Lifted Wellness

Janet McGee is the Chief Visionary for Lifted Wellness and Cafe and an instructor in the Mortuary Science program at the University of Minnesota. She graduated from the U of M and worked as a licensed mortician for several years. Following a career change, she attained her MBA while working at one of the largest banks in the U.S. In 2016, her toddler son, Ted, died from a product that did not meet safety standards. Following his death, she spent six years advocating for consumer product safety at the local, national, and international level. Her advocacy led to mandatory safety standards for clothing storage units with the passage of the STURDY Act, signed into federal law by President Biden in 2022. She is a mom of four kids, a Minnesota licensed mortician, and a Certified Life Celebrant. Her personal and professional experiences have led her to be a voice of support and guidance for many who have experienced the death of a loved one.
