I am a Positive Approach to Care® (PAC™) Certified Dementia Educator. The foundation of all PAC Dementia Certifications is 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. The Dementia Educator Certification allows me to educate others using specific PAC training resources.

As a Positive Approach to Care® Certified Consultant and Educator, as well as a board-certified Health and Wellness Coach and geriatric Physical Therapist, I specialize in helping care partners transition from confusion and burnout to clarity and confidence. I provide practical dementia care education that empowers families and professionals to navigate the challenges of dementia with empathy, skill, and resilience.

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 despite following 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.

You Don't Have to Walk This Road Alone

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.
