About Jennifer
Jennifer supports people caring for aging parents through the rollercoaster of caregiving. She provides both coaching and consulting on the emotional turmoil that happens during the caregiving experience.

She can help you create plans for your worries and provide a space for you to share your caregiving experience in a safe place. She helps with the strategy to make caregiving easier and the emotional support to have more peace of mind during the different stages of caregiving. She also helps former family caregivers find meaning and direction both personally and professionally.

Jennifer lived with my grandfather in the final 5 years of his life, and cared for her father through years of dialysis and a kidney transplant for over 5 years. She cared for my mother for many years with her mobility challenges, and more intensive care in the final year of her life while she lived with Jennifer.

Jennifer is familiar with aging in place and home renovation for bringing parents into your home. She is well-versed in caregiving while raising children, hospice and palliative care, veteran's issues, dialysis and transplant process, and breast cancer treatment.

About Denise
Denise supports individuals managing difficult life experiences with coaching, planning and training. Through her work, Denise helps clients find hope, possibilities and a path forward. Denise began helping individuals who care for a family member in 1990 and launched a business to help them in 1995. She created one of the first online caregiving communities in 1996 which she managed until its sale in 2020.

Denise now develops and delivers training programs for the workplace and for individuals who want to coach family caregivers. More than 400 individuals from eight different countries have enrolled in her training programs offered through her company, The Caregiving Years Training Academy. Her training programs have been approved to provide Continuing Education Units to health care professionals, including nurses, and human resource professionals.

Denise also hosts an online community, CaringOurWay.com, that supports individuals during and after their personal caregiving experience. Community members enjoy free workshops and special events like the Caregiving Listener Project and the 36-Hour Christmas Chat. Denise is the author of several books that provide insights, comfort and hope to those who care, including The Caregiving Guide, Your Go-To Reference and Companion During All Stages of Your Caregiving Experience, and After Caregiving Ends, A Guide to Beginning Again. Her free resource, A Workbook for Your Workplace Wellness, helps individuals who care, grieve and work.

Denise began helping her parents in 2004 after her father’s bladder cancer diagnosis. Her mom, who had Parkinson’s disease, died in August 2022, one year to the date after Denise’s brother died. Her father died in July 2023.

Next Avenue named Denise a 2017 Influencer in Aging, one of “50 advocates, researchers, thought leaders, innovators, writers and experts who continue to push beyond traditional boundaries and change our understanding of what it means to grow older.” Her insights have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, US News & World Report, USA Today, SmartMoney.com, Time magazine and Chicago Tribune.
