Chani Palindat
Esthetician - Chani (pronounced Shah-knee) has been a holistic esthetician for nine years. I love to go that extra mile to have you feeling and looking your best. I have spent many years advancing my knowledge in skincare, with specific focus on aryuvedic treatments and practices to fight inflammation. I also specialize in foot care for diabetics (and love feet!)... But most of you know me as the local brow guru! When I’m not booked with facials, pedicures, gel manicures, or Brazilians, I’m busy doing brows AND LOTS OF THEM! I am a certified and insured AHS approved Microblading Technician, and this fall will be taking my machine brows course. I take education very seriously, and only train with the best of the best to give you the best! Because of this, I (like the rest of our fabulous team) am often sitting in education classes or conferences to keep up to date on the latest knowledge and practices. Many of my clients ask what my favourite or go-to products are. This changes all the time based on either my or my clients needs, but right now I am loving the Cranberry Pomegranate Masque from Eminence (limited edition, winter season purchase availability). It gives my skin an omega boost from Flax Seeds and is extremely rich in antioxidants! I also love the Jane Iredale powdered foundations, as they are both buildable and breathable (with the added bonus of SPF!). My new favourite product is our Clay Masque from Organic Nation, because you can use it daily as a detox system without drying your skin out... Seriously, try it your skin will LOVE it! When I’m not hard at work with all of you Organic Beauties, I’m home with my three kiddos and hubby. Family and friendship are incredibly important to us, and there’s no better thing than laughing the day away with the ones you love. I enjoy knitting, board games, reading, and have a new found hobby of gardening with my many many plant babies inside and outside our home. And I can’t forget to mention my hobby of eating chocolate! Guilty pleasure, no shame! Thanks for reading up on who I am and what I do, I so look forward to seeing my Beauties at your next appointments, and meeting some new faces too! |

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.
