I help care partners move from confusion and burnout to clarity and confidence. I provide practical dementia care education that empowers families and professionals to navigate dementia challenges with empathy, skill, and resilience. Whether you're a family caregiver, a professional, or a community organization, I offer tailored guidance and compassionate support to help you thrive, not just survive, on the dementia care journey. You don't have to walk this road alone.
I am a Positive Approach to Care® Certified Consultant, Educator, and Trainer, as well as a board-certified Health and Wellness Coach and geriatric Physical Therapist.
All PAC Dementia Certifications are based on Teepa Snow's approach and care partnering techniques. Each certification tier includes instruction in PAC philosophy, essential dementia knowledge, and basic care partnering skills, such as Positive Physical Approach™ and Hand-under-Hand® support.
What I Offer:
Practical skills to simplify day-to-day care and reduce stress
Education on dementia-related brain changes and how they affect behavior
Strategies to manage challenging situations with compassion and effectiveness
Tools to increase meaningful interactions and reduce conflict
Support to build confidence in your caregiving role
Why It Matters:
Caring for someone living with dementia is not just a medical task; it's a human journey. Many families feel lost, even when they follow medical advice, because the day-to-day realities require a different kind of understanding. I help bridge that gap.
You deserve to feel empowered, not frantic.
You deserve to experience less stress and more balance.
You deserve to enjoy more meaningful moments with the person you support.
