OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST AND CULTIVATE LIFE DESIGNS FOUNDER
Hey there, I’m Heather!
I’m passionate about helping families navigate the challenges of aging and home modifications. With over a decade as a geriatric occupational therapist and certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, I have developed through experiences how to navigate this challenging time for families.
I know these challenges firsthand, having supported my own aging father with disabilities to continue to live independently.
As a part of the ‘sandwich generation,’ balancing care for parents and my children, I understand the importance of creating safe, supportive home environments.
I started this company to help aging loved ones stay in their homes comfortably and thrive, giving families the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re well cared for.
Through thoughtful home modifications, I’m committed to empowering seniors to age confidently in the place they love most: home.
