Sumu M.

I come from a family of individuals who have dedicated their life to the bettering of less fortunate individuals. A mother who has worked with mentally handicapped children for over 20 years, an aunt and uncle who currently care for and assist mentally handicapped adults, and a cousin who also works with elderly persons to better their standards of living and independence. This instilled in me a sense of compassion for those who cannot care for themselves, and motivated me to join them in this mission. My favorite part about being a caregiver, has been those times when I was able to help share an experience with someone who otherwise may have never been able to enjoy it again in their lifetime. I also enjoy gaining insight from the wisdom that my clients have obtained over the course of decades before me. I especially am drawn to persons who have served in the armed forces, and lived through some of the roughest times in world history. They are the true hero's in this life, and often don't get the attention they deserve. While I recognize that certain tasks involve some level of discomfort for many individuals, such as bathing and even simply inviting a stranger into ones home, I have become accustomed to these struggles, and have learned how to minimize that apprehension, while still maintaining the clients decency and feeling of privacy. My goal is to provide the support needed to give back whatever the client feels they have lost, and give peace of mind to family, knowing that their loved ones are safe even when they cannot be there for them.

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.
