Erica has always been a candy lover but couldn’t find a healthier option that was also affordable. Her health journey began years ago when she developed an unhealthy relationship with food and realized to live a healthier lifestyle, education was key. Erica undertook studies in Kinesiology at the University of Fraser Valley and even furthered her knowledge with personal training and nutritional certification. During her studies, Erica competed in fitness competitions across Canada and created a consistent, healthier lifestyle and positive attitude towards foods.

Yumy Candy is founded on the “Feel Good” philosophy Erica now follows in her day to day. From her experience with coaching clients, the number one thing on everyone’s agenda was searching for low-sugar, plant-based snack options. “Using my kitchen as a starting point, I got to work experimenting with high-quality ingredients to create a unique gummy candy that is delicious and optimal for health-conscious people that also care about animal welfare. After over a year of rigorous testing, Yumy Candy was created and in the hands of happy friends, family, clients and loyal customers!”
