Our History
Founded by Beverly Barabin, Sunshine & Wellness was born from a passion for wellness and a deep desire to create a space where people could connect, grow, and thrive. Beverly’s vision is shaped by the legacy and influence of her father in law, Vergis Bourgeois (Sunshine), a respected wholistic figure and founder of Sunshine’s Health Food Store and Vegetarian Deli, a beloved local spot known for its focus on wellness and community.

Why Clients Love Us!
"Since being a part of the Sunshine family, our eating habits have improved and we feel so much better. Beverly, the hostess of the program, has presented us with helpful information pertaining to wellness and health. The support on GroupMe is also FANTASTIC. We all have something to contribute. Some of the many wonderful things that we've enjoyed include: 30 day detox program, the Sunshine and Wellness weekly conference calls, guest speakers, food workshop, and the list goes on. Being a part of the Sunshine family has had a very positive impact on our health, and we are very appreciative. Peace and Blessings!

"I love the Sunshine Family. It's been a blessing for me. I am new to the family. But during the months I have received kindness, blessings, and much more. I was ready to have both my knees replaced, but a speaker on the calls that we have every week opened my eyes to a better way. Most of the problems I was having was mostly because I was way overweight. Because I am losing weight now, my knees feel better each and every day, changing my diet and cleaning. God is so good, and people come into your life for a reason. "
