Uptown Nutrition has been evolving since 1973, when it began as the Victorian Grocer. The store has ‘lived’ on Water Street, Tyler street and then moved up the hill to the Uptown business district with a new name, Natural’s Health and Beauty. In 2005 Suzy Carroll purchased the business and once again change was in the air. She renamed the store Uptown Nutrition and began her quest to develop the store into a hub of education.
Six years later, Uptown Nutrition has evolved into the community’s wellness center, known for customer service, education and quality products.

Sandy Krist
Sandy holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Holistic Health Education as well as being Certified in Jin Shin Jyutsu (Japanese acupressure) & is an advanced Donna Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner. Most important, however, is her exceptionally warm and caring personality and love of health. Sandy works two weekends per month and one day per week, but her presence is always here and she pops in often. Her energy and enthusiasm helps make this store what it is – fabulous!
Stephanie Dickey, AAS-T, LMP
Suzy met Stephanie years ago, when she served as the Vocational Specialist Programs Manager for Skookum Services. Stephanie introduced us to Brad (see below). Stephanie has 16 years in the natural foods and health industry. Suzy originally contracted with Stephanie to organize the ordering systems and later, as good fortune would have it, she came to work for us as our lead buyer. Stephanie is also busy building her massage therapy practice and is our resident massage therapist. Stephanie works hard to assure that all products meet the high standards we have at Uptown Nutrition. Her dedication to health runs deep and she is truly an inspiration to be around.
Juliet is licensed in Cranial Sacral Therapy in Ireland and is a practicing herbalist. She owned her own herbal tea company in Ireland, growing most of her herbs or wild crafting. Juliet has many years of experience working in nutrition, health and has grown herbs for over 20 years as well as working with traditional Irish Medicine – herb lore and herbal recipes from locals around the country and has training in Chinese medicine.
Brad, along with his job coach, keeps our store tidy and clean. He comes to us through Skookum. A program dedicated to finding employment for those with disabilities. He has been keeping Uptown Nutrition dust free for over three years! Brad requires a calm environment to work in. It makes us very happy that Brad, who is a highly sensitive individual, has become a part of who we are. We really miss him and all that he does for us when he takes time away.
Last, but certainly not least…
Tom Carroll, co-owner and Suzy’s husband. Although Tom isn’t directly involved in the store, he provides support in many ways such as helping with maintenance jobs (he’s our light bulb man) to patiently putting up with having his face used to test products on. Tom’s ‘real’ job is Vice President of another local company, Pacific Environmental Services. If you ask him about supplements you will most likely get a blank look but ask him about building gas stations or environmental clean ups and you will get an ear full!
