Founder & CEO John Castagnini's Mother Passes Away

The ThankGodi brand was born from an event that rocked the life of founder and CEO, John Castagnini... The passing of his beloved mother, Lorraine. Was there an existing balance beyond John's emotions, even in his Mom's passing? It was at this point in his life, that John realized he had to 'walk the walk' and not just 'talk the talk'. In other words, he had to bring into balance, his OWN emotions of sadness and despair over the 'loss' of his mother, using the principles and practices he had been teaching for the last decade. Once John was able to do that, it added further lucidity to his teachings of balance and lead to the development of Equilibration®.
