Hello, Caregiver
I'M JESSICA
Like you, I'm a family caregiver.
I'm also the founder of
TAKE CARE
a boutique coaching practice dedicated to family caregivers.
I help you find balance, maximize resilience, and navigate
the stress of caring for a loved one during a prolonged illness.
WE TAKE CARE OF YOU
So You Can Take Care of Them
DOES CAREGIVING HAVE YOU TIED IN KNOTS?
If you've ever said..
No one prepared me for taking care of my parent during a life-threatening illness. What am I even doing? Is there a handbook for what to expect -- when you are a caregiver?
Or felt....
I'm losing my sense of self. I don't have time to decompress or center myself. I'm happy to be of service to the people I love, but I'm not sure who I am any more, besides a caregiver.
​
Or wondered....
How am I going to balance everything in my life? Between kids, job and caregiving, I feel so lonely. Is anyone else going through this as well? Am I the only one who can't balance it all?
CARE COACHING IS FOR YOU
WHAT IS CARE COACHING?
Caring for a family member or loved one during a prolonged illness is an all-encompassing endeavor. It can also be lonely and depleting, no matter how much you care about "your person."
Take Care Academy was created to directly support caregivers. Our one-on-one coaching sessions have been developed to support your mental health, guide you forward, and generally offer a soft place to land whenever you need a boost. We make space to put down the weight of today's emotional heavy lifting.
​
Blending professional coaching techniques and personal experience, we help you navigate one of life's most unexpected — and least discussed — challenges.

SELF-CARE ISN'T SELFISH

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
​
MORE CARETAKERS THAN NEW MOMS
​
In America alone there are approximately 40 Million care takers experiencing the same roller coaster as you - that's 40x more caregivers than new parents each year. Caring can be isolating, and in sessions, we'll find ways for you to overcome isolation or loneliness. You aren't alone!
FROM ONE CAREGIVER
TO ANOTHER
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
I created Take Care Academy because no one teaches us how to be caregivers. We are so often thrown in to the deep end without any direction, support or guidance. My goal is to change the conversation around care so others don't feel lost or alone.
​
My story centers around two diagnoses. Mine and, a decade later, my mother's. It's a very personal story that informs my views and focus as a coach. I understand the experience of patient and caregiver first hand. After my own diagnosis with a chronic illness (inconveniently during an Ivy League graduate program!) I set out on an expedition to regain my health. Years of research, doctors, and trial and error to regain my health, I was the logical choice to step into the role of caregiver when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.
After successfully taking care of my mother through chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and subsequent regaining of her health, I knew that I wanted to help others navigating personal challenges. I went on to build a coaching practice with a global client list.
​
I work with clients across the world from across every socioeconomic, class, gender, and age range. The tools in my programs have helped over a thousand clients repair their relationships, understand themselves better, reduce conflict, eliminate guilt, and allowed them to move forward with a happier, healthier life.
​
My Care Coaching sessions are customized to your needs. We'll begin with an intake session to understand your biggest challenges, and from the first session you'll leave with strategies to implement and new ways to engage with your challenges. You'll leave lighter and with a clear vision for your next step. And of course, a plan of action to take care of yourself in the process.
​
Does this sound like what you need right now? It would be an honor to work with you!
WHY CARE COACHING?
EFFECTIVE
With testimonials from hundreds and an infinite amount of client change, my coaching techniques are tried and tested to support your goals.
SAFE & PRIVATE
Unlike some of the big name tech/wellness sites, we'll never sell or share your data, information or any other personal details. Ew!
EVIDENCE-BASED
My training in both academic & investigative research methods means each offering is based in best practices and evidence-based science.
Even the "woo-woo" is grounded in proven effectiveness.
PERSONAL
This is not a "one size fits all" signature program. Care coaching meets you where you are and is customized to help you meet your goals.
I'd Love
To Work
With You.
