Longevity
Longevity and aging refer to the interdisciplinary field that focuses on understanding the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence the aging process and lifespan.
It encompasses research and practices aimed at extending the human lifespan, improving health and well-being in later life, and mitigating age-related diseases and decline. This field draws from various disciplines, including biology, genetics, medicine, public health, and social sciences, to develop interventions and strategies that promote healthy aging and longevity.
Not billable to insurance: coaching services are not medically necessary, are not ordered by physicians, do not require a plan of care or documentation of services, and therefore are not reimbursable by insurance.
These services are not intended to replace traditional rehabilitative occupational therapy services as prescribed by a physician.
More about Angela and her mission
Registered Occupational Therapist
I am so glad that you are here, and I hope we meet soon. Until then, let me tell you about myself. I have struggled over my years of practice to figure out how to meet a huge gap in healthcare. Realizing that what was most needed was more help, more bodies willing to provide care and support at home; I decided to teach what I know.
I have been told countless times, "No one has ever explained that to me before." Or, "That makes so much sense, but I never thought about it like that."
My specialty is inspiring people to elevate their living experience and harness the power of small change to make a significant impact on quality of life.
Through 25 years of practice, I have served people from birth to old age. Having been fortunate to work in families' homes, and also at the bedside in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, I fully understand the deficits of support for families, caregivers, and the aging population. This inspired me to create a different way of using my skills as an occupational therapist. Coaching caregivers to use therapeutic approaches that provide them a new perspective and lifestyle approach. Training them to
-
identify barriers to success
-
identify strengths and potential
-
use therapeutic handling and approaches
-
develop an inspired activity plan
I gained years of professional insight as I watched the success of families, spouses, caregivers, and determined individuals who followed through with lifestyle changes and mobility recommendations provided to them. This helped me realize that the power to truly change lives was not within the walls of a skilled nursing facility, traditional clinic, or basic home care services.
Life-changing power resides in the caregiver and a supportive environment.
I created a formula to train others to deliver therapeutic skills on a daily basis that will accumulate in power and effectiveness to impact all areas of life for both the caregiver and the patient.
When I work with you, my program will be curated to your specific needs and situation. Provided in-person and/or virtual interactions to guide you toward the freedom of inspired living. Training you to thrive.
As our current healthcare system faces a growing crisis to meet the needs of the aging population, combined with the draw back on insurance provisions for millions, the need for more skilled caregivers is needed. Coaching programs to serve and support individuals and families at home can open the doors to thriving in life versus just existing.
I am excited to teach you what I have learned over the last 26 years as an occupational therapist so that you can be empowered to thrive.
