Feeling Overwhelmed?
Do you feel overwhelmed by the added time, energy and responsibility of taking care of not only your own life, but that of one or both of your parents?
Do you feel you are getting pulled in multiple directions, while fighting feelings of guilt and resentment?
Do you feel isolated and that no one understands what you are going through?
Do you feel your health and well-being are being affected by the added stress?
I get it. I’ve been there…I am still there. In 2006 I began taking on more and more of my parent’s care and estate, which included managing multiple investment properties they owned. I have been through a lot, and have learned a lot.
I have experienced what it is like to be overwhelmed. I have experienced feelings of isolation and my health and well-being have been challenged at times throughout the years.
Taking care of my parents hasn’t gotten easier as they have gotten older, quite to the contrary. My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2006…my father’s sight and hearing have been in significant decline over the years and more recently has become bed-bound. However, I have learned how to create balance within myself so that I can be of service to my parents, while feeling whole and fulfilled within myself and my life.
My years of yoga training in both Iyengar and Kundalini, the skills I learned as a result of my Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology, and my years of experience in managing my parent’s care have provided me with a foundation for living that has proved successful and which you access through this “8 week Life Skills Yoga program”.
I invite you to please schedule a phone call with me to find out if we are a fit to work together. Just fill out the “application here”. After completing the application you will be directed to a site where you can schedule a call in which we can get to know each other.
I look forward to meeting you.

The Life Skills Yoga Program was designed to help those adults who may feel overwhelmed as they care for their elderly parents.
Do any one of these issues sound familiar?
Issue #1
Guilt/Resentment
Because we love our parents, sometimes feelings of guilt and/or resentment can occur. We have experienced a lifetime of being the child in the parent/child relationship. Now we may find ourselves parenting our parents and this can come with a jumble of emotions. Learn tools that can help bring a new perspective and an opportunity for creating a new, healthier relationship based on these shifts.
Problem #2
Feeling Exhausted/Lack of Time
As we take on new tasks for our parents, it is very easy to forget ourselves. And it’s not just our parents but our partners, friends, children who have become used to a certain degree of attention and we may not want to disappoint. Feelings of exhaustion and lack of time in the day to get it all done are bearing down and creating stress and burnout. Learn the various ways I have increased my energy, vitality and resilience, without which I could not maintain my health and well-being for myself and for those who count on me on a daily basis.
Problem #3
Isolated/Overwhelmed
As adults with full lives: careers, families, social lives, the added time and energy required to take on the care of our parents tips us easily into the realm of overwhelm. It doesn’t mean the situations that can create overwhelm go away, but you can learn to address these in ways that feel more supportive.
