Why I Became an Aging Life Care Professional: Wendy Nathan

Wendy Aging Life Care Month

Play Podcast:

We have a lot to celebrate this month. In addition to May being National Aging Life Care Month and Older Adults Month, our colleague Wendy Nathan celebrates ten years with Aging Wisdom!

If you are familiar with our team, you know our paths to Aging Life Care are varied, but we share a mutual mission: To inspire hope through creative solutions so our clients live well, care well, and age well.

As Wendy shares in this episode of Wisdom Wednesday, she has had a rich career, starting as a hospital respiratory therapist and in research. She then went back to school to become a massage therapist and worked predominantly with older adults.

Her work with older adults prompted a fascination with how different people age, their attitudes toward aging,  and how massage and the power of touch allowed her clients to live more full lives.

This eventually led to pursing a Certificate in Gerontology through the University of Washington Professional & Continuing Education program and working at Aging Wisdom, first as a companion (what is now known as our Creative Engagement  program) and eventually as a Certified Care Manager.
