Her Story

Connie Dello Buono was born and raised in the Philippines in 1961, the eldest of six children from a family of modest means. It took her whole village of neighbors, family, and relatives to send her to college, where she completed her BS in Math with a minor in Chemistry. In her final year, she was teaching high school science and math. To help raise her five siblings, she moved abroad in 1992 to work as a technical writer at Acer in Taipei. She later studied midwifery and worked as a pharmacy technician instructor in Silicon Valley, building the foundation for her caregiving and health writing today.

Today Connie runs Motherhealth LLC, providing in-home senior care across the Bay Area, and offers retirement planning services through Club Althea. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience with families navigating cancer, stroke recovery, hospice care, childbirth, and retirement, she has written a growing collection of practical guides, including her Post Stroke Patient Handbook and Hospice Guide and Stories. Each one is grounded in real cases she's worked with directly.
