Simply For Life

Amazing product selection. Found many family favorites there. Prices are reasonable, shop is tidy, spacious and staff knowledgably. I will be visiting there often!

Rukhsana is the absolute best. Always guides me through my health journey and is always there to share a chat. I appreciate her so much. Amazing store. 5 stars.

Amazing selection, great service, wonderful and knowledgeable staff. My first time here and I m already a fan. Best of all, got a yummy organic coffee while browsing the isles. Would definitely come back. Oh and plenty of free parking.

I don’t typically write reviews but felt compelled to provide some feedback on Rukhshana Khan and her store Simply for Life Oakville (at the corner of Taunton Road and Oak Park Blvd). In January of 2021, after living 17 years in Australia I decided to come home to Canada and settled in Oakville to be near family. While life in Australia had been wonderful, I had picked up some bad habits in terms of my diet and lifestyle over my time there - habits that I needed to get in check. So just before my 56th birthday last May, I decided to sign up for the Simply for Life program at Rukhshana Khan’s Oakville store. The program had a number of elements, including personalized one-on-one coaching by Rukhshana, access to a range of healthy foods in the store, a food diary, and weekly weigh-ins to keep me honest. I am really pleased with my progress and over the last 8 months I have dropped over 40lbs. I had tried for a number of years to improve my diet and get more frequent exercise but until I met Rukhshana (I just call her ‘Coach’) I had only intermittent success. She made me realize that it's not about making drastic changes to my diet or my exercise habits, but about making little changes at a time - changes that add up, make a real difference, and become part of a regular routine. So, I started walking, and I now walk for 60-90 minutes at least five times a week. She also convinced me to kick a serious Diet Coke habit and start drinking more water so now most days of the week I drink at least 2L/8 glasses of water. The diet changes were the easiest change to make because her store sells a wide variety of reasonably priced, pre-made meals that are ‘heat and serve simple’. While you might assume that she would want me to buy all my meals at the store, nothing could be further from the truth. She like me, is a realist, and understands that a normal life dictates regular dinners out, and entertaining or meals with friends - its not about buying pre-cooked meals from a service forever. To help me with that, she has helped rethink the eating and drinking choices I make in these settings and helped me ‘re-learn’ how to cook my own healthy meals and even provided easy to follow recipes in the early days to get me started. In summary, the program Rukhshana offers through her Simply for Life in Oakville is personalized for me, fits my lifestyle, and has helped me change my habits over time. What I like that most about the program however, is having Rukhshana as my coach - easy to talk to, non-judgmental (unless she needs to be) and encouraging to a fault, she clearly cares about me and has a personal stake in me meeting my goals.

I was very happy to have this shop near my condo with so many specialty items available. I always tried to spread the word to my customers about this great place just down the road to help this, clearly struggling, business. Sad to say I will never shop there again. I purchased some moldy unsalted butter on 2 occasions, that must have been in their fridge for many months. The first time I just exchanged it for more and understood that with not a lot of business, things may have been sitting for a long time and didn't mind. Second time I thought the same, but when I returned it the owner was extremely rude to me, accusing me of letting it go moldy in a week in my fridge. Something that takes 6-9 months to occur. She threatened that if I do this again she will not return my money. She never apologized for the inconvenience. Sometimes it's better to focus on what really matters like building a customer base, than on your profits. However, a staff member named Amber is just amazing and very knowledgable and has helped me on many occasions and I am grateful to her.

The best place to buy your healthy foods! Rukhsana, the owner is such a nice warm human being! You’ll feel home going to her store! The coffees they serve are delicious! Best Keto coffee ever!

I shop here frequently for gluten-free and vegan snacks. Love this store. Amber is friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. They make a mean coffee too! As a nutritionist, I highly recommend this health food store.

So excited to try so many new things! I shopped in person recently and had a wonderful customer service experience. The lady behind the counter was so personable (I commented how I liked the music, I danced while i shopped, felt like a regular customer instantly) . I just placed my first online order as I am excited to repurchase items from the other week and try some more. I had a bit of trouble on the payment screen so I called. A different lady answered the phone and she was also warm and helpful.
