I’m Allison O’Shea, Aging Strategist and founder of Openly Aging.
After spending over 20 years as an executive in senior living, I witnessed thousands of aging journeys — and one thing became clear: the people who stayed independent the longest were the ones who thought ahead. They didn’t wait for a health scare or family crisis to start asking the big questions.
They stayed curious.
They stayed open.
And most importantly — they stayed in control.
That’s what inspired me to create Openly Aging: a space where individuals can take a proactive, thoughtful approach to aging. Through my Aging Readiness with the Expert package, I work with healthy, independent adults who want to protect their lifestyle and make confident decisions before anything changes. We focus on lifestyle choices, clarity, and strategies to stay ahead of crisis — not react to one.
For families who are already in the midst of urgent decisions or complex dynamics, I also offer the Aging Strategy Intensive — a more hands-on approach to help you navigate immediate challenges and move forward with purpose.
Because whether you’re planning ahead or facing something now, you deserve guidance that puts dignity, independence, and clarity first.
Aging isn’t something to fix.
It’s something to lead — on your terms.
A 4-session, proactive strategy package for independent adults who want to stay ahead of aging by making confident lifestyle and support decisions before a crisis arises.
A focused, hands-on package for families navigating urgent or complex aging situations, designed to provide expert guidance, clarity, and a path forward when decisions can’t wait.
For years, I have witnessed firsthand the passion Allison has for helping older adults and their families. Her many years of experience have given her incredible knowledge as well as countless connections to resources! And even better, she truly cares about the people she is advocating for.
I was scheduled for therapy twice a week and my husband, who is 90 years old, was taking me. I wanted to find a way for him to not have to sit and wait two hours while I completed my therapy. Allison was able to guide me toward a transportation service specifically for seniors that has been wonderful! I would definitely recommend Allison to any of my friends that need to know the options out there.

Despite the fact that aging is inevitable, it’s a conversation that many people choose to avoid at all costs.
In a society that often glorifies youth and associates aging with decline and shame, it’s essential to challenge this narrative and recognize that by acknowledging...
