We believe that every child has the right to drink the very best water all day, every day. It is critical to their wellbeing and longevity.
“It is distinctly possible our children may live shorter lives than us. It’s a frightening prospect.”
The New England Journal of Medicine 2005
We have a dedicated team of water scientists, professional health educators, traditional and alternative health practitioners, teachers, school administrators and mothers who have combined their passions and talents to work with us to deliver our important message that "hydration with Alkaline Mineral Water is the foundation to our children’s longevity and good health" to Australian & New Zealand families.
Vanessa Drummond (left) and Janet Parker (right) launched zazen in 2008 because they became aware of the alarming trends regarding the Australian & New Zealand child health & wellbeing trends and felt a deep responsibility to act.
From Janet Parker, CEO of
zazen Water:
“We are professional women with backgrounds in marketing, commerce & natural health who over the past five years have become aware of the trends in the health & wellbeing of our children.

When we first heard the fact that the current generation will be the first generation to live a shorter lifespan than previous generations, we were shocked, and felt a deep responsibility to act. Especially for me, with 23 nieces and nephews ranging from the ages of 5 to 25.
We asked ourselves, what ONE THING can we do to have the GREATEST IMPACT?
We knew NOT ALL WATER IS THE SAME. We have seen and experienced the difference in people’s general health and energy levels from drinking an alkaline, mineralised water.
No amount of good food, juice and milk will compensate for a lack of water in children’s bodies. Proper hydration with sufficient quality and quantity water is paramount to the health, vitality and longevity of our children.
Our mission is to give every child free access to the highest quality drinking water all day every day in school (at no cost to the school) - we believe it’s their right!
Why are we doing this? After extensive research, we simply found that no one else was focused on the importance of child hydration and the essential health properties of water. All government health initiatives are focused on healthy foods education and whilst the Australian Government has spent tens of millions of dollars advertising the water conservation issue, there has been not one advertisement on the health benefits of drinking water which could have a major impact on the national health standard in Australia.
zazen was thus created as a social business enterprise where we measure our success on:
- the number of children educated on the Secret of Water through our Water Ambassador Lessons
- the number of free zazen systems in classrooms throughout Australia & New Zealand.
One of our key Social Projects, developed to achieve this vision is the zazen Water School Program, which was launched in 2008 in Australia in
Queensland and New South Wales, as well as New Zealand, and so far in 2009
we have launched into Victoria in Australia with our awesome team who are
passionate and committed – but we know, we will have the support of many many mothers out there in their local communities, once they become educated on this issue. If you are one of those mothers and wish to join us on this journey or want to know how to take the Program into your child’s school, please click here to contact us.”
For a Wellness Generation,
Janet
