About
Hi, I'm Dom! I'm a wellness gal at heart and absolutely love working in the food industry.
I have a passion for good food and good health, and love to help others reach their full potential. While studying engineering, I founded The Happy Era to bring this passion to life. This adventure introduced me to Beckie, my business partner at Beck's Broth, and the rest is history!
Some of my favourite things: good food, the great outdoors, connection + quality time, travel, a good laugh, and a good cup of coffee. Cheers to that!
