Welcome from the women behind Conversations for Life™

The Conversations for Life™ approach and materials were born from the unique personal and professional experiences of two baby boomer women: Mary Matthiesen, a healthcare educator, coach and community facilitator with 20 years‘ experience leading staff and public awareness initiatives internationally and Nicola Rudge, an award-winning holistic designer, coach, and patient advocate.
