Balanced Caregiving ~ March Webinar

balanced caregiving

With author Ellie Atherton. Don’t let your energy well go dry! Many of us know how wonderful it feels to help others, and that deep satisfaction is what encourages us to continue giving. But if you are giving without refueling your own energy stores, this may leave you exhausted and limit your ability to be fully present. Ellie will help you understand how to give to others in a compassionate way while maintaining your own precious energy. Learn the art of balanced caregiving as Ellie shares nurturing practices for self-preservation that will ultimately help to enhance the quality of care you offer to others.

Ellie Atherton became a midwife to the dying in the early 90s while working as an herbalist. In 2003, she became an RN and chose hospice as her specialty. Ellie is the author of three books:

  • Stepping-Stones ~ Following a Pathway to the End of Life (2020)
  • More Stepping-Stones ~ Unique Experiences and Vital Lessons Along Life’s Pathway (2021)
  • The End-of-Life Pocket Guide ~ Honoring the Journey and Offering Care (2021)

Her books give readers a front-row seat with glimpses into beautiful conversations, raw emotions, and the unexpected lessons she learned from the only true experts on death—the dying. Visit Ellie’s website.
