I watched my mom, a nurse trained to care for others, stay strong on the outside while silently carrying the weight of supporting my dad, who had Huntington’s Disease.

When we lost her far too soon, I stepped into that role to help care for him.

I’m on a mission to help the  supporters - the ones who quietly hold everything together for others. I teach them how to protect their energy, restore their strength, and build resilience so they can keep doing what they love — without losing themselves in the process.

It’s not about adding more to their plate. It’s about practical brain-based and receiving the kind of support they’ve always given to others.
