I AM HERE TO INSPIRE YOU
My Story
For more than three decades, my journey through Natural Integrative Health, metaphysical healing, and human transformation has revealed one undeniable truth: we are not merely physical beings — we are energetic, intuitive, divinely connected creations with a purpose greater than ourselves.
My life’s work has been shaped by this revelation.
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.
-Dr. Maxine McLean, PhD, public figure, keynote speaker
Dr. McLean’s legacy is defined not by isolated products or programs, but by the establishment of a cohesive mental wellness system designed for longevity, transferability, and continued application.
Rooted in values of compassion, accessibility, and preventative care, Dr. McLean’s work contributes to a broader cultural shift in how mental wellness is understood and practiced. Her frameworks emphasize dignity, personal agency, and emotional responsibility, aligning with public health priorities while remaining adaptable across diverse populations and settings.
Her influence extends beyond individual use, informing organizational, educational, and community-based approaches to emotional well-being. The enduring relevance of her work lies in its system-based design, allowing concepts and practices to persist independently of her direct involvement.
Her work remains notable for its capacity to endure across generations, disciplines, and evolving mental health landscapes.
I stand as a writer, humanitarian, health-coach Keynote speaker, healing facilitator, educator, and artist — but beyond titles, I am a voice committed to reshaping how people experience their emotional and spiritual lives. I strive to be a character-building force in a world searching for grounding, meaning, and inner renewal.
My passion is simple yet profound:
to empower individuals to strengthen their emotional core, reconnect with their energetic identity, and access the healing intelligence that already lives within them.
This calling led me to create the Gratitude Keeper® Mental Wellness System — a collection of intentional, therapeutic tools designed to interrupt mental spiraling, restore emotional harmony, and support whole-person self-care. These products are part of a global mental wellness movement rooted in neuroplasticity, gratitude, and the belief that healing begins in the mind before it manifests in life.
My mission is not just to inspire change —
it is to awaken transformation.
