About Ann

Ann didn’t set out to write a book. She set out to show up for her mother. What followed was the most unexpected, demanding, and ultimately transformative journey of her life - one she navigated as a daughter, a caregiver, and a seasoned healthcare professional with over 30 years of experience rooted in Occupational Therapy and senior healthcare executive leadership. As a Life Coach & Catalyst working with young adults, Ann understands what it means to stand at life’s most profound crossroads. A former Canadian National Skating Champion, she brings the same discipline, heart, and resilience to caregiving that she once brought to her skating. Born in England, she has made her home in Canada for many years. She lives in Mississauga, Ontario, and believes no family should face this journey without a roadmap. Her book, What Are We Going To Do About Mum (Or Dad)? A Practical Roadmap For Families Caring For Aging Parents From The First Conversation To The Final Goodbye, combines her personal story with practical guidance for families caring for an aging parent - from Wills and Powers of Attorney and choosing between home, retirement living or long-term care, to navigating the medical system, palliative care and end-of-life decisions.
