How I Can Help
I provide professional healthcare surrogacy, healthcare proxy services, and independent patient advocacy for individuals and families navigating important healthcare decisions.

As a professional healthcare surrogate, I serve as a designated healthcare decision-making representative when legally authorized, advocating for the individual's documented wishes, values, and preferences. I also provide advance care planning support and coordinate with attorneys regarding healthcare surrogate designations and medical powers of attorney.

With extensive experience in emergency medicine, diagnostic imaging, and healthcare administration, I bring a practical understanding of healthcare systems, medical terminology, and communication between patients and providers.

My advocacy services include in-person medical appointment accompaniment, hospital and emergency department advocacy, surgical consultation preparation, specialist coordination, diagnostic imaging navigation, medical records organization, and care transitions.

I provide in-person patient advocacy throughout Manatee and Sarasota Counties, Florida, including Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and Sarasota. Virtual healthcare navigation and advocacy services are also available for individuals and families outside my immediate service area.

Whether someone is preparing for a complex medical decision, coordinating care across multiple specialists, or seeking a professional healthcare surrogate, my focus is ensuring their wishes are respected, their concerns are heard, and their healthcare decisions remain centered on what matters most to them.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My passion for patient advocacy comes from both my years working in healthcare and my personal experience trying to find the right support for my own grandmother. I understand firsthand how overwhelming navigating the healthcare system can be, even for someone with a medical background. That experience inspired me to create Peace of Mind Care Visits—to provide the guidance, advocacy, and personal connection I wished had been easier to find for my own family.
