MyStrides LLC started with a story much like yours. We aren’t just professionals; we are parents who have walked this path for decades.

Where We Started

When our daughter was 21 months old, a severe illness changed everything. She suffered multiple strokes and a brain injury. In that moment, our lives shifted. We had to learn how to navigate a new world of doctors, therapies, and advocacy. We didn’t just want her to "get by"—we wanted her to thrive. To make that happen, we dedicated our lives to learning everything we could about the developmental disability community.

Our Experience

We’ve spent years turning our personal journey into professional expertise to help families like yours:

Host Home Care: We have spent years welcoming individuals into our home, providing "person-centered" care that focuses on what the individual actually wants and needs.

Transition Coaching: Patience spent over eight years with Adams 12 Five Star Schools. She supported students to prepare for the big leap from the classroom to adult life; she coached and mentored the students at jobs sites and recreation.

Deep Caregiving: Both Jonnie and Patience have worked hand-in-hand to build relationships based on dignity, respect, and the understanding that every person deserves to be heard.

Where We Are Now

Today, our daughter is in her 30's. Not only is she doing well, but she has become an advocate herself, helping others in the disability community. She is living proof that with the right support, incredible things are possible.

At MyStrides, we combine our "lived experience" as parents with our professional skills. We are here to support you and your loved ones, find your own rhythm and reach your own goals—one stride at a time
