2018 Speakers

Jeniffer Alburquerque, NTP
Author, Founder, Naked Flavors
For many years she struggled with severe acne and digestive disorders that made her feel lousy and purposeless. Her frustration for so many unsuccessful attempts to heal her condition led her making a life changing decision – to give mother nature a chance to cure her.
This experience helped her discover her great passion for cooking and nutrition. Today Jen spends her time empowering women to take control of their health stress-free.

Caroline Clavin
Founder, Chief Gratitude Officer
On a walk, one day in October 2015, while reflecting on her career path, she thought, “The only job title I really want is Chief Gratitude Officer.” With that (and a few giggles), her inspiring little company was born. She believes that this name and title honor the powerful work that can be done to focus energy on feeding the soul as opposed to feeding the ego. Caroline believes strongly that gratitude can move us from scarcity thinking to conscious recognition of the abundance in our lives. Life’s challenges become a little less daunting when we realize the unexpected gifts that accompany them. Check out her website at www.chiefgratitudeofficer.com and search for Chief Gratitude Officer® on Facebook and Instagram to see how you too can become a CGO (Chief Gratitude Officer®)!
