Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from my childhood journey with asthma and a life-threatening allergic reaction to asthma medication. This early experience drove my passion for natural, safe solutions to respiratory health. Rooted in my indigenous heritage, CANēY empowers parents with proactive, family-friendly wellness options. My focus is creating a space where children access safe, effective, and enjoyable services, giving families practical tools for holistic health.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by thinking about my role as a mother and the example I want to set for my children. They inspire me every day to build a life rooted in purpose and balance. When things feel overwhelming, I remind myself that I’m creating something not just for my family, but for other parents who want safe, natural, and practical wellness solutions for theirs. Knowing I can empower families to prioritize their health while creating a joyful, welcoming space keeps me focused and driven.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would educate the community on the benefits of Halotherapy (Salt Therapy) and natural wellness. These funds would support workshops, campaigns, and partnerships to promote safe, effective options for respiratory health. This is more than growing my business—it’s about empowering families to take a proactive, natural approach to wellness and building a healthier, informed community through accessible, family-friendly services.
