Shaylene Wiseman, better known as Shay, was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada. She spent most of her early life exploring the forests and mountains as often as she could. Her love for nature, wildlife, and adventure led her overseas to experience different cultures. But it wasn’t long before the West Coast of BC called her home. Upon receiving the original recipe for her Cacao Chocolates, Shay couldn’t resist sharing this superfood with the rest of the world.

As the leading bean to bar chocolate maker at Wiser Beans, Shay always adds a sense of play, wonder, and intention to every piece of chocolate she creates. No ingredient is chosen at random, nor is any part of the Cacao bean wasted. Each handcrafted cacao nib and bar is made using a full scope of knowledge on how Cacao gives a boost to overall wellness, while simultaneously promoting good health.
