Southwest Institute of Healing ...

I am very patient. I grew up with both handicapped and mentally disabled family members and friends, so I have life experience. I care for those interested to me as if they were family and try to make sure that their family members or close friends if there is no family are involved. I have a happy disposition and smile a lot and try to be positive no matter the situation. I became a caregiver during COVID-19 pandemic before that I was a massage therapist and holistic healer. I have been caring for people most of my life, and it just seemed a natural change over. I am a mother figure most people call me mama. I am just a natural caregiver. And I enjoy, helping others feel that they are safe and cared for. For the corporate franchise that I work, for I have been a caregiver of the month, but most of my proud moments would be of my holistic background, and being the mother and matriarch of the family of my generation. (I do not do heavy lifting so no transferring)

Hello there! My name is Kelci. I am a 37 yr old mom of two. Caregiving has always been second nature to me. My empathic and compassionate personality led me into caring for many communities, including children, the elderly and individuals with developmental disabilities. I am trained as a CNA and in medication administration and have taken many continuing education courses throughout my 7+ years of professional experience working with clients in both state run facilities and private homes. No other work has been quite as fun or personally fulfilling as caregiving due to the amazing connections that have been formed with my clients. My future goals include creating a holistic wellness business where I will offer various modalities of alternative healing, primarily hypnotherapy which I am professionally trained in. As I build that reality, I plan to continue to learn and grow through assisting people in my community as a caregiver.

I have over 15 years experience as a caregiver for elders with limitations due to age or illness such as Parkinson's , Alzheimer's and and those at the end of life with cancer. I learned about the complex needs of my clients and and their families and how to meet those needs with compassion, kindness and humor. I love the relationships that develop with my clients and their families.

I become a caregiver went i feel that my hands and my heart are capable to give care and love, with respect ,companion and professionalism. I am a CNA. with 12 years of experience in rehabilitation centers, hospitals, hospice patients, and much more ,also with strong references

I started caregiving about 10 years ago. Prior to that I had been a bookkeeper for 15 years. I love helping people especially the sick and elderly. My goal with each patient is to help them to feel better about themselves let them know that they are valued and treat them with dignity.My biggest achievement was to see a man go from not even being able to walk because of atrophy, then to a wheelchair, then to a walker, then to a cane and then to walk unassisted completely.

People have always told me my best quality is my ability to listen and really hear what someone is saying. I listen with my heart. After completing my degree, I've decided to embrace the end of life care, or a death doula. This is a huge honor to help a soul transition. I'm there for however long the journey takes us and it's on my patient's terms . I was there to see my son fly home and to let my Dad know it's time; now I'm ready to help others embrace their last breath with dignity and honor and most of all, love.
