My primary concern as a caregiver is to make sure that my client is able to function at the best of their ability and to make sure that they are having the highest quality of life that they are able to have. I am not only there for my client but I am also there for the family (such as: to let them go grocery shopping, are just to be another set of ears at doctor appointments or for the family. After a few days with the client and the family I begin to consider them family. I have a great amount of nurturing and empathy, some say I care to much but I give 150% to my clients and families. I enjoy order and dispensing medication, relating to my clients, enjoy the pass and working on family history. I have no parents or grandparents so my clients kind of fill these roles. I have been a first responder, EMT, CPR Instructor, nurse's aide, and medication aide. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is having a D.N.S. that I work with for a long time trust me to teach new nurse's the medication routine and to be a charge nurse. As a personal care giver the highest praise I can be given is for my client to tell me I must be an angel and that they love me.

I am an energy healer and a soul midwife. I have a healing practice that provides these services, along with many others. My work as a caregiver goes hand in hand with my healing practice. As a soul midwife I assist people through the dying process, as well as life transitions. I am there for emotional, spiritual, and physical support and guidance for the dying and the loved ones. I also specialize in supporting and servicing people with dementia and their families. In addition to caring for individuals with Alzheimers or dementia, I also consult with families and caregivers on how to live and work with this disease through an approach of subtle energy, and in a way that benefits their loved one. I am empathic and intuitive and can tune in easily to the needs of others. I became a caregiver because a friend recommended the work and it turned out to be very suitable to me, naturally. I have spent most of my caregiving career working with alzheimers and dementia, as well as death and dying. Special work that I am honored to be doing.
