About Lori & CPR
Lori understands how putting the needs of others before your own can lead to long term mental and physical challenges. In 2001 Lori made the life-changing decision to move home to care for both of her parents when her mother survived a stroke and could no longer care for her diabetic father who had begun dialysis. As their primary caregiver she found it difficult to practice regular self-care. CPR was born out of a desire to support caregivers through the difficulty of caring for a loved one, however Lori came to understand that the importance of practicing mindful self-care is beneficial to not only caregivers but to everyone. So she has created a series of classes for anyone seeking to create a practice of consistant self-care.
Midway through caring for her parents she discovered the benefits of therapeutic journal writing and eventually became a Certified Journal to the Self® therapeutic writing instructor.
The knowledge gained from being a caregiver for eight years and working at National Stroke Association educated her about the needs of caregivers and the importance of self-care. Lori regularly works with many organizations like Colorado Area Agency on Aging, Colorado Latino Age Wave and Easter Seals, Colorado Respite Coalition, offering workshops about practical ways to incorporate regular self-care into even the busiest lifestyle. Lori has also published many articles for American Heart and Stroke Association which can be found under the name Lori Ramos Cavallo as well as Lemasters.

Testimonials
Joan VandeBrake
I have found your classes invaluable to my adventure with Mom's dementia. You have provided a plethora of information. When starting this journey, I was confused and wondering if I could do all this. Your classes have helped me discover the many aspects of caregiving and how to manage my mom and myself.
Thanks again for everything, Lori. Hope to see your soon.
