Caring For The Caregivers

Follow Body Aware Living on:

Whether you are a family caregiver, professional caregiver or working in the healing arts it can be challenging to balance your own needs while striving to fulfill responsibilities for the people you are nurturing.

Margo Rose has extensive experience working with families as they juggle care for senior parents, other family members (and often pets) in need. Feeling overwhelmed, guilty and/or resentful and confused about how to sustain one’s own wellness is common.

In these supportive sessions, Margo helps ask caregivers who are becoming drained and depleted “What makes this easier for me?” With empathy and focus on the well-being of her client, she helps strategize ways to stay balanced in one’s own self-care despite whatever challenges are present.

Caring For The Caregiver client comments:

"My mother’s voice on the phone finally changed when she noticed I was being calm and sticking to my boundaries. She is starting to understand there are other people she can and will ask for help. Despite my inner fears, it worked out okay, so thank you so much for helping me keep my (outer) boundaries firm; it worked!"
