Helping you thrive in life’s golden chapter
Health and Wellness Companion Support
As a certified Health and Wellness Coach, I provide uplifting one-on-one support through meaningful, introspective nuanced conversations and personalized wellness plans rooted in accountability and compassion. My focus is on emotional well-being and authentic connection, offering genuine friendship and encouragement—especially for seniors who may feel disconnected.
For those in the later stages of life, I emphasize and support end-of-life reflection by fostering self-awareness and guiding individuals toward a sense of self-fulfillment and acceptance. Each visit is thoughtfully customized to honor personal interests, comfort levels, and emotional needs.
My client-centered approach to companionship is grounded in mindfulness, attentive presence, and a sincere commitment to making every individual feel seen, heard, and truly valued. Whether it’s through shared stories, quiet reflection, or joyful moments of connection, I strive to bring peace, dignity, and heartfelt companionship into every interaction.
Medical Appointments and Transportation
Help schedule, coordinate, and accompany you or loved one to doctor visits, providing transport and in-appointment companionship when needed. My presence delivers emotional support during potentially stressful visits and ensures that appointments run smoothly. I can assist with paperwork, reminders, and follow-up instructions to help you stay organized and feel confident in your care plans. With patience and understanding, I remain by your side from start to finish, creating a seamless, supported experience. Families can trust that you or a loved one is never alone in managing health needs.
Moving/Downsizing Support
Moving or downsizing can be overwhelming, especially when it involves parting with sentimental belongings. I bring compassionate, hands-on assistance through every step of the process — from sorting and packing to organizing donations and coordinating logistics. My approach to each project is with patience and understanding that every item may hold a special memory. My role is to help clients transition smoothly into a new space while preserving what’s most meaningful to them. Whether it’s moving to a smaller home, assisted living, or simply decluttering, creating a comforting path forward to help you feel at home.
Wellness Check-Ins
Wellness check-ins provide compassionate, consistent support for you or a loved one who may benefit from regular monitoring. Whether through a friendly phone call or a warm in-person visit, these check-ins offer reassurance, encourage healthy routines, and provide families with peace of mind.
In-person visits include observing the home environment, gently checking for signs of discomfort or emotional distress, and offering kind reminders for hydration, meals, or medication. Each check-in is thoughtfully tailored to feel personal, uplifting, and mindful of your comfort and preferences.
Following each visit or call, families receive a brief, reassuring update to stay informed and connected to your well-being. At the heart of every check-in is genuine care and a commitment to nurturing safety, dignity, and emotional connection.
