About Carecrows

I'm Shivani, a certified coach for women, and I founded Carecrows to support women living with ill health. I offer coaching and community events, to empower women to feel heard, supported and valued by everyone.

Growing up, I did not have appropriate support. Nor did I know anyone going through what I was experiencing. My chronic ill health, which I still live with, was less understood and frankly, dismissed.

I was always surrounded by people who loved me and wanted the best for me, yet I felt broken, exhausted and discouraged. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way and it is my mission that no woman feels alone, misunderstood or ignored while they are living so vulnerably with any illness.

I know how lonely being invisibly ill is, and no one should have to live with any illness on their own.

Following an enriching career in the education and cultural sectors, I took the brave and admittedly terrifying step of going solo with my own venture - Carecrows.

So, here I am, and I'm looking out for you.

Why 'Carecrows'?

Not to be confused with scarecrows, which are designed to discourage and unnerve, Carecrows is my definition of women who attract, encourage, support, and empower one another.

Crows are beautiful, intelligent, curious, opportunistic, social and creative creatures. They choose solitude or company, whichever suits in a given moment, but they need one another to live healthy and happy lives.

Crows have such presence and command. They simply captivate and enchant me.

I chose the term Carecrows to represent the women I have the privilege of meeting and knowing, that to me embody the essence of the stunning crow.
