And just what you need to build resilience and take on the day.
Hello, Caregiver
I'M JESSICA
Like you, I'm a caregiver.
I also
TAKE CARE OF CARETAKERS
as a
COACH FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS
I help caregivers find balance, maximize resilience, and navigate the stress of caring for a loved one during a prolonged illness.
You aren't alone.
We are here to take care of the carers.
NO ONE EXPECTS TO BECOME A CARETAKER
BUT READY OR NOT,
YOU SHOWED UP
Few people expect to become a caretaker for a family member, but millions rise to the challenge each day.
For me, the call was out of the blue, two weeks after my 40th birthday and two months before my mother was planning to retire.
We'd planned Paris and parties.
What happened was cancer and chemo.
​
I realized quickly that no one really teaches you how to be a caregiver.
So once treatment and recovery was over,
I CREATED TAKE CARE ACADEMY
​
TO TAKE CARE OF THE CARETAKERS
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."
I am a professional coach, here to cheer you on, share insights, support your
well-being, 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
through coaching, classes and community.

a modern guide to caregiving
​
A MODERN GUIDE TO CAREGIVING
We believe in caring for the caretaker.
Our guided journal ushers you through the season of care, from your care style to self-renewal, to preparing for the future. Each page is like you have a coach right beside you every step of the way.
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 ore vulnerable.
​
Because most of the advice is from institutions, 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.
Jessica is a brilliant coach whom I deeply value. Always inspirational. Always motivational. Always at my side to make me do my best in everything. She goes above and beyond and is truly committed as my coach in all areas of my life. So amazing and humbled to have her on my team.

I WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT YOU
AS YOU TACKLE THE HARDEST AND MOST HUMAN EXPERIENCE YOU'LL EVER FACE.
From One Caregiver to Another.
You are not alone.
I'm 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 a modern caretakers conversation. I am building a guided journal, healing modules, and courses to help caregivers navigate their new role with more ease, compassion, and resilience.
