About Us
History
Mari Summers is the registered sole owner of Heaven On Earth Enterprises. She obtained her BSc at Trent University, Peterborough, ON, Canada in 1977. She married the same year, worked in sales and service for 7 years, then raised 3 beautiful children. In 1996 she was prompted to "spread her wings and fly" and re-located to Enderby, B.C.. Aromatherapy had played a vital role in her personal and spiritual journey, and over the next 3 years she travelled back to Ontario to study Aromatherapy with The Davey School of Natural Healing, receiving certification in 1999. Reiki Level 1 and 2 were also attained by 2000.

Upon arrival in B.C., Mari was struck by the beauty of her surroundings and inspired to register the company name "H.O.E. (Heaven On Earth) Enterprises" in Sept 1997. She envisioned this company to incorporate her renewed passions of photography, gardening, writing and aromatherapy. It was during her studies that her interest in calendula oil developed, but research proved it expensive and difficult to find. This is when she started producing her own - naturally! The words "Mari's Gold" came to her in a dream and she promptly adopted this name for her calendula-based products. Various blends were produced in response to the needs of friends and family during aromatherapy massage treatments. As demand for these products grew, they were supplied to Estheticians, Reflexologists, Massage Therapists, Day Spas, as well as Metaphysical, Gift and Health Food Stores.
It is with great pleasure and excitement that www.marisgold.com is launched to make these products available to those outside of the local retail market. It is a wonderful gift to mark the 10th anniversary of a personal dream and vision, with such a progressive plateau.
