About Us
Hello Everyone!
I'm Joan, the Owner/Content Creator of Balanced Abundant Living
As a Certified Senior Advisor® and a former librarian/research specialist and a former family caregiver, I have a passion for finding and providing fact-based, reputable information resources! 
I created Balanced Abundant Living towards the end of 2020 as an online portal for reputable, vetted information resources, e-products, and speaking engagements that I offer to enhance the quality of life of family caregivers, their loved ones, and seniors who want to age in place successfully.

Knowledge is truly empowering! I fully understand the sometimes overwhelming responsibilities of the family caregiver. “Caregiver Burnout” is a day-to-day reality for many who care for their loved ones. Many caregivers are at a loss regarding resources available to help ease their load. As a senior and a member of the National Aging In Place Council (NAIPC), I know a balanced and abundant aging-in-place strategy with the proper information tools is crucial.
