A word from the President...

I come from a world where health was always a priority—eating properly, exercising, and taking time for yourself. Improving people’s health has been an interest of mine for many years. And I’m convinced we as human beings can influence our own quality of life. I’ve always been curious and passionate about life, and I’ve tried a number of ways to improve my physical condition, including massage, acupuncture, osteopathy, healthy diets, and even psychology. It’s because of these efforts and that fascination that today, BainUltra^® is a promoter of relaxation, health, and well-being.

Despite my natural desire to maintain balance in my life, I’ve been working hard to grow our company for more than thirty years, and, like many entrepreneurs, I’ve gotten caught up in the intoxication of accelerated growth. I’ve worked without counting my hours, racked up travel miles and changing schedules, eaten in restaurants, and juggled various demands that all seemed like priorities at the time, but I’ve neglected the most basic priority of all: myself. Who I am. The more I put into the project that is BainUltra^®, the faster things seemed to go, and the lower my own energy levels fell. However strongly I’ve always believed in the importance of looking after yourself (myself), I’ve found it harder and harder to actually do so.

I don’t think my story is unique—I think many of us share it. We live in a world that encourages us to recognize people for what they do—not for who they are. The pseudo-search for happiness drives us to accumulate possessions, to put so much into useless things, and drags us, often despite ourselves, into a whirlwind that, far from making us happy, drains our energy and threatens every aspect of our lives—our health, our personal and professional relationships, our finances, and our inner freedom. It’s as if our life lived us instead of us living it. Well I say “enough!” I’ve decided to make a choice.

I’ve decided to slow down and get in touch with my inner life. To commit to daily rituals that give me energy and improve my physical, mental, and emotional state and replenish my energy. I’ve decided to treat this as a personal discipline, as well as to invite my employees, partners, and customers to do the same, through BainUltra and its products. I hope to reintroduce, into as many lives as possible, the art of living, of taking time each and every day for relaxation, health, and well-being. I want us all to become the artificers of our own lives and develop a deeper and more authentic relationship with ourselves, our loved ones, and our environment every day. We don’t pretend to be able to change the world, but if through the BainUltra project we can inspire even one person to take up the challenge of personal well-being, the universal consciousness will be raised and our world will become a better place, one tiny step at a time.

Take care of yourself, and thank you.

Henry Brunelle, President
