Holistic Elder Care
Companionship and support for loved ones in the Golden Years
Wellness Education, Aromatherapy & Meaningful Companionship for Your Loved Ones
With over 25 years of experience in holistic health, I bring a rare blend of intuition, skill, and deeply grounded care to every elder I serve. I’m a wellness educator, aromatherapist, and therapeutic guide trained in palliative care — and I specialize in creating inclusive, sensory-based programs that offer emotional connection, mental clarity, and physical ease.
Whether your loved one is navigating memory loss, grief, confusion, or the loneliness of their golden years, I meet them with compassion, curiosity, and presence. My offerings aren’t just “activities” — they’re experiences crafted to uplift, soothe, and reconnect elders to their inner spark.
Let’s make this season of life feel beautiful.
If you’re seeking gentle, meaningful support for someone you love, I’d be honoured to help.
Let’s talk about how I can bring calm, connection, and holistic care to your loved one’s life.
