As a Certified Life Coach, Certified Massage Therapist and Health Educator I have coached my clients in making lifestyle changes that have a positive impact on their lives. I know first hand that taking care of an elderly loved one can be one of the most stressful situations in life.
 
My journey into elder care started at age 10 when my Grandma Irma came to live with my family after the death of my grandfather. At first she was what we call “young old” active and vibrant, even owning and running her own business. Eventually she became “old old” and an invalid needing 24 hour a day care, all in our home. It was rough but it also had its important life lessons and experiences that I was able to tap into when called upon in 2001 to care for my father-in-law Jack. Jack passed away in 2005. The situations were different but some of what I went through was the same and now that I am helping my sisters in the beginning stages of caring for our parents, that too is different but some things are also very much the same.
I am committed to helping you create a living environment that is healthy and safe for your loved one whether they are in their own home, living with you or another family member or living in a care facility. I am here to help you make your life less stressful and more joyful. A healthy and safe environment for your loved one and for you is a must. I know that there is no way to make it perfect but we can work together to make it as good as possible.

I am a 1992 graduate of the National Holistic Institute, receiving my Massage Therapy and Health Education Certification and I am a 2006 graduate of Coach Training Alliance, receiving my Life Coach Certification.
 
I live in beautiful Washington with my wonderful husband Raymond, I have two grown children and one adorable (gulp) grandson who was born during the time I was taking care of Jack.

I am excited about meeting you and working with you.

Blessings to you today and always,
Donna
