Rae's Journey to open Organic Oasis
My name is Raeleen McCutcheon and I have been doing hair since 1999. After taking my educational training at Marca College in Saskatoon, SK, I took jobs as a hairstylist at various salons in Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Red Deer before deciding to work for myself and started building a salon in my home in Penhold. In 2007, I went into business as Rae's Hair Design achieving great success for a home based salon. I found throughout the years doing hair I started to develop headaches daily from the ammonia colors I was using on my clients. I started looking for better alternatives with out the ammonia and started noticing the headaches disappear. Around 2012 my oldest son was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome. We started seeing a Naturopath Dr. Johnson at Aspire Natural Medicine in Red Deer and found out that he had extremely high levels of heavy metals in his system. We then started to do detoxing for the heavy metals and dietary changes. I did lots of researching on natural treatments for Tourette's and Tics and found that not only chemicals in the foods he was eating but the chemicals in skin care, hair care and air born pollutants could affect him and increase the tics. So I made it my mission to change anything I possibly could in his surrounding, eating as clean as possible through Organic foods, Non GMO and free of pesticides and sprays on the produce we would buy. I wanted to also make sure that all the lines I was using in my home-based salon on my clients were as clean and started to try to find as many products without artificial fragrances and low chemicals. Through many changes and detoxing we have noticed an amazing turn around with our son. He has hardly any signs of Tourette's. The Tics have almost all diminished.
Then I decided to expand and wanted to give a cleaner environment for Stylists and Estheticians to be able to work and not jeopardize their health while they worked as well as many clients out there that would benefit from the healthier air environment as well as anything that went on their skin and got into the blood stream. As we all no now that many of the things we put on our skin can enter the blood stream just by us using it. So I began formulating a plan to expand the business to a commercial location that is now known as Organic Oasis Spa and Salon.
