Healthy living is personal to us
Led by someone who has spent a career helping people live healthier lives
Healthier 4U Northwest is a majority woman-owned business led by Brenda Sjothun — a Registered Nurse and licensed holistic massage therapist whose entire career has been centered around one thing: helping people feel better.
Co-Founder · RN, Licensed Holistic Massage Therapist
Brenda Sjothun
As a Registered Nurse and holistic massage therapist, Brenda has spent her career meeting people where they are and helping them make healthier choices. She knows firsthand that wellness isn't just about what happens in a clinic or a gym — it's shaped by the small, everyday decisions people make. When the only option in the break room is a bag of chips, that matters. Brenda started Healthier 4U Northwest to change that — to make the healthy choice the easy choice, in the places people already are.
A passion for health and wellness
Meet Brenda
Brenda Sjothun is a Registered Nurse and licensed holistic massage therapist with a lifelong passion for health, wellness, and helping others. Her healthcare background gives Healthier 4U Northwest a perspective that goes well beyond traditional vending.
Brenda believes small choices made consistently can have a meaningful impact on how people feel and live. That philosophy is at the heart of Healthier 4U Northwest.
We aren't trying to tell people what they should eat. We simply believe that when someone wants to make a healthier choice, that choice should be available.
Endurance, coaching and the pursuit of better
Co-Founder · IRONMAN Finisher, Endurance Coach
Meet Chris
Chris Sjothun brings another dimension to the company's focus on health and wellness. As an IRONMAN finisher, endurance athlete, and endurance coach, Chris understands the importance of nutrition, consistency, discipline, and making good choices over time. His work with endurance athletes reinforces the same philosophy behind Healthier 4U Northwest — meaningful improvement doesn't come from perfection. It comes from having better options available and making good choices consistently.
Why Healthier 4U Northwest?
For us, this isn't simply about putting vending machines into buildings. It's about helping create healthier workplaces, healthier communities, and healthier everyday environments.
We combine Brenda's healthcare and holistic wellness background with Chris's endurance and coaching experience to bring a different perspective to vending.
And because we're locally owned and operated, our customers aren't dealing with a large national vending corporation. They're working directly with the people who own and operate the business.
Our mission
To make healthier choices convenient, accessible, and available wherever people live, work, train, and gather.
Everyone deserves a healthy choice.
