Nisá Advisors

Helping people, organizations, and innovators navigate the experience of illness. 

What is Nisá?

Guiding patients and their families through an illness requires an understanding of the ways that illness changes lives and how people cope with those changes. It requires expertise.

Whether working with individuals and families facing a serious illness, healthcare organizations seeking a more holistic approach, or innovators designing the future of care, we provide that expertise. Rooted in the practice of palliative care and clinical ethics, Nisá brings a steady, thoughtful approach to moments of decision, design, and change.

Services

1

Individuals & Family

Having a serious illness can often feel like being lost in the wilderness without guideposts or direction. I help individuals and family members navigate the complexity and strangeness of a serious illness. 

2

Healthcare Organizations

Compassionate serious illness care means providing for patients when things don't go as planned. I partner with healthcare organizations to strengthen their care and advocacy for patients with serious illness. 

3

Innovators

I work with health technology and innovation companies to ensure that digital tools, products, and systems align with patient experience. Let’s ensure that products support, rather than replace, the human dimensions of care.
