Nurturing Caregivers to Thrive

Self Care is the 2019 buzz word.  But what does it mean and how does it apply to your life?

Self Care is not a one size fits all solution. Therefore, it must be personalized to you and your life.  I work with you to discover and create a workable template for you to take care of yourself.

Often when you are focused on others, you lose track of your own needs.  In the ever-changing dynamic of a caregiver’s life, priorities shift.  I will help keep you at a constant mind body balance so that your loved ones can continue to rely on you AND you will not always be at your wits end.

What makes my services different is that we focus on actionable items for your plan. That way it is easier to see if progress is being made or if something needs to change.

Services

In our sessions we start with an assessment inventory and discuss what is important to you and why.  Then we work together to put your plan into place and the resources that you need to achieve it.  We then have check ins to see how the progress being made, accountability checks and celebrate the successes, both big and small! Meetings can be in person, online or over the phone.  Timeline for meetings is determined based on your needs (ideally within a 12 week period).

You can also have Dana speak or run a workshop for your event or group.  Request a price quote today.

Special Needs

As a Special Needs parent (or caregiver) you know what ‘taking things to the next level’ is on many different fronts.  What is often set aside during this time is your wellbeing which can lead to burnout.  I have 15+ years working within the Special Needs field, including to medical, educational, benefits, legal, community resources, advocacy and relationship areas.

Long-Term Caregiver

Caregiving for a loved one often involves taking a ‘bird’s eye’ view to see what needs to be changed.  When we are in a rut, multiple small changes fail to happen which lead to bigger consequences.  Together we will help you be able to maintain that higher perspective and not get stuck in the day to day ruts.

About Me

I am a certified wellness professional, massage therapist as well as a caregiver.  Your journey is well known to me both as a special needs mother and as a member of several end-of-life care teams.  I know that we can work together to prioritize you so that you can continue being the caregiver your family needs and thrive.  I privately coached my clients throughout my 20-year career.  This year I am expanding to formalize this program because now the need is greater more than ever.  I have seen too many people living in burnout.

I look forward to working with you and find calm in the chaos.

Hiring Dana as my coach was amazing. She has a way of cutting to the heart of the problem, allowing me to see a different perspective and she’s funny also. Now I feel less overwhelmed even when the news isn’t always positive and enjoy my family again.
