Dementia Doula Services
Dementia Doulas are innovative and non-clinical with a passion to help meet the unique needs of individuals and families affected by dementia. I blend my knowledge of clinical services with empathetic understanding, offering a tailored personal and holistic approach to dementia care.

You receive compassionate support as you navigate the complexities of advancing dementia, with help for families to prepare for upcoming challenges while encouraging you to embrace the present.
​
I offer a range of services, including holistic support, information, education, advocacy, and connections to relevant resources, guiding your family from diagnosis through to bereavement.
​
With both a Masters in Counselling Practice and a Diploma of Dementia Care, I am committed to providing comprehensive assistance to families and individuals living with dementia via:
-
Information and Education: Sharing valuable insights and knowledge about dementia to empower families for their unique dementia journey.
-
Advocacy: Standing up for the needs and rights of those impacted by dementia.
-
Liaison: Connecting families with essential supports, services and resources tailored to their situation.
-
Support: Providing emotional and practical support throughout the entire dementia journey, from pre-diagnosis to bereavement.

I acknowledge the Kaurna people as custodians of the lands and waters of the Adelaide region, recognising their enduring connection to the land I live and work in. I am inspired by their commitment to maintain a strong cultural, spiritual, physical and emotional connection with their land, waters and community. I pay respect to elders both past and present, and seek to walk the path of reconciliation for a shared and just future for all.​
