Hi, I'm Terese,
I believe that meaningful connection, movement, and engagement are important ingredients for a fulfilling life at any age. Through Sarasota Shores Companion Care, I provide personalized support for older adults who wish to maintain their independence and continue enjoying an active lifestyle.
Before starting my companion care business, I spent many years helping others through wellness, personal training, and personal growth.
My understanding of caregiving is personal. I helped care for my mother when she had Alzheimer's, an experience that taught me firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and simply being there for someone.
My approach is rooted in kindness, respect, and honoring each person's unique interests, preferences, and life experiences.
My goal is simple: to help clients stay active, connected, and engaged in the activities that bring them joy while providing peace of mind for family members. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you in living life fully.

A Little More About Me
When I'm not working with clients, you'll often find me enjoying photography, swimming, pickleball, practicing yoga and meditation, exploring local community events, and spending time in nature. My background in wellness and personal growth has taught me the importance of connection, movement, and living with purpose; values that shape the care and support I provide.
