Aphasia is Complicated.  Let's Unlock Aphasia, Together

Many families are given basic information about aphasia in the early days of rehabilitation. But, looking back, were you prepared to live with aphasia?

Care partners of persons with aphasia want to know...

❓ What kind of aphasia is it

 ❓ What can they do well and what's hard for them  

❓ Why do their words sound right but don't make sense  

❓ Why can't they say what's on their mind  

❓ How can I help them talk better  

❓ I'm really struggling to understand them. Is there hope

This course is a no-brainer.  You will not find another course like this.  If you're motivated by any of the following:

1.

You want your life back, BADLY.

Connection and communication are missing.  You get so frustrated when the messages aren't connecting.  

2.

You're not afraid of putting in the work.

You are grasping at straws.  You don't know where to get the information and support you need to help your loved one with aphasia.  If you want quick information and strategies you can apply now, this is your course.

Embrace Your Path to Empowerment and Connection

While there's no magic solution to aphasia, understanding the fundamentals of language, cognition, and communication strategies can be a powerful tool in regaining control over your situation.

I know you're here seeking answers, strategies, and anything that might make life with aphasia a bit easier. And I want you to know, I hear you.

Starting a private practice for aphasia and chronic aphasia, creating educational content, and stepping into the public eye was something I could have never imagined. Yet, here I am.

I've listened intently, taken diligent notes, and even dreamed about how I can best support you—the individual living with aphasia—and the dedicated family and care partners who stand by you. I see you.

My goal is to challenge the traditional model of aphasia information dissemination. I aim to bring you content that not only supports your journey but also inspires you to take the next steps toward enhancing communication and deepening connections with your loved ones.
