Live Well with Dementia

Supporting people and families to strengthen confidence, connection, and cognitive well-being through evidence-based guidance.

A dementia diagnosis can feel overwhelming — not only for the person, but also for family and friends who care deeply for them.   

​With so many emotions, appointments, and decisions to manage, alongside everyday life, it’s easy to feel uncertain or stretched thin.  

We’re here to help!

We help you make sense of what dementia actually means, how it affects the brain and body, and what you can do to hold onto your strengths and keep living well. 

Through clear, practical guidance, we help you move forward with clarity and calm - drawing on extensive experience in rehabilitation, cognitive stimulation, and navigating the Australian healthcare system.  You’ll learn how to use family or paid support strategically to benefit your loved one and protect your own wellbeing.

From here, we show you how to bring evidence-based cognitive stimulation into everyday life in ways that build skills, confidence, and connection — with research showing it can slow cognitive decline.
