How do you describe your business?

All our products are locally made in our workshop or by our seamstresses who live in the region. The designs are created by us and produced by our team. We carefully select our materials to minimize our environmental impact. Our barley grains and lavender are certified organic. Our products are available in over 200 retail locations across Canada.

What’s your bestselling product?

Among our hot and cold therapeutic compresses, the therapeutic lavender mask is the best sellers. The yoga and meditation cushion category has been gaining popularity in recent years; the best sellers in this category are the large rectangular bolster and the zafu.

Why do you think they’re so popular?

The therapeutic mask is an exceptional product, offering deep relaxation and relief from various issues such as headaches, dry eyes, fatigue, and anxiety. When worn, its immediate soothing effect helps melt away tension. The grains inside the mask mold to the shape of your eyes, gently providing a cooling or slight warming sensation, depending on your preference. The soft lavender scent enhances the experience, promoting calm and tranquility, making it a highly effective tool for relaxation.

This mask is a popular gift choice because it’s always a thoughtful gesture to offer someone you care about a moment of well-being. It’s not just a product but a way to share relaxation and comfort with those you love.

What’s your personal favourite product?

Personally, the one we use the most at home, including with our three children, is the long wrap-around pillow. It’s the most versatile with its length and the six sections that evenly separate the grains. Our competitors don’t make these seams, which make the pillow so much more ergonomic. This pillow contours to every part of the body (back, abdomen, neck, knee…) to relieve pain (menstrual cramps, muscle tension, migraines, inflammation, arthritis…) with hot or cold therapy. It can be positioned horizontally, vertically, or even wrapped around a limb. The grains stay evenly distributed, and the heat or cold lasts for about 20 minutes. Guaranteed relief!

What’s your favourite local Quebec business?

We love Atelier Tonic products, made in Montreal. They perfectly complement our products! You can use the mists on our cushions, diffuse the essential oils during your meditation, or relieve a headache by combining their roll-on oil blend with the lavender therapeutic mask. That’s why many of their products are available on our online store.
