f you want to get an idea of the range of products Budget Blinds’ consultants can provide to add life and vibrancy to your home decor (from custom Shutters, Blinds, Drapery and Window Film) A Free In-Home Consultation is just a call away! Budget Blinds also has its main hub showroom, offices and warehouse in the Tilbury industrial Park in Delta (Unit #1257391 Vantage Way). Tara Anderson, who co-owns the franchise with her husband David, says you truly see and feel the full benefit of Budget Blinds’ personalized, one-stop service once you make an appointment for an in-home consultation. “We come to you – and that’s from the initial consultation right through installation,” she says. “It’s the simplicity, ease and comfort of not having to leave your own home,” she adds. “With other stores it’s just a cashier – you pay, you walk out with the product, end of story. With us, you don’t have to worry about something being the wrong size or measurements, we have the best warranties in the business, they pick what they want and get what they ask for.” Budget Blinds has a large variety of Brands and Styles that are sure to match any Budget or Vision that you can bring to them. Working with customers’ in their own homes also means it’s easier for Budget Blinds’ consultants to help them find just the look they want – seeing the actual space and existing decor, there’s no guesswork or miscommunication. “Everything is custom-made, and installed,” Anderson says. “It’s their own vision we are trying to help them achieve.” Budget Blinds will have been offering their services in this area for more than 10 years - and the business is consistently growing, Anderson said. “We have an Office Manager, a Receptionist, A Marketing Manager, three Sales Consultants and two full-time Installers.” Extra help is welcome and appreciated she says, as she and David manage the needs of the business with having four daughters - all under the age of 13, and also purchased two more territories on Vancouver Island last year. Being family people themselves makes them more aware of the importance of community and exceptional customer service, she says. “We try to involve the whole family (including our extended family-our staff) in what we do wherever possible, and we’re always interested in giving back through special events and sponsorships, while getting to know the communities we service”

ften there is a direct link between mood disorders, emotional psychological states and poor nutrition. As such, Susan employs an exclusively unique approach to her work, combining the practices of traditional psychotherapy with corrective nutritional implementation. This extraordinarily effective approach is called Psycho-Nutra-Therapy (PNT)TM.
Psycho-Nutra-TherapyTM is a comprehensive approach to mind-body wellness that goes far beyond the traditional propensity to treat symptoms only. The aim is to find the root cause. Careful attention is given to symptomatology from a bodily and physiological perspective, thoroughly investigating any potential nutritional deficiencies. Susan’s thorough processes produce a high degree of accuracy regarding vitamin, mineral and general nutritional deficiencies through the use of many scientific Susan Furtado MA, RCC, CCC, R.H.N. evidenced based tools like genetic testing. Upon assessment, Susan applies an integrative treatment plan and lifestyle program unique to each client, emphasizing specific dietary and supplemental support in conjunction with mindfulness cognitive behavioural therapy and somatic therapy. Susan’s natural inclination towards compassion and empathy are her key assets and the cornerstone of her non-judgemental style. She creates a safe, trusting and comfortable environment for her clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, memories and behaviours. Openly engaging and encouraging new insights through self–exploration, Susan helps to foster a deeper understanding and acceptance of difficult experiences. Through emotional support and specific therapeutic interventions tailored to the individual, her clients are steered towards optimum physical and mental well being. Susan brings a limitless energy to the task of supporting her clients in achieving their goals – whether it be maintaining better mental health, or a much improved quality of life.
