How Caregivers Can Live a Joyful and Vibrant Life While Assisting Aging Parents with guest Teresa Moerer

Are you a midlife woman caring for your aging parents? It’s a difficult journey for many. That’s why it’s important to start now to develop healthy lifestyle strategies that will help prepare you to assist your aging parents to thrive and be independent.

Teresa Moerer has a 35-year career as a physical therapist. During that time, she nurtured an interest in health and well-being. She was also caregiver to her aging parents. As a PT, she was always pushing the limits to be creative. As part of her practice, she fell in love with multidisciplinary group therapy and what it did for the patients. Teresa created Experi-Age, a system to build the body, brain, and spirit to the highest level. She wrote, “The Art of Assisting Aging Parents: Discover the Journey to Honor Your Parents, Create Treasured Memories, and Live Life to the Fullest,” and has an online course, BOSS Caregiver Blueprint.
