Well known metaphysical center, The Zen Shop has been making a huge buzz since they re-located to Oshawa from Courtice in 2018. That buzz is becoming even louder, as The Zen Shop receives top honours in the community! They have been recognized as experts in their field, taking home 5 categories this year in the prominent Reader’s Choice Awards 2020!
The Zen Shop was awarded top honours as Diamond Winners for Best Gemologist. The store offers a huge selection of top quality crystals from around the world; including rough and tumbled stones, semi-precious specimens and jewellery. The Zen Shop also has certified Crystal Masters on staff.
“We are honoured that the community has recognized our amazing selection and expert staff,” says The Zen Shop’s owner, Sherrill Rees. “I hand pick all of our crystals from multiple and reputable Canadian wholesalers, putting a lot of focus on getting our customers the best quality and prices available. It has taken quite some time to establish the large collections that we offer,” adds Rees. “All of our staff put in the hard work and dedication to be the best versions of themselves, upgrading their education. Their love of crystals shines through and through, and their knowledge is impeccable!”
The store was also Platinum and Gold Winners for Best Collectibles Shop and Best Giftware Shop. “Coming into this business, I had a very strong vision of what I wanted to offer my customers.

I am blown away by how quickly we’ve grown. We normally have 2 sales staff on the store floor and are so busy that we are adding another to serve our customers better!” In addition to the brick and mortar store, The Zen Shop has been working hard at developing their online store. The store was deemed essential during the pandemic lock down. “It’s incredible to see the amount of people that deem us a necessity during this crazy time of Covid-19. The online store has allowed us to offer curbside pick up for those not comfortable coming into the store. We have been shipping across the country too!” says Sherrill.

We get constant rave reviews and thank you’s because her readings are so accurate. People always return and say ‘You know, I wasn’t sure when she told me this or that in the reading, but it happened!’, adds Rees. “I am honoured to have Sheila on staff and call her a friend.” Sheila also offers other workshops and meditations on Angels, Empaths and more.
