I’m Diane
I support connection in those affected by Dementia
From diagnosis through to end of life
For the person diagnosed and for those who love and care
I believe we should all feel safe,
seen and connected - our entire lives!
When spending one-to-one time, I draw on a variety of approaches:
-Snow Approach / Positive Approach to Care (PAC) skills® (from Teepa Snow)
-Namaste Care™
-Tom Kitwood’s Dementia Care Mapping™ observational skills (taught by Bradford University)
-Naomi Feil’s Validation Method
-Penny Gardner’s Contented Dementia method
Moments of shared joy
& connection are what I value most,
and what I strive for
As a PAC Certified and licensed Dementia Educator, I offer support and training for professionals, families, and friends from Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care®
I offer workshops for both groups and individuals, including Dementia Orientation; Workshops A, B and C; Getting to Know Dementia; PAC skills Make the Difference; and the Care Partner Support Series
