Confident 50+ Living: Growing Wellness, Brands, and a Life of Intention.

I am Gillian Larmond, also known as Queen Gee. In my 50s, I have chosen a life rooted in clarity. My garden is my laboratory, and my life is the proof. I help purpose-led Jamaican wellness brands move from “invisible” to “intentional” by diagnosing where their sales flow is breaking down, and help them fix it. I also grow herbs and food in containers, practice daily tea rituals, and am on a mission to help Grow Back Jamaica – reclaiming food security, one plant, one pot at a time. This is a space for intentional living, gentle growth, and strategic clarity.
