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, consultant services, 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.
To give you an even better perspective on my services, click here to listen to my interview conducted by Close-Up Radio and Television.
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 as to resources available to help ease their load. As a senior and a member of the National Aging In Place Council (NAIPC), I fully know that a balanced and abundant aging-in-place strategy with the proper information tools is crucial.
