Experience that makes room for understanding.
M23 Consulting begins with a personal understanding of caregiving and the questions families face.
Makeba Pease
Founder · M23 Consulting
Caregiving became deeply personal for Makeba as she supported her mother through dementia. In a May 2024 ABC7 feature, she described balancing work and family with increasing care responsibilities, and ultimately stepping away from her career.
Her account also described the importance of finding support through the California Department of Aging. That lived experience informs M23’s focus on helping families feel heard and better prepared for their next conversation.
