It's not a Long Goodbye
It's Hello

"We speak about our coping with our dad's dementia in "before" and "after" The Dementia Doula language.

 

The weight that has been lifted and anxiety that has been alleviated through our sessions can't be overstated. We cannot recommend her enough and we are eternally grateful to The Dementia Doula for offering this resource."

Julia, PA

What I Do

I believe there is beauty in the human life cycle and dignity in the act of giving and receiving care. "The Dementia Doula" is a coaching service that provides practical advice, emotional support and guidance to caregivers and early stage memory patients.

 

My experience as a caregiver for my mother, who had Alzheimer's, inspired me to create a service that provides the support I wish I could have had: Real world, personalized help with the goal of making the dementia journey less overwhelming and more meaningful.

 

My mission is to help everyone feel the peace that comes with acceptance and the happiness that lies at the center of the experience. This is why I became a Dementia Doula. Because there is light in the midst of the darkness and I want to help you find it.
