Empowering Parent Caregivers

Kristina Smith
Parent Caregiver Life Coach
Peer Support Specialist

Personalized support, rooted in lived experience.

Caring for a child with disabilities or complex medical needs can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. At Kindred Joy Coaching, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

As a fellow parent caregiver, I offer personalized coaching grounded in lived experience. Together, we create space for your emotional well-being while also tackling the practical challenges of care coordination and resource navigation.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or simply need someone who gets it, I’m here to walk beside you—with compassion, clarity, and nonjudgmental support.

There’s no one path—but together, we’ll find what balance, happiness, and fulfillment look like for your family.

Support that meets your family where you are

Discovering What Matters Most

Your child’s diagnosis brings many new challenges—medical decisions, therapies, and navigating complex systems—all while caring for your family.

Amidst it all, it’s important to create space for what matters most to you.

With coaching grounded in shared experience, I’ll walk alongside you to find clarity, ease overwhelm, and reimagine a life that supports both your child’s needs and your well-being.

Simplifying the Details

Caring for a child with disabilities or complex medical needs means juggling appointments, medications, therapies, and more—often with little guidance. It can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to manage it all on your own.

Together, we’ll simplify the chaos. I’ll help you build personalized tools—like a care calendar and caregiver’s guide—that fit your family’s real life and make everything easier to track and share.

With a clear system in place, you’ll feel more organized, more confident, and better equipped to focus on what matters most: caring for your child and yourself.

Finding the Right Support

There are so many programs out there—government services, non-profits, school supports—but figuring out what’s available (and how to actually access it) can feel like a full-time job.

I’ll help you cut through the noise. Together, we’ll identify what matters most to your family, prioritize your needs, and create a clear, step-by-step plan for getting connected to the resources that can truly make a difference.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
