How we Work Together
My Portfolio of Services
My PHILOSOPHY
Dare to Dream with Dementia
There is great sorrow on the dementia journey. This I will never deny. But what if we allowed ourselves to dream and to live in beauty and joy. Joy is not the opposite of sorrow. They are woven together. Beauty is not the opposite of darkness. It is the light that brings depth and fullness to life. My work is a living invitation to live in the balance of that deep sorrow and darkness, finding the moments of possibility.
