Expert Consulting Solutions for Patient Advocacy

Personalized Advocacy for Us (PAUS) was founded on a simple but powerful belief: equity in healthcare begins with understanding.

Our mission is to close the gaps that leave patients confused, overwhelmed, or unheard—by helping them understand their options and empowering them to make informed decisions about their care.

We do not replace medical providers or offer medical advice. Instead, we work alongside patients and their care teams, translating complex information into clear, meaningful knowledge. We support patients in asking informed questions, understanding recommendations, and advocating for themselves with confidence—while always respecting the expertise of their providers.

Navigating the U.S. healthcare system is complex for everyone involved. When patients understand the why behind their care, conversations become stronger, trust deepens, and outcomes improve.

Let us add value where it matters most—at the intersection of patient understanding and provider expertise.

What clients are saying

Licensed Professional Counselor

“I have Kai to be an invaluable part of my support team. She is helpful, effective and warm. She follows up with me and checks in. She is a wonderful coach and advocate.”

Oncology Nurse, Retired

“Kai turns complex cancer science into clear, empowering guidance—helping patients advocate for the care that’s right for them.”


Kendall

Labor Union Leader/Social and Human Rights Activist/Social Worker

“When I was diagnosed, I wasn’t sure what I needed to know. There was so much information and digesting it was difficult at best. I shared my test results and general information with Kai, and she helped me understand what they meant. Her shared experience also gave me some context, even though I knew from the start that everyone’s journey is different. I found it comforting to have a point of reference and expectation for the process. As I have progressed through treatment, my comfort with asking for clarification and seeking alternative methods has increased exponentially. I am confident that my voice is heard and my concerns strongly factor in the decision- making process. I believe that the questions Kai asked me pushed me to better advocate for myself and positively influenced my healthcare experience.”
