Founder: Throy Campbell, PhD
Storyteller | Researcher | Educator | Founder of Cultivate Health Narratives
Dr. Throy Campbell is a storyteller, educator, and faith-driven researcher whose work bridges the gap between spiritual wellness, personal resilience, and community advocacy. As founder of Cultivate Health Narratives, he leads a transformative movement that empowers individuals—especially those facing health crises like cancer—to reclaim their stories through the healing practice of spiritual decluttering.
Born and raised in rural Jamaica, Dr. Campbell’s life story is a powerful testimony to faith, perseverance, and the impact of a praying mother. From humble beginnings to becoming a Ph.D. scholar and professor, his journey, captured in his memoir From Rural Roots to Academic Heights, demonstrates how faith cultivated in adversity can become a guiding force for success. His mother's unwavering belief in God's promises laid the foundation for his own faith, which he now shares with others facing life’s uncertainties.
In his second book, Clearing the Clutter: Cancer’s Lesson on What Truly Matters, Dr. Campbell curates real stories from cancer survivors and caregivers, offering readers tools for emotional and spiritual healing. Through this work, he introduces his signature concept of spiritual decluttering—a reflective process that invites individuals to release mental, emotional, and spiritual burdens by focusing on God’s grace and divine record-keeping.
At the heart of Cultivate Health Narratives is Dr. Campbell’s mission: to cultivate health through storytelling, education, and advocacy. Through workshops, retreats, podcasts, and community-based research, he creates spaces where people find clarity, faith, and strength by sharing their journeys. His mantra echoes an ancient proverb: “Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.”
