The pair dive into Aromatherapy, skin care and navigating wellness as a busy parent and small business owner!

Connect with Sarah

Sarah Vezer is the creator of the all-natural, vegan skincare and aromatherapy company, Urban Country Organics. After years of struggling with sensitive skin and trying every product on the market, she knew she had to take a different approach to healing her skin. Sarah began to formulate her own skincare products a little over 8 years ago and officially launched her business here in Stouffville in November 2020.
Sarah is the mother of 3 young boys and a student of aromatherapy at The School of Essentria where she is working toward becoming a Certified Aromatherapist. Prior to becoming a mother and business owner, Sarah was a corporate pilot flying small private jets across Canada and the US. She loved her flying career but knew she wanted to keep her feet on the ground, stay close to her family, and help others achieve naturally healthy skin. She has hung up her pilot hat to focus on her family and continue to grow Urban Country Organics.
When it comes to weight management (losing, gaining or maintaining weight) counting or tracking calories is an effective tool, however it's not for everyone!
For many people it can be a trigger or just not a manageable solution.
This week Gareth shares some alternative solutions that you can simply implement into everyday life!
