Tamar Meisel
When a loved one’s health is compromised, your role, that of the caregiver, is vital. The support you give is a source of stability and strength for your loved one, who is thrust by illness into a confusing medical maze. How can you best fill your role?
I coach caregivers just like you. In the process of our coaching, I will coach you in how to get support, find your voice, communicate with the medical team and your loved ones, explore possibilities on how to acquire the tools you need to help your loved one and to help yourself.
I am an MCI Mentor and I co-created and co-train the MCI Caregiver Coach Training Course. I combine over a decade of coaching experience, a background in Human Resources, life experiences as a parent, daughter, life-partner and business owner, with empathy, compassion, and practical tools to effectively work with individuals suffering from illness and those who care for them.
