Meet Kate
Creative work in Eldercare is what I believe I was uniquely created to do with my time and talent. I am part artist, part educator, and I find joy in accompanying others along this dementia journey.
One of my greatest joys in life is sharing to others about my journey with dementia and a family care partner and professional caregiver. It has been a privilege to stand on stage to educate, connect, and inspire and accompany others on their journey with dementia. For over 10 years I have spoken across North America in a variety of settings sharing in the story of dementia.
Have worked as volunteer, family member, and professional in eldercare, have studied the creative arts therapies, I understand how dynamic and complex dementia can be, and how it is up to us, those working in this profession to find clear, engaging, and relational ways of inspiring real encounters with dementia.
To encourage real encounters with dementia through beauty. To boldly face the suffering of this disease. To dare to live life fully alive with dementia.
Let’s Journey Together
Let’s share the stage together and bring about an engaging event that helps transform the way we think about dementia.
