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
