Meaningful and creative connections for older adults.
Hi, I’m Char.
After 25 years as a Business and Life Coach, I am stepping into a new chapter that feels like a true homecoming—one devoted to enriching the lives of older adults through creativity, curiosity, and heartfelt human connection. This work is rooted in a simple belief: that joy, learning, and meaningful relationships are not bound by age, but deepen with it.
Many people in their later years long for companionship, creative expression, and a welcoming place to share their stories and wisdom—yet these opportunities often fade just when they are needed most.
At its heart, Curious Companions restores conversation, companionship, creativity, and genuine presence to an older adult’s day in thoughtful, nourishing ways. Think of it as trusted friends who arrive with curiosity and compassion—ready to listen, laugh, remember, imagine, play, and celebrate each person exactly as they are.
Our Sessions:
Curious Companion Live Group Sessions invite you into a warm, welcoming circle where curiosity is honored and every voice truly matters. During a customized session created in partnership with the sponsoring company, small groups of older adults come together in a local setting to explore new ideas, spark imagination, and rediscover the quiet thrill of learning something new—side by side with others who value kindness, depth, and shared experiences. These group sessions are about more than creativity; they are about nourishing your curiosity, meaningful connections, new friendships, and the soul-lifting joy of learning something new.
Curious Companion Online Sessions offer the same heartfelt experience from the comfort of home. Using simple Zoom technology, you can join a guided creative group session without traveling—making connection, inspiration, and companionship easily accessible wherever you are. Learn how to make ordinary days extraordinary by using tools like mindfulness and habit stacking to bring more joy to everyday life.
One-on-One Individual Curious Companion visits bring this experience directly to you. In these personal visits to your home, a Curious Companion Guide creates space for conversation, reflection, and gentle exploration—introducing ideas for new learning while allowing your own curiosity, stories, and wisdom to flourish on your terms.
If your heart is longing for meaningful connection, gentle creativity, and a place where you are welcomed just as you are, we warmly invite you to join Curious Companions and discover what can unfold when curiosity is shared and joy is gently renewed.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Select the Contact Me page or button below, fill in your information, prompting a 10-minute call from me.
Tell me which session you’re interested in, and we will discuss how that option works.
2. On that call, I can answer questions you may have.
3. Next, purchase the offering that interests you.
4. When I see your payment, I will call and set up all the details for you.
I am committed to providing dignity, joy, and genuine human connection during every session.
“The gift of growing older is realizing how much wisdom and love you carry. The gift of companionship is having someone see it.”

GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY
Bringing a little joy to those in need.
Our give-back program supports St. Vincent DePaul in our local community. They have served the poor and homeless for over 200 years. They foster hope by providing spiritual and material assistance.
I selected this organization because my Mother partnered with the local St. Vincent DePaul for 35 years to help those in need find housing, clothing, and food. I donate money from my work that enables me to help their cause.
