“As someone who has spent the past 15+ years caring for my child with a rare, chronic, and progressive illness, I’m on a mission to help other devoted parents navigate the challenges of caregiving while maintaining their own health and wellbeing.” ~ Coach KD

As a compassionate coach and caregiver, KD understands the special challenges of caring for a chronically ill child and is deeply committed to supporting the wellbeing of primary caregivers.

KD’s early training at the Ohio State University was in Somatics and the Study of Human Movement. Through this program, she learned the benefits of practicing mindfulness, establishing good habits, reframing challenges, and developing a healthy mindset. Studying Somatics helped KD on her own journey as a primary caregiver and she is dedicated to helping parents as they support the wellbeing of their chronically ill child.

Caregiving can be hard for friends and family members to understand. KD’s oldest son described her passion for caregiver coaching perfectly when he said:  “You are the caring support you wish you had.” That perfectly sums up her purpose, to be the compassionate and helpful support parents and caregivers need.
