After 45 years as a nurse and caregiver, I’ve personally experienced the paucity of self-care that stems from giving your life to helping others.
Through private coaching, speaking events, and my book, Self-care Strategies for Family Caregivers, I help emotionally and physically drained caregivers re-prioritize themselves through holistic, practical strategies to well-being, rebuilding resilience, and battling burnout so they can regain control over their lives and rediscover their authentic self.
Personalized Coaching
Through 1:1 coaching, I help overwhelmed caregivers re-discover themselves by rewriting the narrative that controls their lives. Together, we can identify opportunities for applying life-changing strategies that can transform your health and wellbeing.
Workshops and Retreats
By providing full-length keynote presentations and 18-minute TED-talk like high-powered speeches, your group will be inspired to take action by setting aside beliefs that no longer serve them and taking steps to become the best version of themselves.
Educational Resources
In my book, Self-care Strategies for Family Caregivers, you will find five arenas of life that require self-care for anyone serving as a caregiver. You will also find recommendations and tools that help you overcome the myriad obstacles of prioritizing self-care.

It’s Just a Cold. . .
This week, I caught a “cold.” It presented as a sinus infection, likely viral, and fairly annoying if not completely debilitating. I think the added distress of this infection was that I haven’t had a “cold” in the last several years. I think I believed I was “immune” – but of course, I’m not.
OMG, Road Trip(s)!
For those of you who lead “normal” lives – lives that aren’t built around the needs of other people with serious limitations – the idea of taking a road trip probably sounds entirely ordinary. But for a full-time caregiver (like me), the logistics associated with the notion of getting into a car, spending several hours in that confined space, transporting our life (with all the necessary belongings) to a hotel, spending the night, and enjoying a different expanse of scenery is entirely foreign!
Where does the time go?
It’s Labor Day weekend which reminds me that we’ve reached the end of meteorological summer. And, of course, I ask myself, “Where did the summer go?” That’s because I can’t remember what I did with the time, how I used it, squandered it, enjoyed it, wasted it or invested it – it just vanished.
