Caregiver Training & Life Coaching

 Caring for someone with cognitive impairments, physical limitations, or behavioral and mental health concerns can be deeply challenging. It’s not unusual to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or in need of guidance and new skills. 

My role is to walk beside you—step by step—throughout your caregiving journey.

 Together, we will uncover needs and bridge the gaps for both you and your loved one. This may involve creating solutions for home safety, strengthening your caregiving and communication skills, and navigating important decisions—such as legal and financial planning, advance directives, home care or hospice services, senior living options, and opportunities for social connection. 

Along the way, you’ll receive not only carefully vetted resources but also personalized tools to help you prioritize your own self-care and reduce the stress that often comes with caregiving.

✨ Are you feeling stuck in your personal growth, career, or your relationships?

✨ Are you struggling to rediscover your joy, purpose, or balance in life?

✨If you’re seeking self-improvement, meaningful connections, or a happier, more balanced life, support is within reach—and just a call away.

✨Are you seeking caregiver or individual support in a group environment?

As an experienced support group facilitator, I offer a safe and welcoming space where you’ll receive information, education, and validation. You’ll also benefit from the encouragement and camaraderie of peers who share similar concerns and challenges, while celebrating the "wins" together.

I offer a wide range of services for staff development, including one-on-one coaching and education sessions, group in-service training, and workshops.  The goal is to improve professional knowledge, strengthen caregiving skills, improve performance, and your connections with residents, patients and co-workers.

Some areas of my training expertise include cognitive care, hospice care, stress management, customer service, and personal or professional skill building.  I will also create customized programs to suit your specific staff development needs.  

Having presented to thousands of staff, family, and community members, I am humbled to continuously see feedback as: 

✨"I can't wait for Melissa to do another training.  What a great presenter!" 

 ✨"Engaging and informative. I learned so much, especially with the real stories and examples she gave!"
