About Us

Hi! We're Lynn-Marie & Melissa-Rae Angus, the sister co-founders of Sisters Sage, an Indigenous brand that hand-crafts wellness and self-care products inspired by our culture and traditions. We were born and raised in East Vancouver, Canada. Our heritage is Gitxaala, Nisga’a, and Metis Nations. We are from both the West Coast and the prairies and we celebrate and share our culture enthusiastically! 

Together we created Sisters Sage in September 2018. We use traditional indigenous ingredients to create modern self-care and wellness products.  Sisters Sage grew out of a need to change what we were doing with our lives. We both felt that it was important to start a business where we can create something to help others, showcase our culture in a positive way to share with the world, and gain financial independence. We both had an interest in artisan soaps and bath bombs. With much research and testing, we have created a line of products that pay homage to our Indigenous heritage. Through our various products we are able to share a tiny piece of our culture, for instance, our Smokeless Smudge Spray combines traditional fragrances of Sweet Grass and Tobacco Leaf. We explain to our customers the cultural significance of smudging and what it means to us. The Smudge Spray allows you to have the essence of smudging wherever you are! It creates a calming aura and smells divine! We created this product out of necessity, unable to smudge at home because of the smoke, this spray makes it convenient for a quick refresher! Another popular item is our bath bombs. We make lavender, cedar, sage as well as many other non-traditional scents, like bubblegum! We also make cold processed soaps, and medicinal salves

There is a very real unacceptable socio-economic gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in British Columbia and also Canada. Sisters Sage is honored to share our products with you, and show that there are hard-working young indigenous entrepreneurs out there. We are working hard to close that gap, pave the way, and inspire other indigenous entrepreneurs.

We strive to create meaningful products worthy of the stories they'll tell. And there's no greater satisfaction for us than knowing they've found a place in your home, helping you and your family feel better.

As indigenous women, we are loud and proud! And that is exactly what our products are. We put our love and positivity into every spray, soap, and bath bomb that we make. Please join us and follow us on Instagram as we embark on this ambitious journey to share it with the world! 

Smudge Well, Smudge often.
