Values We Hold
Family Owned and Operated Since 1997
Nature’s Essence was established in 1997 in Richmond, BC, Canada. With friendly staff and affordable quality products, it quickly became the preferred store in Greater Vancouver Area. From the very start, the founder’s mission was always to offer natural Health products of the highest quality, at an affordable price. Today Nature’s Essence continues its growth with that vision, and it has expanded its retail stores in Greater Vancouver Area, and also in the Greater Toronto Area.
Knowledgeable Staff You Can Trust
The success of Nature's Essence is attributed mainly to our highly qualified and dedicated staff, most of whom are Certified Natural Products Advisors (CNPA), a credential obtained exclusively through the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA). This certification ensures our team possesses an extensive understanding of natural health products and proficiency in critically assessing products on the market. As a result, our staff members are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to provide clear and effective information about the products in our store, including treatments for common conditions that our customers may struggle with.
Beyond their initial certification, our team is committed to continuous learning, regularly participating in after-work training and seminars. This commitment keeps them current with the latest clinical research and studies in the field, ensuring that they're always ready to answer your questions and provide the best advice. At Nature's Essence, we pride ourselves on having a staff that is not only passionate but also equipped with the latest knowledge to help you navigate your natural health needs.
OWNER / GENERAL MANAGER
Raymond Lin
Many of our staff have been working with the company for more than a decade. They are like my family. I would like to give my sincere thanks to them for their hard work and dedication, they are truly the pillars of the company. They have dealt with tens of thousands of customers and answered countless questions. They have become a living library for the products and services that we provide. Despite this, they are still learning! Learning new products and new technologies every day. I have the utmost respect for them!
Canada is a diverse global community with people coming from different countries. We are grateful to be given the opportunity to grow with them in the community over the years, and many of them have become our friends. With their support, we were able to do many things that we thought weren’t possible at the time. For example, we received overwhelming supports from some of our fundraisers. That is why we will continue to look for opportunities to give back to the community.
Ultimately, we want you to love our products and enjoy your in-store and online shopping experience with us. We are confident that you will find Nature’s Essence to be your ideal natural health shopping centre for exceptional quality, reasonable price and convenience. From our family to yours, we would like to give you our genuine thanks for your continued support!
