Altard State of Mindfulness
Our nonprofit is dedicated to uplifting women through advocacy, development, and support, helping them navigate life’s challenges. We serve as trusted liaisons, connecting women with vital resources such as counseling, legal guidance, housing assistance, access to clothing, and home furnishings. While we do not provide all of these services directly, we collaborate with experienced professionals and local organizations to ensure women receive the help they need.
Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but we are committed to fostering independence and encouraging personal growth. We empower women to build bright, fulfilling futures by providing support and creating opportunities.

Hi, my name is Anna Gardyasz! During my own health and wellness journey, while searching for the root causes of my health issues, I discovered a passion for helping others heal and love paying the gift of healing forward. I focus on helping women detox, cleanse, and nourish their bodies by eating the right foods to feel better than ever.
Anna serves as Secretary and Treasurer of Operation. She has her Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and is also a certified Health Coach.

Improving one life at a time is how we change the world.
