Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking
As a Care Preparedness Guide, I help individuals, families, friends and communities navigate non-medical issues of care before crisis hits.
Looking at care as an ecosystem of relationships, I ask:
“Who are you caring for?
“Who is caring for you?”
“How might this change in the future?”
As a client, you will learn practical tools designed to maximize relationships, meaning and wellbeing.

I offer a new language for making care discussable and dignified. In our sessions, clients gain clarity, confidence and peace of mind.

I support siblings individually and together with family members to navigate shared caring roles, responsibilities and expectations.

I am specially trained to conduct interviews that result in a meaningful legacy document for future generations.
