A dementia diagnosis affects the whole famiy - not just the person receiving it.
Families often tell me they’re given brochures and lists of “things to do”, but not the practical guidance that helps them feel confident in everyday life.
People living with dementia want to stay involved, feel intellectually engaged, and continue contributing to daily life in ways that feel meaningful, purposeful and useful.
These experiences led me to create The Connect Method™ — a practical, structured framework designed to help families strengthen understanding, build confidence, and stay connected while living with dementia.

Her work now focuses on translating evidence-informed principles — including Cognitive Stimulation Therapy — into clear, practical education that families can use at home.
Rather than delivering hands-on therapy, Amanda provides structured programs, tools and guidance that help families feel supported, capable and confident in everyday life.
Her approach is centred on helping people live well and stay meaningfully connected despite a dementia diagnosis.
