"Not only can things be done differently, they should be."

I believe in the power of nature, the power of creativity, and the power of service as ingredients essential to wellness of body, mind and soul.
Tired of mass-produced, chemical-laden remedies and products, I started Good Spark as a space to combine these powerful elements and normalize incorporating non-synthetic and non-mass produced remedies to holistically nourish ourselves.

WHAT IS A MODERN APOTHECARY, ANYWAY?

In the days of yore, if you felt unwell you sought out the local apothecary. Someone who provided medicines to remedy all sorts of maladies or aches or who knows what else etc. Medicines usually dispensed in the form of herbs and plants (for better or worse).
Today when relief is needed, for, well whatever is ailing our poor tired bodies, we run over to ye ol' local big drug store chain for over-the-counter and in-house pharmacist provided goodies.  Treatments and remedies generally focused entirely on the body.

NATURE

Mother Nature.

She's all of our mothers. Every living thing. As the saying goes, Mother Knows Best! (generally speaking).

We're taking her advice and tapping into her treasures. As well as honoring Indigenous Wisdom.

We curate our small batch, mostly handcrafted offerings from small businesses that believe in what we believe in...

• Non-toxic goodness to help you feel good

• No animal testing, ever

• No chemicals, preservatives, shelf stabilizers

• Environmentally sustainable packaging with as little plastic as possible.

CREATIVITY

Indulge in the little creative joys of expression....

Words of gratitude.
Bad poetry.
Stick figure drawings.
Small water color leaves.

Creativity is a great way to release stress and anxiety. There is zero requirement to possess any type of talent to do anything that that we used just do when we were kids.

Let loose.

Nourish you, nourish your spirit, nourish your creative expression.

SERVICE

Helping others does wonders for our wellbeing.
Making decisions that are inspired and kind does wonders for our happiness and health.
We get it, not everyone has the time or resources to donate. That’s why we’re here!

Feel good knowing you’re helping someone just by buying a gift for your friend, or a journal for yourself. Our Hygiene Kits are created for those who need a little extra help with some basic needs to feel good.

Feeling good gives hope, energy, inspiration and empowerment.

10% of every sale on Good Spark goes toward a Hygiene Kit.

MISSION STATEMENT

VISION STATEMENT

Everyone everywhere, regardless of who they are or their economic situation in life, should have access to the basic self-care and wellness tools they need to feel good.

OUR VALUES

Community

A united community uplifts us, makes us more connected and therefore stronger. As a community of humans, our goal is to spread kindness and spark goodness where it's most needed.

Empowerment

Everyone needs to feel a sense of empowerment over their own lives. Not all do. By providing an inclusive platform to support artists and independent brands, we are providing a source of living-wage income. An income, that is empowering, and is returned to their communities; through commerce, sourcing of goods & materials, or even community programs.

Connection To Nature

Without nature, we do not heal. It is important we both honor that connection and make an effort to preserve nature. We seek products made not only with love but with love for our environment. As a company, we are committed to continually making choices to serve that value better.

Creativity

Innovation, beauty, problem-solving. Creativity is the foundation for everything in life, and at Good Spark.
