The HealTEA

The HealTEA is a Montreal-based beverage company on a mission to elevate the health drink industry with natural, refreshing, and eco-friendly premium soft drinks. Founded by Leila Kairns, the company is committed to sustainability, community, and wellness — offering organic herbal infusions sweetened with locally-harvested maple syrup. With only four simple ingredients, The HealTEA provides an authentic, healthy alternative to traditional soft drinks while staying true to values of quality, innovation, and social responsibility.

Our Work Together

I worked with Leila as a mentor and advisor on a wide range of strategic and operational challenges. Together, we explored pricing strategies, identified and evaluated co-packers, refined sales and marketing approaches, and navigated staffing considerations. The work was both big-picture and hands-on, helping The HealTEA strengthen its foundation while positioning the business for sustainable growth. Throughout, I was consistently inspired by Leila’s positive energy and her determination to bring The HealTEA vision to life.

Testimonial from Leila Kairns, Founder

"Kevin’s mentoring gave me clarity and direction in every area of the business — from pricing and sales to marketing, staffing, and working with co-packers. He asked the right questions, offered practical guidance, and helped me see the big picture while staying grounded in the day-to-day. His support has been invaluable as we continue to grow The HealTEA."
