Grysh&Ko Catering Ltd
I founded Grysh&Ko Catering to return event gastronomy to its true meaning — emotions, style, and the warmth of human care.
We combine European culinary classics with a modern approach and local Canadian products. For us, catering is not just about serving, but about a sophisticated experience that brings people together.
The company's mission is to make food a meaning and a moment. To create an experience that stays with guests after each event.

Sofi Jewelry
Together with my husband, we created Sofi Jewelry as a family workshop, where each piece of jewelry is not just a product, but a story created with love, taste, and attention to detail.
We combine classics and modern ideas, work by hand with high-quality materials, and put our soul into each design.
For us, jewelry is a way to convey feelings, preserve memories, and emphasize individuality.
Our goal is to create jewelry that will not just be accessories, but have emotional value for every woman.

Halyna Petko
Events and yoga retreat
organization
Together with my friend, we started organizing yoga in the park for Ukrainians. Our initial goal was to bring together a small Ukrainian community of like-minded people, knowing how hard it can be to find connections and friends after moving to a new country. Over time, we began organizing yoga events and retreats as well.
My mission is to bring people together in a nurturing environment where yoga, nature, and community help restore inner balance and energy.

Sofi Jewelry
Разом із чоловіком ми створили Sofi Jewelry як сімейну майстерню, де кожна прикраса — це не просто виріб, а історія, створена з любові, смаку й уваги до деталей.
Ми поєднуємо класику й сучасні ідеї, працюємо вручну з якісними матеріалами і вкладаємо душу в кожен дизайн.
Для нас ювелірна справа — це спосіб передати почуття, зберегти пам’ять і підкреслити індивідуальність.
Наша мета — створювати прикраси, які будуть не просто аксесуарами, а емоційною цінністю для кожної жінки.
