In 2017, Marlis came across our booth at the Wellness Show with Office Chairs Vancouver and was immediately captivated by our active office chairs. She was impressed by how SpinaliS chairs promote natural body movement, support neutral posture, and actively engage the muscles that stabilize the spine. Marlis shared her passion for holistic living and her dedication to helping clients achieve optimal wellness. She was eager to learn more about how our active office chairs could enhance her clients’ daily well-being and support their long-term health goals. This encounter marked the beginning of a shared vision for integrating active sitting solutions into a holistic lifestyle approach.
