LesMar Optimal Aging and Elder Care 2.37

Who am I? I bring much to aging adults through hands on care. I am researching aging adult housing and seeking to build a community for women to invest in after 60 years of age.

I hold a Masters of Divinity which is education in spiritual and soul care, providing help with those who are looking to ask the deep pondering questions. Pastoral care is very important to me as I sit at a bedside and help anyone deal with life's challenges emotionally and spiritually. As I study the work of Christina M. Puchalski, MD she is teaching me how to integrate spiritual care into patient and client care.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts Hons in the study of aging. This in hand with spiritual care practices generate a rounded approach to optimal aging compliments the medical care received when feeling unwell. This education helps me work with a person before they become "dis"eased and sick.

While pursuing the BA I studied in depth about optimal aging including social aging and the problems the older adult faces in society. I learned about home care and aging in place to keep older adults in their home longer and with family support saving thousands of dollars in formal caregiving. I also studied and welcome hospice care. Being with a person at end of life is a gift. It is a pleasure to share this time both with the dying and with the family.

I hold FIS, Fitness Instructor Specialist, which allows me to lead group fitness classes. Secondly, I hold PTS, Personal Trainer Specialist, which allows me to lead one on one instruction and help a person accomplish their goals. Lastly, I hold a HWL, Healthy Eating and Weight Loss specialist, which allows me to work with people who want to eat healthier and lose body fat. All three work hand in hand together making me a well rounded professional.

I am a registered hypnotherapist with the American Board of Hypnotherapy. I can offer services to help with shedding weight, smoking cessation or focussing your attention.

I have worked in the spiritual care industry as well has hands on care as the manager of an eight person hostel. Cooking, cleaning, supervising and companionship were all part of the job.

I truly want to work with you to make your life easier and to aid in helping you or a member of your family.
