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.
$750 | Two private sessions | Two weeks apart
A personalized experience for independent adults and families who want clarity and confidence about the future — before a crisis happens.
$950 | One meeting + Four weeks of unlimited communication
Expert guidance and local support when aging 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.
