our Story
The Balanced Market was born from the shared passion and personal experiences of two sisters, Sophia and Madeleine. Faced with the challenge of finding clean wellness items in Canada, they embarked on a mission to make these essential products easily accessible to fellow Canadians. For Madeleine, a new mom, it was about providing clean options for her son and family, ensuring a healthier lifestyle for her loved ones. Sophia, on the other hand, began a deeply personal healing journey, which inspired her to bring the benefits of clean living to others.
Their dedication to wellness, coupled with their own struggles, drove them to create The Balanced Market, a platform that empowers Canadians to embrace a cleaner, more balanced way of life.
Join us at The Balanced Market and explore our meticulously curated selection of clean wellness goods, and embark on a journey to a healthier, happier you.
