Montreal's self-care scene and wellness landscape is experiencing a transformative shift, and it's driven by locals.
Grown from grassroots and driving down-to-earth entrepreneurial ventures, the following people are helping redefine conventional norms of products that go from body care and candles to hair care and cosmetics.
This here's an exploration of stories and creative endeavors from Montrealers infusing the city with new perspectives, practices, and products to nurture a greater holistic sense of well-being.
Hope you find some inspiration in here.
