Lunapads

Our upcoming move (to a new office of our very own!) has us all feeling a bit nostalgic at Lunapads these days. We are in the process of creating a herstorical photo gallery on the site, and in the meantime will share a few bits and pieces here in the blog as we go through this transition and reflect on our journey thus far. This photo of Suzanne and I was taken in July of 2000 - 7 years ago, incredible! I love how proud and excited we look (we were!), so full of Maidenly energy - I don’t know why, but it seems strange to remember ourselves without our kids! We have grown, learned and changed so much since then, and yet our goals and feelings for the company and one another are practically identical.

Seven years ago we were regulars at Natural Products Expo trade shows, working hard to break into the US Health Food retail business. We failed that time around, but fortunately for us the advent of internet shopping (plus finding the right web designers) saved our bacon and we have never looked back. It’s amazing how often life’s disasters can provide the most learning or steer you in a better direction than the one you were taking. So it was for us, and we’re so grateful.

As with life in general, one of the greatest pleasures (and secrets of our success!) of working at Lunapads is the people. Thank you so much to all the women who have helped to build and champion Lunapads: Kathleen, Lan, Mai, Amy 1, Amy 2, Andrea, Judy, Tam, Bronwyn, Deanna, Cath, Signy, Kristin, Frances, Carolyn, Sian, Yuni, Bonne, Sabrina, Susanna, Krisztina, Sharmeen, inga, Heather, Emira, Lauren and of course our current indispensable team of Sandra, Marie-Genevieve, Goni and Lisa.
