ABOUT ROSALYN
Rosalyn is the founder of Navigating Our Caregiving Seas and the creator of the Stand Up 4 ME framework, a practical approach that supports individuals in adapting, recalibrating, and realigning in demanding environments. With nearly three decades of lived experience as a spousal caregiver following traumatic brain injury, she brings a depth of insight that connects real life demands with sustainable ways of showing up and performing over time.
In addition to her speaking and training work, Rosalyn contributes in a community advisory board capacity, bringing lived experience into conversations that shape programs and services. She holds a Professional Teaching Certificate and multiple certifications through Certified Flourishing Coaching, including workplace, leadership, wellness, business, sales, relationship, and creativity coaching. With a strong foundation in physical literacy, recreation, and aquatics, along with a 3rd Degree in Pakua Tai Chi, her work reflects a holistic approach that connects body awareness with resilience and performance.
She believes strong systems are built by listening to those living within them and is committed to ensuring lived experience is meaningfully included in decision making spaces.
I’ve had the privilege of listening to Rosalyn speak, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Rosalyn’s speaking style is like a balm for your soul – she has the unique gift of being able to discuss difficult topics in such a calm, encouraging manner that you leave feeling better about your circumstances, no matter what they might be. When she speaks, the compassion and wisdom that comes from experiencing tough circumstances pours out of her. When she listens, she does so with grace and a sincere desire to understand. When she responds, she does so with thoughtful intelligence, kindness, and warmth.
If you have a chance to work with Rosalyn in any endeavor, do not pass up that opportunity. You and your team or organization will be better for having interacted with her.

As the owner of Rec Therapy Today, I have heard Rosalyn speak/present on several occasions. Rosalyn tailors her presentations to her audience (in my case Recreation therapists) and draws you in with her lived experience storytelling. Even on a virtual platform, she works to engage and interact with her audience.
