Cory Forrest

Vancouver and Fraser Valley

I started with Ecotrend in April of 2013 after many years in the aquatics industry as a product manager. I am an entrepreneur at heart, and thrive on the challenge of being linked to so many brands and customers in the dynamic natural health industry. Every day I learn something new, and can thank my customers for continuously teaching and growing with me as we work towards a more preventative health mandate in Canada. In my spare time you can find me riding my bike or skiing in the mountains around Vancouver.

Susan Carlson

Vancouver and North Vancouver

My interest in human health and nutrition started in my school years, leading me to a degree in Biological Sciences, and then to become a Holistic Nutritionist. Anyone who knows me would say I love learning about new foods, products and modalities to improve our health and overall vitality. I have a strong background in supplements, and it pairs well with several years of sales experience. I have a true passion to help educate and advocate health and wellness to retailers, consumers and friends alike.

Izabela Maciag

Vancouver and North Vancouver

I have been with Ecotrend since July 2013. I have a strong interest in natural health and I’m very passionate about my work. I truly believe that health care and a healthy lifestyle are intrinsically linked and that each serves to support the other. In my free time I love spending time with my family and I also like to travel. I’ve always believed that travel is one of the best educations that money can buy. Each culture has something unique to offer and I feel fortunate to have had many opportunities to travel near and far over the years.

Betty Norton

Vancouver Island/Gulf Island

I started my journey into the world of health at the age of 18 with an herbal apprenticeship program. This sparked a deep love of natural remedies and healing. After working in the health food industry for 20 plus years in a retail environment, I joined the Ecotrend team in 2009 covering Vancouver Island and the Gulf Island territories. When I am not working with this wonderful company I spend my down time teaching my own herb classes as well as a government funded program for Aboriginal youth during the summer.

Raymond Takashima

SK and MB

The natural health industry has been a huge part of my life for the past 28 years. Gaining experience as a retailer, sales representative, product developer, educator and small business mentor has given me the opportunity to share my experience and learn. I have acquired certification in Iridology, Reflexology, Live and Dried Layer Microscopy, Reiki, and as a Registered Nutritional Product Advisor. This journey led me to join Ecotrend’s amazing team back in February of 2017. Along with my partner of 23 years, my three children and one joyful grandson, each and every day is an adventure.

Len Harrison

Northen AB

I've always been interested in helping people improve their health. Over the years, this passion has taken on many evolving forms. From helping customers directly at the retail level in my earlier years, to educating store owners and staff about the unique benefits of specific products as a rep, to product development; connecting people with quality, effective products providing tangible results has always been my passion. I believe that one should take a natural approach to healing, as Western medicine has been around for a mere fraction of the time that natural medicine has.

Brian Warawa

Southern AB

When I’m not working on landscaping around my home, you can find me somewhere in the Great Outdoors. If I’m not climbing up a mountain, I’m enjoying skiing down one or pitching tent beneath one. My passion for a balanced, vibrant life has been a wonder-filled journey of constant learning and challenging myself. Although new to the Ecotrend Sales Team, I have had the great fortune of working in this industry for over 17 years now, sharing my passion for health and wellness with my great customers and my wonderful family.

Chris Alexander

AB, SK, MB

With 20 plus years in sales including the last 13 years in the Natural Health industry, I have a passion for working with my retail, FDM, and practitioner partners in providing b2b solutions that have a positive result in their business’s bottom line. Passionate about Natural Health; I find my purpose when providing product knowledge in a way that can be disseminated to the public. In my spare time I am an avid downhill skier, and golfer. When not on the golf course, you may find me in the mountains backcountry camping, or hiking filling my camera with lots of landscape and wildlife photographs.
