Your mental stability is the single most important factor in your loved one's quality of life.  

How are you doing?    

  • I need help and more direction.
  • I feel like I'm constantly reacting. 
  • I miss the connection we used to have.
  • Big decisions feel overwhelming and unclear.
  • I'm trying so hard, but nothing seems to be working.
  • I'm exhausted, and my own needs keep getting pushed aside.

Marriage & Dementia

65% of primary caregivers have a major health challenge or die before their partner because they didn't have enough support.  I teach spouses how to regulate stress and prioritize both of your needs without the guilt. 

Senior Living Transitions

Moving is more than a physical change.  It's an emotional journey.  I give families the why, where, and how- plus scripts for "what to say when" that minimize the emotional trauma and frustrations of a move 100% of the time. 

Family Conflicts

Changing healthcare needs affect the whole family.  I can help you master the art and timing of communication, respond to resistance, and work more collaboratively with siblings, partners, and parents to create healthcare plans everyone can agree on.

Coaching Transformations

"I have been working with Robin for over 3 years and cannot say enough positive things about the experience. Having someone there to walk you through the process is unbelievably helpful. It is a beautiful combination of knowledge sharing, therapy, operational assistance, and emotional support. I honestly don't know how I could have walked this without her!"
Rebecca Zion ~ family caregiver
"Robin has been the most valuable support I have received on this painful and lonely journey. I am grateful for the ways she has helped me balance my grief with joy and reminded me of the positives and perspective shifts that are possible even amidst the pain. I cannot recommend her enough!!!"
Michelle Hardy ~ spousal caregiver
"Coaching was so very helpful in guiding our family through the process of transitioning my wife from home care to a memory care facility. It was not easy for our family, but Robin was there to help at every step. I would highly recommend her for those who need help with this difficult situation." 
 
John Razza ~ spousal caregiver
"Invaluable education and coaching for living and caring for my partner with a progressive and heartbreaking neurodegenerative disease. I do not think I would have survived the stress. Robin coached and taught me how I could best show up with an open heart for myself and my beloved."
 
Jeff Burkholder ~ spousal caregiver
