katrina wood

Katrina, founder of Eco-Refillary, is passionate about business and allowing the creative process to unfold. Her love for making candles turned into a business after making them as gifts for Christmas. In 2019, after watching a documentary on plastic, Katrina realized her impact on the planet and started Eco-Refillary to empower customers to make positive changes. She curates items at her retail location in Flesherton that resonate with customers' energy and hopes to change how we view consumerism. Katrina believes in following the pillars of Mind, Body, Spirit, and Planet when we shop to reduce impulse purchases and consume less but more meaningful items. She wants to create a life living with true intent and hopes to inspire others to find joy in each day.
