About Us

Born from Struggle. Built on Hope. Here to Help.

I grew up in pain, surrounded by struggle, but I always held onto one thing: hope — the tiniest spark that maybe, just maybe, things could get better. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, unseen, and barely hanging on. And I also know the power of someone showing up when you least expect it.

That’s why I created the Happiness Matters Foundation — to be that someone for others.

🌻 Where Hope Meets Action

Hope is beautiful, but it’s not enough on its own.
Healing and growth happen when we turn that spark into action — when we learn, connect, and start believing in what’s possible again.

At the Happiness Matters Foundation, we’re here to make transformation accessible.
Through free self-study courses, holistic healing sessions, and empowering resources, we help people rebuild confidence, release emotional weight, and rediscover their inner strength.

No shame. No barriers. No price tag.
Just real relief, real freedom, and real change — from the inside out.

🌈 Our Reach, Our Ripple

We proudly serve families and individuals here in Colorado, and our vision is growing — to create ripples of healing, hope, and empowerment across the U.S. and beyond.

Every act of generosity — whether it’s $1 or a shared smile — fuels that ripple.
It multiplies into courage, learning, and connection that changes lives in ways no number ever could.

Because hope isn’t a luxury — it’s a right.
And together, we’re here to turn that hope into healing.

Help Hope Multiply

Hope is just the starting point.

🌟 Vision

Our dream is a future where education and healing empower people to thrive, and freedom lights the way for generations. Lasting happiness begins when burdens are lifted, knowledge is shared, and joy becomes a legacy.

🌟 Mission

At the Happiness Matters Foundation, we empower people to create lasting change through education, healing, and community support.
Together, we rebuild confidence, nurture knowledge, and ignite hope — because happiness matters, freedom matters, and everyone deserves both.

🌟 Core Values

We believe in...

🔹 Hope in Action
We don’t wait for change — we create it. One spark of hope can light the way to a whole new life.

🔹 Compassion Over Judgment
No shame, no blame, no strings attached. We meet people where they are — with dignity and kindness.

🔹 Freedom from Within
Real freedom begins when the weight we carry — emotional, mental, or financial — is finally released.
It’s not just relief; it’s healing that lasts.

🔹 Empowerment Through Education
We believe knowledge heals. Tools for learning, mindset, and growth are the foundation for lasting transformation.

🔹 Transparency & Trust
We’re open books — always honest, always accountable. Every dollar and every decision reflects our integrity and purpose.

🔹 Equity & Inclusion
We champion those too often overlooked — single parents, seniors, people with disabilities — and make sure everyone has a seat at the table.

🔹 Joy as a Birthright
We celebrate often, laugh loudly, and believe happiness isn’t optional — it’s essential. Joy fuels healing and reminds us that hope works best when it smiles.

🔹 A Win for One Must Be a Win for All
We don’t believe in band-aids or quick fixes. If everyone doesn’t win — we’re not doing it. Period.

Because healing, happiness, and growth should lift all of us — together.
