A lover of thunderstorms and camping in the rain, upward dog, downward dog, and her own dog Linus, Erin comes to the tuja team with a deep understanding of ecology, yoga and the fine art of smoothie creation. A professional ecologist turned self-proclaimed foodie and yoga teacher, you’ll find her researching the latest in green-living, investigating hype around ancient ayurvedic wellness practices (ever heard of oil-pulling!?) and wandering the amazing Coastal landscape – hucking a handstand or down-dog in between it all.

Niki is a lover of learning - she’d study every imaginable topic if she could, including Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts. As her patient boyfriend will contest, she’s obsessed with going just a bit further to see around every bend on the beach and peak of land in the mountains. Her friends will tell you she likes to hug trees, occasionally walks too fast, and makes really tasty porridge. She’s a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Yoga Instructor and all-around life and wellness enthusiast.

After fleeing prairie land to be closer to mountains and water, Marissa’s found herself in beautiful Kelowna, which has both in spades. She’s a vegetarian foodie who loves practicing yoga and Reiki, with acupuncture and reflexology next on her to-do list. A warm-hearted Leo, her friends are her family - she’s one protective mama lion to them. At home, on the dance floor or snuggling with kittens, she enjoys any excuse to start a good karaoke session.

This small town girl never imagined she’d be living in the heart of downtown Toronto… but now she never wants to leave! Mary loves playing tourist in TO by exploring the summer International Marketplace, trying new vegan soup creations at Fresh, and peering into furniture shop windows along West Queen West. She’s currently completing a Masters degree in public policy and when she needs a break, you’ll find her doing vinyasa or hiking the Humber trails. She’s known for ending every sentence with an exclamation, being so organized that she makes lists within lists, and peeling bananas from the wrong end!

Although wanderlust often draws her away on adventures, the ocean always calls her home. A native Nova Scotian, Ange loves foggy mornings hikes, the salty smell (and taste) of seaweed and the down-home vibe of Halifax. Ange is a landscape architect with a focus on restorative landscapes. A lover of the plant world, she’s also a community herbalist, an aspiring nature therapist and a long-time plant-based eater. Most days you’ll find her becoming one with the forest, contributing to the urban food supply or blissing out on one of Halifax’s nearby beaches.
