GUIDANCE, ENCOURAGEMENT
AND INSPIRATION
Book Dana for Speaking
At Just in Time Adaptive Wellness, we know that every family’s journey is filled with challenges, resilience, and determination. Dana Spradling’s story is not unique—but it is deeply personal. It’s a story not only about her son Taylor’s health and daily life but also about the battles fought behind the scenes as a mother and advocate.
When Taylor suffered a sudden cardiac arrest that led to an anoxic brain injury, Dana found herself in an entirely new role. She had to navigate the legal, medical, and emotional complexities of becoming his guardian, personal caregiver, and voice—all while ensuring he had access to the
best possible care.
Through her speaking engagements, Dana shares her experiences
to educate and inspire families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
Dana speaks at hospitals, rehabilitation centers, conferences, community and advocacy events, offering real-life insights and practical advice for families facing life-changing transitions.
