The Full Life Memoir package is a chronological personal history of your life from your birth to the present derived from a series of interviews designed to draw out your unique story. The in-person interview setting offers you an effortless and enjoyable way to recollect memories from your life without trying to write it all down. I’ve designed the in-depth interview process to elicit a broad range of stories that we can organize into a first-person narrative of your life that will reflect your experiences as you became the person you are today. You and your family will achieve an understanding and appreciation of your life experience.

We touch on the subjects of your parents’ backgrounds, details of your birth, childhood memories, relationships with your siblings and relatives, and activities you enjoyed as a young person. You’ll recall your school days, stories of interactions with your friends, areas of study that interested you and your life lessons learned along the way. We will discuss your high school years, young adult activities, life choices after high school including your first forays into adult life.
