Welcome
The Family Healthcare Advocate
A step-by-step system for organizing, understanding, and speaking up for your loved one's care.
About Me
Hello,
I'm Shannon, a registered nurse with over 30 years inside the healthcare system (18 years at the bedside). I've walked families through some of their hardest moments, from birth to end of life, and I've seen what happens when information is scattered, conversations get avoided, or loved ones feel powerless in front of a medical team.
That's why I built the Family Healthcare Advocate: a practical, guided system that helps you organize what matters, know what to ask, and speak up with confidence when your loved one needs you most.
What ties all of my work together is simple:
I help people move from chaos to clarity.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me with a fresh coffee - journaling or planning, or traveling with family and friends, or walking my dog. These are the moments that remind me why preparation and clarity matter — they give us the freedom actually to enjoy life.
