Owner & Chief Visionary

Guided by compassion and intention, Janet creates spaces where people feel deeply supported. As a Minnesota-licensed mortician and University of Minnesota instructor, she infuses decades of leadership, education, and service into everything she does.

Janet is a mother to four children—three on Earth and one on the other side—and she continually navigates the journey of parenting across both worlds. Following the tragic death of her son, Ted, in a 2016 dresser tip-over, Janet co-founded Parents Against Tip-overs (PAT), a group comprised of parents from across the nation whose children died from a dresser tip-over. Through years of relentless national advocacy, she and PAT successfully championed the STURDY Act, which President Biden signed into law in 2022 to protect children from similar tragedies.

Janet believes that self-awareness, self-love, forgiveness, and growth are gifts we must actively choose to cultivate. 

"Death is our greatest teacher—ultimately showing us how to truly live." --Janet McGee

Guest Services & Experience Manager

For more than 30 years, Jeanna has had the privilege of caring for and pampering others as a hairstylist. Over that time, she learned that a visit to her chair is never just about hair. It's about creating intentional connections and building relationships that last. Many of her clients have walked through multiple phases of life with her, and she values that trust most.

As a former business owner, Jeanna understands what it takes to deliver an experience people want to return to, and she brings that perspective to every interaction with our guests.

Outside of work, her favorite moments are with her family, whether they're traveling together, sitting around the table playing games or enjoying a relaxing day at home. She loves to cook, and finds joy in sharing a meal or a treat with others!

"I can't wait to meet you where you are and share all that Lifted has to offer." --Jeanna Orris

Her diverse background has shaped the way she approaches her work, blending thoughtful innovation with a love for the craft and community that coffee brings.

Outside of work, Charlotte enjoys exploring her creative side through game development and baking, getting outdoors for a hike, and spending time with her two cats. Whether she's building something new, experimenting with a recipe, or discovering a new trail, she's always looking for inspiration in the everyday moments that make life special.
