Offerings

Monthly Support Group (free)

I lead a monthly support group for caregivers of loved ones with chronic illnesses like ME/CFS, Long COVID, and other debilitating health conditions via Zoom. While this support group is focused on partner caregivers, all types of caregivers are welcome to join since we face similar challenges. Why join?

We focus on monthly topics that I curate and prepare short lessons and guidance on. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and ideas on the monthly topic. Previous topics include how to deal with loneliness, ambiguous loss, and our complex relationships with our loved ones who are ill.

We dedicate time to meet in smaller breakout groups to connect with others in a more intimate way, to tell our individual stories, hear others’ stories, and give support and ideas to help each other.

Now that attendance has grown over the past 5+ years, we’ve started using the Zoom chat to introduce ourselves, ask questions on things we are struggling with, and offer ideas based on our personal experiences – so we are collectively helping each other.

If you’d like to be added to the Caregiver Wisdom email newsletter, where I send meeting reminders and announce topics, sign up below.

Inner Wisdom Coaching (paid)

Many caregivers feel overwhelmed with caregiving responsibilities and may have a tough time maintaining their own wellbeing. If that's you, you may benefit from 1-on-1 support.

Personal coaches are like having a personal facilitator for your life. Coaching is for people who want to create strategies to reach their goals and stay on track.

The coaching I offer emphasizes helping people see the inner wisdom they have within themselves. I can help you clarify the next steps to meet your goals, and support you to take those steps.

I have completed a training program and passed a rigorous exam to become a board-certified health & wellness coach. It is deeply fulfilling to assist my clients who desire personal growth, and to witness their transformation.
