About Cori

Coming from a family of medical practitioners, caregiving may be in my genes. My natural positive energy and desire to help, assist and comfort others have all been lifelong assets when working with children and seniors. I am interested in learning and doing all I can to help people be inspired, secure and cared for as much as possible. I believe this aids in their own healing, recovery, and longevity. In recent years as a caretaker for two senior family members, I was impressed with my ability to tune into some of the emotional issues of the family members and offer useful ideas to help them operate around some destructive behavior. It takes a village to raise and support a family.
