I am Gillian Larmond, affectionately known as Queen Gee. I live in Kingston, Jamaica, where I cultivate a lifestyle centered around vibrant wellness, creative self-expression, meaningful relationships, and the deep, grounding wisdom rooted in Jamaican tradition.
This space is my digital journal. It is where I document the herbs I am growing, the traditional teas I am brewing, the custom crochet pieces I am creating, and the work I do helping purpose-driven businesses grow. I believe that a vibrant, intentional, and confident life is possible at any stage, and it can begin with something as simple as a pot of mint on your doorstep, a handmade creation, or a meaningful business relationship.
My Journey: Where Healing Meets Heritage
My path into herbal wellness did not begin in a classroom. It began in 2017, when a deep personal loss sent me searching for answers in plant-based research and natural remedies. In 2018, a serious personal health experience deepened that search, transforming wellness from an interest into a daily practice.
Then came October 2025. After Hurricane Melissa passed, I looked at what remained and made a defining decision: I began growing herbs intentionally. Not only for my health, but also for food security, resilience, and the quiet confidence that comes from nourishing yourself from your own space.
Today, I tend a thriving backyard container garden filled with Green Mint, Guinea Hen Weed, Aloe Vera, Snake Plant, Blue Vervain, Leaf of Life, Dandelion, Scallion, and more. Most mornings begin with a cup of bush tea, steeped slowly and mindfully – a simple ritual rooted in generations of Jamaican tradition.
Growing Businesses with Purpose
My desire is simple: I want to see more people living healthier lives. While I enjoy growing herbs in my container garden, I know I can only grow so much. I can’t improve the health of a nation from a handful of pots.
That’s why I chose to combine my passion for wellness with more than two decades of experience in media, sales, and relationship building. As an independent B2B sales partner, I help wellness, garden, and sustainable lifestyle businesses in Jamaica build meaningful relationships that connect their products with more retailers, more customers, and ultimately, more people.
To me, this work is about more than making sales. It’s about helping purpose-driven businesses extend their reach so that together, we can make healthy, sustainable living more accessible. I believe the strongest businesses grow through trust, genuine connection, and long-term partnerships.
Creating Beauty, Growing with Purpose
Wellness isn’t only about what we put into our bodies. It’s also about how we express ourselves and create beautiful spaces that bring us joy.
For over 30 years, crochet has been one of my greatest creative passions. My handmade collections are designed to celebrate both beauty and function through two distinct expressions:
The Sanctuary Collection: This collection features crochet plant hangers, doilies, and table runners designed to elevate small spaces, maximize vertical gardening, and create peaceful, welcoming homes.
The Crown & Coast Collection: This collection features bespoke beachwear, swimwear, sarongs, and my signature ruffle and bucket hats – handcrafted pieces that celebrate confidence, elegance, and individuality.
Claiming Your Crown
I am a proud Jamaican woman in my 50s, learning in real time what it means to live exceptionally well; not perfectly, but intentionally, beautifully, and with purpose.
