Description of Business:
“Pillow Angst”…the quest for the perfect pillow seems to be a common
sentiment we hear from happy clients who have ended up buying enVy.
For me, that quest started in my 30’s when I started to feel the bad effects of
major corrective back surgery for scoliosis 15 years earlier. Oh….. And the fact I
carried 3 babies to full term despite the advice from those who knew better….I’m
a slow learner.
Kim is the co-creator of enVyTM and, quite honestly, the “brains” who started this
whole thing. Her impressive career includes Critical Care as a Nurse Administrator
and as a Botox Medical Consultant with Allergan Canada. Later, as a co-founder of
a company geared to educate and train Doctors and Nurses in the fine art of
Aesthetic Training, she noticed that “sleep lines” were an avoidable effect of poor
sleeping habits…mainly side sleeping. She wants me to mention here that she felt
guilty about taking money from people who came to her to repair the sleep lines
that were avoidable. I am happy to report that I wasn’t one of these people…
however being strapped into a supine position to avoid sleep lines may not appeal
to most.
|
Description of You:
Running into each other was truly karma. Figuratively and factually....I recall our
meeting each other was hard against the boards on the ice with like-minded
Hockey playing Moms. Within a short time, we brought our separate quests
together to design an anti-aging pillow AND an ergonomically pillow. The mission:
How does one have amazing quality restful sleep on their back OR side in perfect
spinal supportive alignment without causing the smashing of their faces into the
pillow causing those “sleep lines” that we wake up to every morning?
From an idea over a glass of wine post hockey game, to 2.5 years of research and
development, to finally enVy… the luxurious necessity plastic surgeons,
dermatologists, sleep specialists, chiropractors and physiotherapist are happily
sleeping with and waking up feeling great AND looking fantastic : )
Kim and I still play hockey….but she’s on my team now. This is better for my back.

Description of Business:
I am the founder of Women & Wealth TM - a boutique style, wealth management service for women and families, offered exclusively through RBC Dominion Securities.
Several years ago I realized that sometimes a woman just prefers to deal with another woman. As such, Women & Wealth TM offers a highly personalized environment for investing a boutique setting - the opposite to a financial supermarket.
Many of my clients are women entrepreneurs (one of the fastest growing business segments in Canada) and I support them by providing specialized advice for both their business and personal financial interests. As well, I regularly nominate people for the RBC Women Entrepreneur Awards www.theawards.ca. |
Description of You:
My goal is to build long-term relationships of trust, and partner with clients to support all stages of their lives (wedding, new baby, career choices, caring for an aging parent, etc.) As a successful advisor since 1996 and a mother of two young girls, I also understand the unique challenges in managing family, children, community and career.
Fluent in English and French, I offer financial services in both languages. |
