There is such a wonderful, healing vibration that is very unique and Whole Foods is the perfect environment to support my desire to be health conscious and aware of all the new and exciting trends in alternative health. I couldn’t be more excited about my NBA position with MyChelle. They have far exceeded my expectations as a company and with the unparalleled quality of their products, it’s an incredible feeling to help people feel good about the health and appearance of their skin. I feel like I found my purpose in New Mexico!”

Health Starts Here ™at Whole Foods Market in Albuquerque

This past year Whole Foods Market added a seventh core value to our mission statement: Promoting the health of our stakeholders through healthy eating education. As a result, we are taking a more active role within our community to provide education and raise awareness on healthy eating.
