Compassionate Caregiving Coaching
Empowered Advocacy for Your Elderly Loved One
As a Caregiver….
- Do you worry about keeping your loved one safe?
- Are you unsure of where to find the information you need to advocate effectively for your loved one?
- Are the demands on your time increasing your stress and keeping you from enjoying life?
Navigating the healthcare and long-term care systems with confidence, compassion, and clarity can be achieved when you have trusted sources to rely upon.
Every older adult deserves dignity, respect, and real choices.

Why Choose Compassionate Caregiving Coaching with Dr. Mara?
Through deeply personal experiences advocating for my mom, I witnessed firsthand the importance of families having the knowledge, confidence, and support to challenge ageism in the healthcare system and ensure their loved ones’ voices are heard.
My mom faced numerous ageist attitudes from the medical community. My family and I frequently experienced gaslighting, even to the point of being pressured to move Mom into hospice care, which she didn’t want or need.
Yet, I stood firm, listened to my mother’s wishes, and fought for her right to receive the care she truly desired. My advocacy continued when she was returned to the nursing home where my mom resided, ensuring that she had two more years of living life with joy and purpose.
My experiences on my caregiving journey fuel my commitment to guide and empower other families facing similar challenges.
My passion and now expanded purpose in life is to encourage everyone to have a passion for life, regardless of their age – even while living in long-term facilities. My mission is rooted in real-life experience, where I gained the knowledge and wisdom to navigate our increasingly ageist healthcare system.
