About Michelle

I am a senior care professional with over 15 years in the retirement industry. I am also a trained exercise instructor and love to help everyone improve their quality of life by daily movement and exercise. I have a passion for helping seniors maintain their independence through movement and cognitive activities. I would love to work with your loved one and help them maintain an active engaging lifestyle. The most important thing we can do each say is "show up!" Through creative planning and engaging each person at their level of interest we could venture on a dynamic journey where everyone is blessed along the way. I have been CPR/First Aid certified for over 30 years and am well trained in dementia care (especially Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease) My most memorable moments with residents have been engaging them in daily exercise both for the body and the soul!

When I was young , being a help to others wa s very important to me. Witnessing suffering when I could make a difference was the reason for my choice to be a Medical Professional and I went to college to be a Registered Respiratory Therapist. I worked in the Heart Clinic at St Luke's Regional Medical Ctr in Boise Idaho, the Heart Transplant unit in Salt Lake City, Utah; and an LTAC Center in the San Francisco area for individuals who were difficult to wean off the ventilator and move on with their lives. A very rewarding history and it was a joy to see each patient go home with a new lease on life and move forward.
