About LMDS

Bonjour
My name is Kim and I am the founder of "La Maison De Sirop", translating to "The Home of Syrup", thank you to my husbands European influence.

I like to call my Elderberry business my "accidental business" as if you'd asked me prior to 2019 if I could ever imagine myself cooking elderberry syrups and other herbal tonics I would have laughed and said "me in the kitchen, no way!" But here I am today today, loving every moment of sharing my repertoire of syrups and other herbal goodies. I would have it no other way!

Since young adulthood I have had an interest in the mechanics of the human body and always aimed to educate myself on the ways to best support my body. Since the age of 6, dance has been my world and I have been fortunate to have had a 25 year career in the dance/teaching/entertainment industry, with classical ballet as my foundation. As a dancer it was always my intention to keep fitness levels, physique & overall health at optimum levels.

When I stopped dancing to have our children my curiosity really began to grow around maintaining and optimising health on all levels, especially for our family that we were growing.

It was when I was pregnant with my daughter that I caught a head cold and a friend of mine encouraged me to try her friends homemade elderberry syrup. I was amazed at how it helped relieve my symptoms quite quickly. A while later I caught the flu virus that was circulating. I was unable to get out of bed let alone drag myself outside to get more of the homemade elderberry syrup.  So I ordered the ingredients online and made it myself the very next day. Again it helped within 24hrs and AGAIN I was amazed at how quickly symptoms subsided. From this point I really started delving into elderberry and herbs in general. I gave my spare bottles to my neighbours and before I knew it they were asking if I had anymore of that 'yummy syrup" to give to their families and friends. Et Voila!.....by word of mouth "La Maison De Sirop" has grown into what it is today, 5 years later.

My passion in life is helping other people and sharing what I have learnt about Elderberry and other herbal remedy's is what ignites me. Plants and their healing abilities amaze me. There is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to soak in and to continue passing down to the next generations. As with my dance, my work has always been my passion. My passions are what have guided me towards the type of "work" that I need to be putting my energy into and this is why I am fortunate to be able to look back and realise that I have never felt like I have had to work a day in my life. I feel so thankful for this. 

To everyone: Welcome to La Maison De Sirop. I hope you grow to appreciate and love Elderberry the way we do. xxx
