Home : Our Mission Statement

Our Mission Statement


We want our customers to do business with us safe in the knowledge that all our products and dealings will complement our values and our vision to provide a truly Holistic service.

Our Mission Statement is summarised by our six main aims:


1) A Grown up Approach to Holistic Health and Wellbeing

We make a commitment to our customers to provide information and products relating only to proven Holistic therapies and products, explained and presented in no-nonsense language.

2) Products that Help Achieve Balance

Our products are carefully selected and sourced to give our customers as wide a choice as possible of items to achieve balance, increase energy, combat stress and help us get the most out of life.

3) Products that Support our Ethical Trading Values

Wherever it's possible to determine, our goods aren't tested on animals.

Many of the ranges stocked from the Far East are guaranteed not to have been produced using child or slave labour.

We have a Reduce, Reuse and Recycle policy (see below)

4)A Responsible Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Policy

We all need to look to reduce, reuse and recycle as much of our waste as we possibly can in order to minimise both our environmental and financial impact on the earth's limited resources.

We support the Three "Rs" Approach - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce - where possible we source products locally thus reducing the impact on the environment.

Reuse - Wherever possible we reuse all packaging materials we receive from wholesalers and other suppliers - you may find that your box, jiffy bag or bubble wrap has been resued, although it will always be fit for purpose.

You can help by reusing the packaging again - can someone else make use of it?

Recycle - Where we have materials or packaging that we can't reuse, we always ensure that it is responsibly recycled by personally taking it to a licensed local authority recycle centre (Heath and Reach, in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire).

Wherever possible we use glass bottles and jars as they are more ecologically aware, being easier to recycle than most plastic containers.

We use recycled paper and ink cartridges for all our stationery, invoices and correspondence where available.

If you have any more ideas for reducing, reusing or recycling items please do email us as we'd love to hear about them!

5) Additional Resources to Create Your Haven

The Holistic Shop is a place where you can learn more about the Holistic approach, mind and body healing and aspects of spirituality, with additional links to related sites and articles being added all the time.

6) A Holistic Shopping Experience

We hope that when you visit the Holistic Shop, it's not simply as a customer; we want you to "Be Our Guest".
