I teach in-home caregivers and clinicians practical applications to improve the healing of bedsores, reduce skin breakdown, and improve quality of live for the ones they care for.
Right now more and more families are taking on the responsibility of caring for their loved ones at home. With the right resources and tools, it is possible to improve healing bed sores, reduce skin breakdown and improve quality of life for both the caregiver and their loves one. With 15 years experience as a nurse, and a decade of educating nurses and physicians on wound prevention and treatment, Tifanie brings both compassion and straight-forward strategy to give in-home caregivers and clinicians what they need to feel confident in this important role. The goal is to reduce caregiver stress at home to better enjoy quality time with their loved ones and feel less overwhelmed.

Let’s face it, working in healthcare is getting more difficult. Our patients are sicker and staffing isn’t exactly ideal. And for fragile patients, efficient and effective wound care is necessary (and important). Clinical staff will learn simple tools to implement and evaluate interventions and treatment plans to provide the best evidence-based practice for wound care patients.

BSN, RN & Caregiver for her mother at home
I was able to attend Tifanie’s education at work on wound and ostomy care. She breaks down the information into simple steps on complicated topics. And she kept the class attention with added humor. Tifanie also helped me when I was caring for my mother’s skin at home, offering simple tricks all my siblings could understand.

Tifanie helped my family when our 90 year old mother was home and kept getting wounds on her skin. She was calm, professional and able to keep the information easy to understand. She would make our mom laugh when caring for her and made our life a lot easier.
I have had the pleasure of working with Tifanie on multiple occasions as an educator and colleague. She has always been able to assist our staff during difficult situations with complicated wounds. Her lectures provide helpful education to our nurses aides, nurses and residents to improve their confidence on wound and ostomy care.
