We work with gold and diamonds every day, but we always remember that each piece is more important to our customer than just its monetary value. That’s one reason why we maintain our own repair shop. We take pride in doing that work ourselves rather than farming it out, like most jewellery stores. It shows respect for our customers, and their treasures. We also create custom jewellery for our customers in-house. For example, a bride looking for a one-of-a-kind engagement ring

can meet directly with the designer, collaborate on the details, and end up with a ring that’s absolutely perfect. It’s those personal touches that make DC Taylor worthy of a special trip. WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO COME TO WORK EACH DAY? There’s a tremendous satisfaction in helping a bride find the engagement ring she’ll wear for the rest of her life. Or helping someone choose a spectacular gift for a loved one. These are life-changing moments in the lives of our customers and their families, and we’re honoured to play our small part in them.

PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO LEARN: We take a personal interest in every customer. If you walk into a DC Taylor store, you’re more than likely to find a member of the Taylor family on the scene. We don’t subscribe to the philosophy that bigger is always better. So we’ve only grown at a rate that we can manage without compromising the customer’s experience. We’re proud to have the fifth generation working in the stores now.

strives to master the fit on every individual who takes the time to visit her boutique with personalized comfort and quality in mind. PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO KNOW: As of September 2013, I was privileged to become a Certified Mastectomy Fitter with Amoenaand. As a result, effective 2015, I will be offering my customers a full-service environment specifically catered to postsurgery requirements which will include Amoena made mastectomy bras, prosthetics, lingerie and clothing. In addition, I have written many expert advice articles for local papers and magazines and also had the great honour of being selected as one of six finalists for the “Nelle Carter Woman of the Year Award” for 2013 through the Orillia Business Women’s Association (OMWA).

HOW/WHEN DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS? tnt fine lingerie & bra boutique was a concept created by a very enthusiastic born and raised Orillian, Raffaella Tassone. In the year 2000, Raffaella recognized a niche in the lingerie market in Orillia and decided to apply herself productively by providing this product concept to her community. Over the years, Raffaella recognized a secondary requirement within the lingerie aspect: properly and professionally fitted bras. She has taken great

We also cater to full-figured woman! WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO OPEN? I have always possessed a natural inclination within the business industry. I have a passion for developing innovative concepts and applying them. Being an entrepreneur is something that I wholeheartedly enjoy and back in 2000, I decided to open a lingerie boutique, as opposed to any other concept business, due to the absence of lingerie stores in my community. WHAT’S YOUR BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY? To provide the utmost in quality products in women’s bras, lingerie, shapewear, sleepwear, hosiery and bath and body products. In addition to this, we proudly provide excellent customer service, encourage self-esteem, selfacceptance and equality. WHAT’S YOUR SECRET TO SUCCESS?

e love great design and want to share what we’ve learned over the years. Beautifully designed objects, furniture and home furnishings, one of a kind stuff, lighting and accessories are all things that inspire us. As architects and designers, we want to be a great resource to you so you can enjoy the things that surround you. Often my husband Keith and I would prowl around junk stores to find treasures mostly to look at and enjoy but occasionally to love and cherish. When we were tossing around ideas for a name for our new venture, Keith was reading an article in the newspaper about a shop that seemed like the kind of shop we were aspiring to be. He suddenly said, ‘You can sell your stuff in the front and I’ll be Red Foxx in the back’. Grasping his heart, feigning a heart attack, ‘It’s the Big One’. Suddenly Red Fox(x) sounded perfect. A homage to Sanford and Son – for those who enjoyed that TV series in the 70s. We’re thinking about you, Red. Come in and enjoy the things that we love in the hope that you will share the passion too.

Kitsune is the Japanese word for Fox. Said to be wise, have long life and possess magical powers, all great characteristics for our new venture.

DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS VIBE: At Mojo Music Studio, we make students feel welcome, and that together, we are on a journey of discovery. Also important is that my studio is the student’s studio, and that it is a sacred place for the students to stretch out and gain confidence in their playing and in themselves. WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS? Songwriting - Certain students are motivated to expand their musical knowledge with a view to a solid framework for Lyrics. Together we will work out the central Lyrical idea for their song and explore musical possibilities to match it.

With 30 years of guitar playing, practising, touring, writing and recording, there is one thing I’ve learned about music: it never ends. Whether you are just starting out, are currently playing, what counts is the spirit – or mojo – you discover in making music.

TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS: Mojo Music Studio has been open for just over a year and is steadily acquiring a growing roster of students ranging from ages 6 to 70 years. I teach all styles of music.

IE Wood Fired Pizza is synonymous with good food, a restaurant now with two locations in Barrie and most recently opened in Collingwood. Pie was also featured on The Food Network’s popular show ‘You Gotta Eat Here” so you know you’re in for some good eats. As a certified chef, owner Randy Feltis knows food, and describes PIE as “real food done well.” Walk in the front door and you will find the wood-burning oven with a temperature of 900 degrees, cooking your made-to-order pizza in a mere 90 seconds! The open kitchen area is where the hand-spun pizzas take shape. Creating tasty crusts, chefs turn the dough, toss it, and cover them in sauce. They add toppings and then it’s into the wood fire. All bread and dough items are made onsite; from the namesake pizza pies and the sweet dessert affectionately referred to as “dough balls” aka, one-bite cinnamon and Dulce de Leche delights. PIE chefs roast their own mushrooms, grate their cheese, smoke their bacon, and cure their own pork belly, and they use local beef and pork for the legendary meatballs. Bread service includes fresh warm slices with a side plate of grated Parmesan, balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dipping. A wide variety of topping options includes delicacies. Sandwiches, pasta and grilled items round out the menu. Pie is also proud to host Canada’s largest pizzaeating competition every year! From the mouth of both locals and John Catucci – “You Gotta Eat Here!”

Simple food that's real.

Since opening the original The North Restaurant in 2007, we have been flooded with catering requests for large groups. That inspired the move in 2012 to the much larger two-storey Victorian building with private party rooms for catering and special events. In addition, we took over the Victoria Village event centre and named it The West. I started in the kitchen as a young boy in Portugal. My grandmother had a catering company and by the time I was 12, I was working part-time in a professional kitchen. Combined with my culinary training at Humber College, I have been fortunate to do what I love and be acclaimed for my work.

WHAT ARE YOUR SIGNATURE DISHES? Our diners favour our rack of lamb, sea bass, calamari, sushi roll and our prosciutto. It is important to me to create a diverse and everchanging menu and diners enjoy the variety offered. I like to intrigue people by dabbling in new foods and being on the cutting edge, with a mind to always maintaining and enhancing the fine dining experience.

My passion for cooking has stayed constant through the years, and I love change, new techniques and challenging my culinary skills. I was honoured to receive the Readers’ Choice Award for favourite Chef for 2013 and 2014. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported me over the years.

WHAT’S THE ONE THING PEOPLE NEED TO TRY BEFORE LEAVING YOUR ESTABLISHMENT? People rave about our desserts. We like to treat our customers and when they leave we want them to feel that they have had a special experience. We have been known to delight groups with an element of surprise in our presentation. Great traditions are grandmother’s mouthwatering butter tarts, warm chocolate lava cake, and my personal favourite, banana cream pie. WHAT’S THE STRANGEST THING YOU’VE EVER EATEN? At the North we love to try new things such as our Wild Game Festival in the fall that introduces sensational dishes that accentuate the unique taste of kangaroo, wild boar, squab, and venison. I enjoy shaking things up. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE INGREDIENT? That has to be our beef as we dry age our beef, which is an involved process that makes the beef tastier and more tender. We are the only local kitchen to dry age ribeye and striploin for 45 days and the results are worth the effort. Fresh ingredients and unique products from Chinatown or farmers’ markets are also inspiring with their abundance of unique textures, colours and aromas.

t Cordino’s Fine Meats & Deli, quality is everything.

The family-owned shop and restaurant has a commitment to delivering premium products to their customers. They believe in supporting local and sustainable food. All their fresh meat is hormone and antibiotic free, and it comes from local farms. “Everyone wants to know where their food comes from, what they are eating and what they are feeding their family,” said shop owner Michael Cortese. “It’s important for the customers.” Cordino’s believes in doing some things the old fashioned way, including the way they dry their beef.

409 Yonge St. Barrie 705-252-5365 www.cordinobutchershop.ca

“We do dry age beef, which very few people do anymore,” he said. “It’s a whole other level of quality.”

Many places wet-age their beef, where meat is aged after it is vacuumed sealed in packaging. Dry-aged meat is hung in a refrigerator for several weeks. When meat is dry-aged, two things happen. The first is a lot of the moisture evaporates concentrating the flavour. “It has a beefier more pronounced flavour,” Cortese explained. Secondly the meat takes on a different texture and is very tender. “Customers notice the difference,” he said. The shop also sells a better quality of meat, unlike other stores that may choose price over quality. “We have the higher grade beef,” he said. “There’s a massive quality difference.” Along with the butchered meats, Cordino’s has a cold deli with a wide variety of carefully selected meats, cheeses and other fine, readyto-eat foods and they have a hot deli which features sandwiches, salads and pastas. There are fresh baked goods available and they carry a line from Fox’s Bakery. Cordino’s also sells a variety of barbeque sauces and marinades, they sell their own line of sauces and stews, and they offer a variety of hard- to-find European groceries. They are located on Yonge Street in Barrie, and are hoping to open a second shop in the north end this spring. For more information, visit us at www.cordinosbutchershop.ca or call us at 705.252.5365

Q A

143 Hume Street Unit 3, Collingwood 705.443.8886 tempo@rogers.com

HOW /WHEN DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS? It all started 20 years ago in my spare bedroom in Toronto and after 5 years of slowly building my clientele, I moved to Collingwood and started all over again in my basement. 3.5 years later, I officially opened the doors to my first Collingwood studio. We are now celebrating our 11th anniversary in our brand new, even bigger retail location! PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO KNOW: I HATE footwear, especially socks; I’m a perfectionist; I never sleep; I still get nervous about every single shoot and I’m severely hearing impaired. WHAT’S THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS? No secret really, just hard work, complete dedication and absolute PASSION; I believe in what I do. My mentor, Sue Bryce, once quoted “You are someone that I love, and I want to capture you for all time.” I realized that this quote explains exactly why I need to take photos for a living. You will never be more you, more beautiful, more perfect and more alive than you are right now – embrace it! Capture it for yourself, for those you love, and for those who love you. I WANT to do that for you, and I promise to put everything I am into creating those images for you. I hope you will trust me to capture the beauty that is your life right now.

hose who have had the pleasure of working with Michelle Seip know that her hands-on attention and caring spirit reflects how Michelle serves her clients.

For nearly 10 years now, Michelle has been not only one of the top-producing Realtors in Wasaga Beach but also one of the top producing Realtors in all of the Southern Georgian Triangle Association of Realtors (SGBAR). Characterized by hard work, a common sense attitude and diligence, every transaction is stamped with pride and, as a result, in 2013 Michelle was one of only two people to receive the prestigious Re/Max Platinum Sales Award in her Brokerage, and even more impressively, was one of the two top producing Realtors in all of SGBAR in unit sales also in 2013. Her outstanding achievement in 2014 has helped her to be recognized with another Platinum Sales Award and also with the coveted Re/Max Hall of Fame Award accomplished in only a short threeyear time period. Combining the power of the Re/Max brand with Michelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s integrity, sincerity and commitment to getting the job done has been a simple recipe for success and in turn a positive experience for her clients. More than that, Michelle has roots in her community. Living and working together with her husband, fellow Realtor and business partner in Wasaga Beach for almost 30 years both Rick and Michelle Seip have taken their past business experience and now made their mark in the real estate industry. Michelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion and dedication to real estate has made her extremely thankful for the opportunity to introduce people to the Georgian Triangle area and it makes it easy for her to promote all its virtues.

110

Michelle believes the Georgian Triangle area is an extraordinary place and one where people dream of living. As a longtime resident Michelle knows how to pair her clients with the perfect property to fit their lifestyle and strive to be innovative, persistent and a trusted source for everyone she works with. Like many of her clients, Michelle strives to achieve a balanced lifestyle and enjoys taking advantage of what Wasaga Beach and the surrounding area has to offer. As many know, you will see the sparkle in Michelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes when sharing her passion for horses which has given her opportunities to explore many new places to ride and to show her horses. For this award-winning Realtor, success means hard work and dedication, without losing the personal touch. It is also the support of family and friends as well as the teamwork of her fellow Realtors. It means taking the time to listen to the needs of her clients and going beyond to listen to what they are also not saying. For Michelle, real estate is more than just helping her clients facilitate the buying and selling of property. To her, it is sharing her community. It is the incredible satisfaction of matching the perfect property with the buyer or allowing the owner of a listed property to move on to their future endeavours. Most importantly, it is delivering the highest level of service possible to offer a positive experience for her clients and building relationships that last a lifetime.

want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I love music and just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but dance sometimes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning to knit. Chocolate is by far the best food on this planet. A great day for me is going for a hike with Brent, and my son Cieran, and having some good laughs. My goal is to pay that moment forward, by gifting my clients with the same chance for authentic representation. By creating images that evoke memories jam-packed with meaning. What an incredible way to make a living!

The Hound Lounge D O G D AY C A R E • G R O O M I N G T R A I N I N G • R AW F O O D

DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS VIBE: Cozy and home-like. Our reception area even has a fireplace. The playrooms have rubber floors and movable walls that change as our guests’ needs change. We pride ourselves in keeping everything absolutely clean. But having fun is our main goal and we definitely have fun.

he Hound Lounge is at 80 Ellis Dr., Unit 1, in Barrie’s south end. It’s ideal for commuters; just minutes away from Hwy 400 and the Go Station. When you drop your dog off, you can grab a coffee at our coffee station and be back on your way in minutes. In addition to daycare we offer professional grooming and training and a great selection of hard-to-find frozen raw dog food and unique toys.

WHO ARE YOUR CLIENTELE: Busy people who think of their dogs as family members. They want their precious furry family to enjoy their days so they can all enjoy their evening relaxing together.

As dog owners ourselves, we had trouble finding a dog daycare that met our high standard for cleanliness and a homey feel. Finally we decided that if we couldn’t find it, we would make it. The Hound Lounge embodies that vision.

Tired dogs are happy dogs.

Our dog daycare service is exceptional. We offer rooms for big and small dogs, quiet rooms for seniors or puppies to rest, as well as an outside potty area. Our Room Attendants supervise constantly to keep the play fun, fair and safe.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SURPRISED TO KNOW? We understand that schedules vary so we offer daycare for various schedules. For example, if Tuesday and Thursday you work all day and the kids have activities, book just those days. Then when you pick your dog up after work, he’s content all evening. You can enjoy your activities guilt-free.

oving in to our new Studio & Gallery just before Christmas was very exciting. We’ve more than doubled our space which is allowing us to display more artwork, and with a much larger production area for photography and our print shop. The new facility is just down the street from the old studio, now located between the Beer Store and Elmvale Public Library, at the west end of town. There’s plenty of free parking too. We’re looking at bringing work from other artists and artisans to the Gallery, so this upcoming year is going to be very busy. We’re very enthusiastic about the possibilities!

I would have to say to examine some of the new papers and canvas that we’re printing on. They are extraordinary, both to the touch as well as visually. They’re also archival and the resulting prints can last well over 100 years. We do all our printing in-house, from wallets to wall size. This way we can control the quality from start to finish.

Q A

WHAT’S YOUR BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY? To provide the best experience we can and create

a portrait worthy to hang in a prominent place of your home. A portrait that demonstrates not only the love within a family, but the individual personalities as well. WHO IS YOUR TARGET CLIENTELE? Families, of course, for my portraiture, kids and dogs especially, and I also sell my Fine Art Photography for home decor as well as to collectors. WHAT’S THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS? Delivering beyond the expectation of my clients.

WHAT’S YOUR MAIN SERVICE/SPECIALTY? I’ve been in business for almost 30 years so I’ve pretty much done it all. But right now my business is split three ways between portraiture, fine art and commercial photography. WHEN DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS? I started photographing professionally in 1988. I also worked at a portrait/wedding studio for 6 years but have been on my own for almost 20 years now. PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO KNOW: That I have four dogs, three of them Jack Russell Terriers. Believe me, 3 Jacks make a “full house”. WHERE DID YOU RECEIVE TRAINING? I learned a lot when I worked at the other studio, but I also attended many workshops and seminars. I was awarded the Master of Photographic Arts from the Professional Photographers of Canada and currently am a Master Member in Fine Art of the Master Photographers of Canada, where I also sit on the Board of Directors. I never stop learning, but I’ve also taught photography and fine art printing. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO EXPLORE YOUR FIELD? I’ve always had an interest in photography. My father had a part-time studio while working in the Army and I guess I picked up the passion from him. I have a photo, it’s on my website, of me at about 2 or 3 years old holding a camera - not a toy either! It’s been part of me all my life. It’s not just what I do, it’s who I am. WHAT’S THE ONE SERVICE OR PRODUCT PEOPLE SHOULD TRY BEFORE LEAVING YOUR BUSINESS? S

atural Balance Day Spa is an intimate, independently run business where our focus is making each and every client feel like a V.I.P! I opened the spa four years ago and have created a little oasis for people to come, relax and unwind from the stress of everyday life. Each client gets our undivided attention and no treatment is ever rushed. We have areas where clients can relax before and after their treatment, so no one feels like they have to leave right after a service, which is one of the things our clients love most about coming here.

Q A WHAT IS YOUR MAIN SERVICE/ SPECIALTY? All of our treatments are amazing but I would have to say our Pedicures and Facials are two of our best. All of our Pedicures are done in comfortable reclining chairs and include a foot scrub and a rejuvenating massage with our signature scents from Soapstones, made right in our own backyard, Beautiful Muskoka. Our Facials are a full-body experience and include a face, neck and shoulder massage along with a scalp massage and a hand and arm massage. A combination of the two is a must for every client! HOW/WHEN DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS? We opened in October of 2010 after a 10-month renovation that was done by my dad, he worked hard to make it everything I had imagined. We did a small renovation this past September to accommodate a fourth Pedicure chair and now have three Certified Estheticians on staff. DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS’S VIBE: Relaxation and tranquility, there isn’t one service we do here that doesn’t make our clients want to curl up and have a nap, even during a waxing appointment. Most clients want to stay even after their services are over, which isn’t a problem, we always say “stay as long as you like”.

DO YOU OFFER ANY UNIQUE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS? All of our products are natural and we try to purchase from local Canadian businesses whenever possible. WHAT’S YOUR BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY? Natural Balance Day Spa strives to provide a relaxing, rejuvenating experience for all guests. Our team of exceptionally trained therapists care for each individual client in a courteous and professional manner making our Spa a place you will refer your friends and family. WHAT’S THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS? Great personalized service. When a client is treated like an individual and all of their needs are met, they go and tell others of their amazing experience. Word of mouth is the best form of advertisement.

really good for people with chronic pain,” she explained. “It can help people sleep better, it helps digestion, it helps increase energy levels and it helps decrease stress.” It is also good for menopause. “A lot of women in menopause think the heat would be too much,” she said. “But it helps your body build an efficient cooling system because you are sweating to regulate your body temperature. Many people with hot flashes actually find huge relief the more they practise Moksha yoga.”

Susanna Hellman Photo

Many athletes find yoga makes an excellent addition to training, including the Barrie Colts. Moksha Yoga Barrie is their official studio. “Yoga strengthens all the deep muscles in your spine and your core,” explained Trapani. “Those are the muscles you need for stamina, better posture, and those are the muscles you can’t work out as easily by lifting big weights.” To achieve optimal conditions for their classes, Moksha Yoga uses insulation, air filtration, a purified humidification system and radiant heat panels to help mimic the feeling of natural sunshine. And that feeling stretches out beyond the hot yoga room. “We’ve got a great community,” said Trapani. “It’s kind of like a family.” Moksha Yoga has been repeatedly recognized with numerous awards for their outstanding services and environmental policies. And they give back to the community. On Friday evenings, they host karma classes to raise money for different local charities. To date, they have raised over $30,000. Anyone new to yoga can purchase a $40 introductory monthly pass. For more infor, visit mokshayogabarrie.com or drop by the studio at 411 Huronia Rd.
