Dementia Support and Education
Facing dementia alongside a loved one can be an overwhelming experience. You may feel lost and need help navigating the changes your loved one faces and finding out how to support them. I understand. Combining my expertise as an End-of-Life Doula and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), I offer compassionate support for individuals with dementia and their families. I can help you develop strategies to manage symptoms, create a safe and supportive environment, and navigate the healthcare system. For those with dementia, I can provide companionship, meaningful activities, and emotional support that fosters a sense of well-being. Together, we can create a plan that honors your loved one's wishes and empowers you to face this journey confidently.
