You’re in the right place
If any of this sounds familiar…
Wherever You're Starting From
Where Are You Right Now?Â
Your decisions in writing
We talk through what matters, decide together, and get your Arizona documents right. Then we share them with your healthcare agent, family, and doctors.
Planning with a parent
You run the appointments and a sibling group chat that agrees on nothing. Nobody knows what Dad wants, in writing. Let's ask him while he can still answer.
Planning after a diagnosis
A diagnosis doesn't close the planning window. It starts the clock. We put their wishes in writing while the words are still theirs.
Three Steps
How We Work Together
Your decisions, in writing.
We talk through what matters, decide together, and complete your Arizona documents correctly.
Your people, ready.
Your healthcare agent and loved ones know the plan and where it lives. We help you register it so doctors can find it, too.
A plan that keeps up.
A diagnosis, a divorce, a new healthcare agent. We update it so it still speaks for you.

Built From the Inside Out
Why I Do This
GuideWyze was built from the conversations that never happened. The wishes nobody wrote down, the questions nobody asked until a hospital hallway forced them. I know those hallways. I've stood in them, holding decisions that should have been made years earlier, by someone who could no longer make them.Â
That's why this work is advance care planning first. Not paperwork for someday. It's a guided way to get every decision, every document, every wish in writing while the choice is still yours. I sit beside you through all of it. Human, unhurried, and nothing like a law or medical office.
Whether you're planning ahead while life is calm or facing a diagnosis that moved "someday" to now, GuideWyze exists so the people you love never have to guess.
Jennifer Michaels, CDP®
Founder, GuideWyze | Advance Care Planning Partner
I was drowning in the day-to-day and couldn't see what I was missing. I was afraid to even open the materials alone. Jennifer walked me through everything until I actually understood what I was looking at. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I could exhale.

Caring for her mother with dementia
After my father's stroke, my sister and I stopped speaking. Nobody knew what he wanted because nothing was written down. I found GuideWyze after the damage was done. I wish I'd found it before.

Navigating family decisions after a parent's stroke
I kept putting this off because nothing felt urgent yet. I'm in my thirties and healthy. This wasn't supposed to matter yet. I assumed I'd need an attorney just to do this. Jennifer explained everything in a way that actually made sense. I had no idea how much weight these decisions carry until someone took the time to explain it. I couldn't have done this alone.

Arizona Families
Before ALTCS. Before Assisted Living. The Plan.Â
Most families start asking about ALTCS after a fall, a diagnosis, or a scary night in the ER. By then, the question isn’t only how to pay for care. It’s who’s allowed to make decisions, and whether anyone knows what their person would want.
That’s my part. I help you choose who will speak for you, put it in your Arizona health care power of attorney and living will, and get copies to your family and doctors before a crisis makes those choices for you.
The ALTCS application, financial planning, and legal advice belong to specialists. When it’s time, I’ll point you to the right ones.

Caregiving
Can You Get Paid to Care for a Family Member in Arizona
Nobody tells you what caregiving costs until you're already paying it. In Arizona, there may be a way to get paid for it.
Advance Care Planning
What's the Difference Between an Advance Directive and a Living Will in Arizona?
Doctors use them interchangeably. So do attorneys. They're not the same thing, and the difference matters.

The Planning Window After a Dementia Diagnosis: What to Sign While You Still Can
There's a window after diagnosis when your person can still say what they want and sign their name to it. Don't let it close on you.
