Cathy Balach, owner of GoodBody's, sells everything from nutritional supplements to air filters.
GoodBody's Total Wellness Store has opened in Saratoga at 14433B Big Basin Way. GoodBody's offers vitamins and supplements, personal care and sports products and appliances for a healthy home, such as water and air filters, juicers and blenders.
For owner Cathy Balach, it's the first time she's owned a retail store.
"I'm an avid health practioner and I've been looking forward to this for a long time," Balach said.
Balach holds degrees in business accounting and psychology and a graduate degree in international management. She worked as an international auditor before she tired of the corporate world, moved to the Saratoga area and began to think of opening a business.
"I had always planned on opening a business of my own; I come from an entrepreneurial family," she said.
In addition to its line of healthy products, GoodBody's will have speakers on health topics. For the store's grand opening, held April 13 and 14, speakers discussed the use of herbs and how to help combat allergies.
The store is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Sunday-Monday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Call 867-9670 for information.
