Elena Prendergast DNP, APRN
Founder & Quality of Life Navigator at Tree of Life Health Consultant
I have been on both sides of caregiving—professionally as a palliative care nurse practitioner and personally as a family caregiver. I founded Tree of Life Health Consultant to walk alongside families and professionals with education, advocacy, and compassionate support so no one has to navigate serious illness alone.

Virtual Reality Wellness PackagesWhat Others Are Saying
"Elena offered professional and empathetic guidance to a family member of a client who was failing physically and needed to transition to palliative care.
After working with Elena, the family member could see the situation more clearly and realistically and chose the path of least resistance and comfort for their loved one."
Amy Hane, Owner, Long Term Liaisons
"There was a period when a dear friend of mine was very ill and did not believe he had long to live. We contacted several Hospice agencies but quickly realized the process was emotional, confusing, and overwhelming.
I called Elena and sought her advice on making this decision. She also gave us a list of questions to ask, which gave us clarity and control over the decision-making process. The paperwork is in place, but fortunately, he has improved and does not need to implement the process."
Bonita Carter, RN, Family Friend
"Elena was a tremendous resource to my family as we navigated through the decline and death of my grandmother.
She made us a priority from the very first time I called her, and her assistance was invaluable during such a trying time. I could not be more grateful for her kindness, compassion, and knowledge base."
Katie Tracey, Family Member
"Elena is passionate about helping others understand, educate, and prepare for the inevitable. I have lost my entire family, except for one sibling, in the last five years. Because all of them lived in Colorado, and I lived in Georgia, many times I felt guilty that I could not be more helpful. Elena helped me through that guilt. Elena shared several documents which helped me understand they dying process. It helped me prepare."
Lucy Gonzales-Romero, LMT, Family Member
"I didn't know what to expect with my sister dying. Elena helped me through it, she explained each step of what to expect. I don't believe I would have made it through this difficult time without her help. She told me the questions I needed to ask. She was a big help and a blessing."
Denise Widener, Family Member
"Elena was an absolute lifesaver for my father as he and I navigated the landscape and accompanying roller coaster of emotions of a complex healthcare situation. Although I am a physician, I was still a daughter in need of support and guidance as I helped my father through that phase of his life. I am grateful and relieved to have had her walk that journey with us."
