patients to incorporate this formula into their daily lives.
Dr.
Scott is also president of Banana Moon, a Canadian company based in
Nanaimo. Banana Moon formed in early 2004, largely as a result of the
success of the Gratitude Stick; a health, wellness, and motivational
giftware product that Dr, Scott and her daughter Danika developed. Since
that time Dr. Scott has designed and created additional new and unique
products of gratitude and celebration, each designed to encourage us to
discover and embrace the incredible magic and empowerment of being
grateful, being positive, appreciating the moment and living life to the

Why we chose the name BANANA MOON
First, Banana Moon is
simply a cool name! Second, we are all about motivation, health and
inspiration and the meaning behind our name reflects this. For example,
did you know in the traditional medicine of India and ancient Persia this
golden fruit was regarded as nature’s secret for perpetual youth? A banana
really is a natural remedy for many ills! It is rich in potassium and is
one of the best all around value foods. It has been known to help with
depression and one's overall brainpower; a banana is also known to lower
one's stress level and create an overall feeling of youthfulness. Of
course, the banana’s yellow color and its crescent shape inspired the
association of the moon!
The moon is known to represent an ever-changing symbol of one's
emotional life and environmental life; both the one we were born into and
the one that we create for ourself! The moon symbolizes our unconscious
life or what happens when we sleep both figuratively (as in the
subconscious) and literally. Since Banana Moon is all about inspiration,
gratitude, positive growth and phenomenal health we loved the
representation that it presented to us. Much of how we view our lives has
been previously programmed through our childhood and previous experiences.
When we shine some light onto our subconscious thoughts and views, growth
and change can take place. Like the ever-changing phases of the moon, our
lives are ever changing and it is how we view those changes that we can
control. Putting the two together blends nicely with how we feel, our
attitudes, goals, dreams and our mission!
Welcome
to Banana Moon!
