HomeLife Design™ Counseling
Mary Jo offers counseling for life design and long-term care planning through her HomeLife Design™ program powered by The Six Pillars of Aging Wellbeing™ framework.
Mary Jo’s mother showed her the path of faith and joy as she journeyed on her path to the end of her life. This profound experience led Mary Jo to launch her private practice 12 years ago as a Gerontologist, Aging Life Care Professional® (CMC), Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS), Certified Senior Advisor (CSA), and a corporate consultant. As the owner of Fireside Group, LLC, she is recognized nationally as an author, speaker, and transformational care management and life planning expert. She has written two books, lead workshops, engages groups in Master Classes and now through adventure tours, and has guided many through private assessment and counseling on their path to finding a quality of longevity at every phase and stage in their second half of life.
