Mindful Market

Mindful Market made its debut in November 2020, first as a popup in the Dwellings Home store, and, following a great initial reception from the public, as a stand-alone store and café in May 2022.

Mindful Market was born out of Gael Alluard’s, Co-founder of the Dwellings Lifestyle Group, passion for wellness. She became certified as a Yoga Instructor and Holistic Health Coach during the Covid pandemic and wanted to share her new-found knowledge with the wider public. With her extensive experience in lifestyle retailing and marketing, creating an inspiring space filled with amazing products came as a natural expression of her vision.

Gael Alluard, Co-Founder, The Dwellings Lifestyle Group

“Once I learned more about the negative impact of processed foods, environmental toxins, and stress on general health and their role in creating chronic illnesses, I wanted to share this information with everyone and help my community get healthier the best way I knew how: by giving them greater access to healthful products. Mindful Market, like all our other retail brands in the group, goes beyond just selling products. We deliver an experience; a place where customers can reconnect with themselves and find products and fresh meals to support their individual dietary preferences. Our goal is to make it easier for our customers to lead a healthy lifestyle without feeling like they are compromising taste, comfort, or quality. Eating and living healthy should feel like an act of self-care, not a chore.”

From the moment you step through the door, you are greeted with a smile by the friendly and knowledgeable team as well as an array of unique products and colorful surroundings. The café is at the heart of it all with customers meeting there to enjoy a meal, drink, or snack at all hours of the day.

“We wanted to convey happiness and positive energy to our customers in this space while making it easier for them to shop for their healthy lifestyle.”

Here you will find over 3,000 products to cater to dietary preferences such as Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan, Organic, Vegetarian, Keto, Paleo, Low FODMAP, and more. From groceries to organic wines, prepped meals, natural and herbal supplements, clean beauty, and household products, Mindful Market is a true one-stop shop for wellness seekers. Most of their organic, vegan, and biodynamic wines are exclusive and all are highly rated yet affordable. The wide variety of good-foryou snacks and desserts offers delicious clean versions of conventional favorites so you can indulge guilt-free. Their pantry essentials make it easier than ever to swap out harmful ingredients from your favorite recipes. At the back of the store, you’ll discover the wellness area bursting with beauty products and natural supplements, as well as a beautiful selection of crystals, yoga gear, and inspirational books to support mindful living.

All items sold in the market are carefully researched and selected to meet the highest ingredient quality standards as well as environmental and fair-trade practices. Special attention is given to B-Corp, BIPOCowned, women-owned, small businesses, and local products to create an inclusive and balanced assortment. The team stays abreast of the latest industry trends, health and wellness articles, and client requests to provide a unique, fresh, and varied range catering to their customers’ needs.

In addition to the grocery section, Mindful Market’s Café offers a wide selection of wholesome meals, snacks, desserts, and beverages made fresh daily in-house. The menu was developed by renowned Chef Manuela Scalini and Gael Alluard to create nutritionally balanced options that everyone can enjoy. From Vegan to Gluten Free, to Keto and Paleo, there is something for every diet here and all options are delicious and nutritious. Pick up your food to go or enjoy your fresh pre-packed meal in their cozy lounge with a glass of wine, fresh-pressed juice, or coffee. Their entire menu is also now available for convenient home delivery through Hopscotch. Free wireless internet access is available so customers can stay connected with work and friends during their visit. The Grab & Go meals are also a great option to keep in the fridge or freezer for nights when inspiration fails to strike.
