My Story
My name is Krisie Barron LSW and I am a Caregiver Specialist. I have over twenty years of experience helping individuals and families walk their aging journey. I have found that the best gift we can give each other is our gift of experience. Through my education, experience with clients and my own personal experience as a Caregiver, I bring a unique, all encompassing view of caregiving and understand the trials and tribulations that come with the caregiving journey.
Caregiver support and education is my specialty. I have a passion for helping Caregivers and the people they support. The journey can be difficult, frustrating and lonely. With the right tools and support Caregivers can thrive instead of just survive. My unique personality and style of teaching engages audience members and gives them tangible tools to walk away with.
I am a Licensed Social Worker and am a Certified Caregiver Consultant who provides training and support to Professional and Family Caregivers. I have an extensive background in Nursing Home Care, Home and Community Based Services, Homecare and Hospice.
Our Journey
As a Social Worker I have walked with people through life's journey. Together we've navigated and manage illness, family situations, and caregiving hurdles. I read all the books and attended all the workshops. I thought I knew what people were going through and how to support them, but there were so many things I could not have known.
This journey has given me a unique perspective and enables me to be able to take my experiences as a Care Partner and Social Worker and use them to educate both professionals and families to gain a new perspective, an understanding of the emotions we all experience and how to better support ourselves and each other along the way.
When life takes a turn and leaves your life upside down, you want to know who is responsible, how can we fix it and you continuously ask yourself...Why is this happening to us, this is not the way it was supposed to be...?
We believe we were meant to share this story and experiences so we can help others enhance and share their stories.

What do we do...
By shifting our perspective on reality, we help professional and family care partners. We validate our shared understanding of the human experience and how we impact each other.
How do we do it...
Understanding why humans act and react the way they do helps us to connect, communicate and support each other. Through education, coaching and consulting with family and professional care partners we shift peoples view of each other, so we can be intentional in the way we extend support.
Why...
Because everything we do to with, and for, another person creates a human experience for all of us. We write a chapter in each others books, and how we show up for each other can be the difference between an amazing journey through illness, or we can leave behind nightmares that last a lifetime.
Proud to partner with...
