Celebrate Aging?! That's an oxymoron to most people. Yet, Gail McConnon's approach to aging is that of a celebration. She is a Professional Aging Coach whose company, Celebrate Aging Ltd., helps the adult children of aging parents clear out the old baggage that interferes with their truly connecting with their parents at a time when those connections are most needed.

"Aging" and "Old" have long been considered negatives in our society. Despite some shifts in attitude, the second half of life is still believed by many to be a time of illness, slowing down, loss of independence and loss of value. These images are so strongly internalized in the American culture, that it's no wonder mid-life adults who are also adult children of aging parents feel a double whammy.

Gail understands what mid-life adults who have aging parents are going through, because she was one of them. Gail passed life's halfway point while serving as her mother's primary caregiver for the last 6 years of her mother's life. That experience inspired the work she does today.
