Life brings many changes, and some of the hardest ones involve health challenges, chronic illness, and death. At Compassion Crossing, I believe no one should face life’s most difficult moments without compassionate support. I serve as your healthcare journey project manager—coordinating doctors, attending appointments, managing medications, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. I provide individuals, families, and healthcare organizations with personalized end-of-life care, illness navigation, and grief support. My goal is to help transform fear and worry into peace and confidence while improving your quality of life and, when possible, helping extend life through proper care coordination.
What Is a Life Transition Coach?
A life transition coach serves as your healthcare journey project manager—coordinating all the moving parts of your care, attending appointments with you, managing medications safely, and making sure every step of your treatment plan is completed properly. This hands-on approach helps improve quality of life and may even help extend life by preventing medication errors and ensuring you receive the full benefit of all treatments.
I do not replace your doctors, nurses, or hospice team. Instead, I partner with them to coordinate your care, catch problems early, and make sure you and your family feel informed, supported, and never alone.
I help you move through transitions with:
- Active coordination of care between all your healthcare providers
- Attend medical appointments and hospital procedures to ensure nothing gets missed
- Comprehensive medication management to catch dangerous drug interactions
- Clear understanding of your situation and options
- Practical tools to manage challenges and changes
- Emotional support during difficult decisions
- Peace of mind knowing an experienced healthcare project manager is protecting you
