I AM HERE TO INSPIRE YOU
My Story
Throughout three decades of learning and advocating for Natural Integrative health and metaphysical healing practices, I’ve come to realize that we are not just physical and vital, but energetic beings, universally connected for a purpose greater than self. I continually strive to be a character-moulding force for others by focusing on being a writer, humanitarian, health-coach-speaker, healing facilitator, educator and artist. I’m passionate about motivating others to build a stronger emotional core and to connect with their energetic self. So, I developed Gratitude Keeper® mental wellness products — intentionally and therapeutically created to be part of a growing mental wellness movement that recognizes the mind's role in healing, emotional harmony and whole-person self-care — especially in moments when the mind begins to spiral.
I’m the founder of the Corporation Gratitude Keeper®, designed to work with people in developing regions of the world in order to provide them with clean potable water and a sustainable income. As a result of this work, thousands of people now benefit from accessing clean water. Their livelihood has improved by having better health and time for education.
I am grateful for all the support I’ve had to help me launch this humanitarian outreach. I’m absolutely motivated, and proud of my accomplishments.
I am encouraged to connect, inspire, and positively impact other people’s lives to help them rise.

Whether it's overthinking, negative self-talk, procrastination, lack of motivation, or feelings of low self-confidence — even anxiety, fear and despair — these patterns can quietly chip away at our wellbeing. They often cause us to focus on what is lacking rather than what is possible, leading to a distorted view of self-care and slowing down our personal growth. Through intentional practices, rooted in gratitude, mindset programming and emotional awareness, Gratitude Keeper helps to shift the inner dialogue from survival mode to self compassion, calm, clarity and action — retraining the brain to pause, reflect and reset. These products support emotional wellness — empowering the ongoing development of a grounded, balanced and inspired life.
