. (need I say more?)
Co-Founder Jean-Pierre LeBlanc - The products work. If I were stranded on a desert island without Peppermint Halo I'd be a frigging wreck.
- POINTS system - every purchase makes you more money. You earn points and every few purchases you get a full roll on size for free.(varies) I've already cashed this in at least 4 times.
- They take care of their staff - the true sign of a company's integrity is how happy there staff is. Go on, ask one of them!
KEY POINT: As opposed to most "Wellness and Essential Oil Companies", there is no "opt-in", "sign-up", or "minimum purchase required", it's simply wellness for free and if you want to buy stuff, great - but there was ZERO pressure.
