Love to help women feel good about themselves no matter their shape or size. A proper fitting bra can improve their overall appearance and self esteem. Through my own boutique can provide high customer service and client satisfaction. Love all aspects of owning my own business.

We have had our boutique in Whitby for over 7 years now but I had a previous location in Toronto for over 20 years prior to Whitby. I now have 2 other staff members.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own business?
Love the freedom to develop my business the way I want and the flexibility with working hours and etc. It takes a few years to develop and become profitable to pay yourself. The initial profits need to keep going back into the business. Just love what you do!
