Helping family Caregivers find
self-compassion & kindness
…So that you can:
preserve your health
keep important relationships intact
help your family pull through together
as a caregiver,
Have you ever felt profoundly honored to care for someone you love, and also like it’s the most difficult challenge you have ever faced?
have you ever felt guilty for feeling resentful? (or resentful for feeling so guilty all the time?)
Caregiving is the hardest job there is. It can be lonely, isolating, confusing, infuriating, shocking and boring all at the same time!
Caregiving changes you, challenges you, pushes you to your limits….
Don’t let it break you.
Imagine instead …
being able to breathe again, knowing you are (doing) enough.
Imagine …
Being supported in your grief without feeling consumed by it.
Having expert guidance as you navigate relationships changed by illness.
Building a life that tends to your spirit without compromising care for your loved one.
Caring for yourself, “the invisible second patient,” is essential.
Create a plan that works for you, your loved one, and your family.
Through my personalized spiritual care and coaching, I’ll work alongside you to develop an integrated plan tailored to you. You can create a life that will support and sustain you and your loved one through even the hardest moments of life alongside illness.

Neurologic diseases can last many years if not decades. This 6 month coaching package will support you to vision beyond the immediate daily crises, move through grief and towards a vibrant, soul-fulfilling life.
First: Reconnect with Yourself
Reconnect with your deeper self. Explore your hopes and vision for your life within and beyond the role of caregiver. Rediscover the strength and resilience which grounds you. Do the hard, necessary work to cultivate your spiritual foundation (grief, forgiveness, anger, acceptance, hope, despair, etc.) This will be the foundation that prepares you for the rest of this journey. When you have love for yourself, anything is possible.
Second: Find Your People
No one can walk this path alone. Dementia caregiving is an incredibly lonely journey, and finding people who understand your experience (without you needing to explain yourself ad-nauseum) is a life-line. Find the people who will support you on the hardest days. This community will help lighten your load and sustain you for the long haul.
Third: Communicate through any stage of dementia
Learn simple, practical tips to communicate through the current stage of dementia your loved ones is living through. Pragmatic, individualized education will help with the most frustrating communication ruts you are currently stuck in. These practical strategies will prepare you for the last step on our journey.
Finally: Share your Legacy
You are now grounded in your unique strengths, actively nourishing your spirit and connecting with community. You will take all this to your larger family relationships. We will trouble-shoot particularly challenging relationships and prepare you to guide your family (siblings, children, grandchildren) to feel successful in their visits with you and your loved one. Leave a legacy that is authentic, rooted in your unique life, and connected with everyone you love.
The ultimate goal is to create a legacy of love for your family, your person, and yourself.
