Anastasia Akasha Kaur
With over 25 years experience using essential oils, I’m not quite sure why it took me so long to discover Young Living Essential Oils, but better late than never I guess!
I am excited to be bringing my collection of Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils to Summit for you to indulge, spritz, transform, and play with. I will be available in the Night Market to discuss and address all of your aromatherapeutic concerns, dreams, questions, and needs. I will also have a few Premium Starter Kits available for purchase so you can get started on the path to a vibrant, flora and fauna infused lifestyle.

Shanon Sheppard
Magikmala creates wearable spiritual energy…Jewelry infused with spiritual intention for healing, self empowerment and love. Our sacred pieces represent feelings, dreams and ambitions in life that can be integrated into the story of every person that wear our jewelry. There is an energy exchange between the wearer and the sacred piece, as the energy infused by Magikmala along with the gemstones and crystals used, give each piece a new meaning and life, that is then intertwined with the soul that wears it. Each Magikmala piece is unique, one of a kind pieces that will never be re-created. A one-of-a-kind piece for a one-of-a-kind person.

Alison Capstick
Hi! My name is Alison and I am the owner of EL Mala. I was searching for a mala to compliment my meditation practice. I could not find one that resonated with me so I decided to dive in and make my own. I fell in love with the entire process, from choosing the intention behind each bead, telling a story through the design and the creative flow of the layout. I use the traditional method of tying a knot between each bead. I make each one of a kind, custom mala with specific healing stones to provide the wearer with an abundance of positive vibes and energy. Whether you are looking to bring forth love, courage, clarity, or insight, malas are a powerful tool used as a personal prescription for your soul’s voice.You can typically find me being inspired by the ocean in beautiful Prospect, NS where I reside with my family.

Chantal Richard-Mercier
I am a free spirited daydreamer, an introvert, a feminist, a lover of strong coffee, and I delight in the powerful teachings of motherhood, birth, art, solitude, nature, yoga, intuitive dance and adventure. I lead with my intuition and I believe that true beauty lies in love, connection and honesty.
I discovered my love for creating art through photography soon after my son was born in 2012. I left my career as an underwriter to stay home with my sweet baby, and photography began as a way to carve out time for myself, while documenting my son’s childhood and my life as a new mother. My photography is cathartic and now a huge part of my life and in the midst of motherhood, family and home education, I manage to nurture a tiny business while still remaining true to my heart and to the reasons why I began.I define success for myself and for my life as living and expressing my truth, in all extensions of my being. Providing for my family in unique and intentional ways while maintaining focus on my and our dreams. Being able to provide a service to my dear clients, who find and trust me, in a meaningful and loving way.
