Meet Trina
Trina has spent over 30 years in retail customer service and management. Her passion is helping people and knowing that 'service with a smile' goes a long way.
As an adopted child her questions regarding health and medical history went unanswered for many years. In 2017 that all changed for her when contact was made with both maternal and paternal families. Realizing that she wasn't "immortal" and armed with medical background information, she decided it was time to take control of her health and wellness. Small daily changes eventually led her to Parks Health Shop. She is passionate about helping others with their health goals and knows that it’s never too late!
Trina’s “can-do” attitude keeps everything organized and efficient from the backdoor deliveries to the storefront displays. She serves customers with compassion and kindness and always has time to share a story and a smile- and a hug if needed.
A mother of two boys she recently welcomed a grandson into the world. Her down time is spent crafting and spending time with her family, friends and two rescued cats. We appreciate you Trina!
Meet Carina
Carina was born and raised in rural Portugal where, at an early age, she was introduced to the medicinal health properties of food and herbs. She learned the most spending time in the vegetable garden or foraging for berries and herbs with her family.
Yearning to travel the world to learn about new cultures and their ways of being led her to travel extensively throughout Europe and Canada before putting her roots down in Nova Scotia. It was here that she earned her certification in Holistic Nutrition (2006). Since that time, she has held numerous roles in many Health Food Stores in Metro Halifax- from customer service associate to manager.
Her role as wife and mother of a young daughter has sparked an even deeper interest in leading a conscious, aware and honest approach to life. She is a firm believer that fresh food, movement and spending quiet time in nature are some of the main pillars to live your best life.
With over 15 years of customer service experience, you can be sure that Carina will greet you with an open heart and welcoming smile. Her wish is that Parks becomes part of your holistic and trustworthy community.
In her free time Carina can be found picking wild berries with her daughter, volunteering at her local community garden and making new furry friends wherever she goes.
We are grateful to have you on our team Carina!
