I provide compassionate, non-medical support to older adults, focusing on emotional well-being, gentle movement, and meaningful connection. My work includes one-on-one companionship, active listening, and support through life transitions such as grief, loss, and changing identities. I offer gentle stretching, breathwork, and chair-based movement to support mobility, balance, and confidence in aging bodies. I also facilitate small group conversations that encourage reflection, purpose, and dignity in later life. Drawing on decades of life experience, long-term sobriety, and a holistic approach to aging, I support seniors in remaining engaged, respected, and emotionally nourished.
When I wasn’t feeling well and going through a hard time, Melek was an incredible support to me. She helped with grocery shopping, cooking nourishing meals, and taking care of small daily tasks that felt overwhelming at the time. Beyond that, her calm, grounding presence made me feel safe and supported. She never pushed or tried to fix anything—she just helped me get through the days with more ease. I’m deeply grateful for her care and kindness. -Stephanie
