I'M OFFERING IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO
FREE, TRIED & TESTED COACHING TOOLS

MANAGE STRESS, ASK QUESTIONS, AND
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AT ANY STAGE OF CAREGIVING

Because You Didn't Expect
This Plot Twist...

From advice to connection, to middle of the night pep talks, 

Take Care Academy is your place for support and encouragement. 

I know what you are facing, because I have been there -- and back.

From One
Caregiver
to Another.

You are not alone.

As the creator of Take Care Academy, I'm on a mission to support caregivers in new and innovative ways.

 

We deserve a modern, open and honest conversation about what it really takes to serve as a family caregiver. The bandages and bruises. The worry and the joy. The wins and losses.

 

Over the past 15 years, I've been both patient and caregiver. ​My quiet expedition to regain my health allowed me to step into the role of caregiver when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Even so, I didn't truly know what to expect when I became a caregiver.

 

After successfully taking care of my mother through chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and subsequent regaining of her health, I knew I wanted to help others navigate personal challenges around their own well-being. ​I built a coaching practice with a global client list. I work with clients across the world from across every socioeconomic, class, gender, and age range.

 

Clients share that the tools in my sessions have helped them repair relationships, understand themselves better, reduce conflict, eliminate guilt, and allow them to move forward with happier, healthier lives. 

Take Care Academy brings this work to caregivers, and is the building block for caregivers, no matter where you are in the process -- seasoned veteran or new to the role. You'll find resources you didn't even know you needed - from healing modules, and courses to one-on-one coaching that help caregivers navigate their roles with more ease, compassion, and resilience.

Hello, Caregiver

I'M JESSICA

LIKE YOU,
I  SUDDENLY BECAME A CAREGIVER

 

I'm also a professional coach and the founder of Take Care Academy, a boutique coaching service created just for family caregivers. 

I help caregivers find balance, maximize resilience, and navigate the stress of caring for a loved one during a prolonged illness.

With years of experience as coach, caregiver, and patient, I understand the many aspects of caring for a loved one - and ourselves.

No-one expects to become a caregiver.

We all need help taking care.
 
You aren't alone.
You can find support, strategy and strength from our communities and classes.


We are here to take care of the caretakers.

Changing the conversation means changing how we  treat caregivers.
Claiming the moniker and sharing our pride and gratitude is one way to normalize and esteem the gig. 

So I designed an entire line of gifts & cards  especially with kick-@ss caregivers in mind.

Woman's Portrait

Why 
Care
Coaching?

Because there isn't a manual on how to cope with the caregiving  (but I'm writing one!)

Because the discourse around care is still in the shadows, making us more vulnerable.

Because most of the advice is from institutions written by the corporate communications team -- not carers or coaches.

Because it is the most human thing you'll ever experience, but NO ONE IS TALKING about the intense experience.

Because caregiver burnout is real, painful, and put carers (the majority whom are women) behind emotionally and economically.

Because I am a professional coach and can help change how we all care - for our patients, but most importantly ourselves. 

For too long, caregivers have been expected to give everything, but at the same time vanish. Vanish in to the background, in to the illness, the patient, the process of healing. And most of us aren't given any training, nor any tangible ways not to lose ourselves to the enormous task of caring for a loved one. 

Through coaching, classes and community we bring a new version of caregiving to the table. No matter where you are in the caregiving experience, we are here to help lighten the burden and offer a road-map for care, while a caregiver.

Caregivers deserve understanding, support and strategies as we embark on one of the hardest -- and most human -- experiences in life. In order to bring our best and preserve our own well being, we need a place for conversation, community and connection.

 

We All Feel
Unprepared
For Caregiving

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE.

I WOULD LOVE TO OFFER SUPPORT AND STRATEGIES
AS YOU TACKLE THE HARDEST -- AND MOST HUMAN --EXPERIENCE YOU'LL EVER FACE.
