A​ Support Group:

For Caregivers/Caretakers/Loved Ones of someone struggling with dementia

 

A non-judgmental group based on acceptance and compassion for the self, others, and the journey 

Watching a loved one with dementia can be exhausting, overwhelming, and extremely stressful. Whether you are taking care of a loved one, you visit one regularly, or you are about to embark on this journey you will need to take care of yourself as well.

 

When my mother began to show signs of dementia, I found myself in an unfamiliar place, searching for answers to so many questions. When the dementia progressed, I sought out support groups and found nothing that resonated with me.  

​

Today I am creating that support group for you:

​

Who is this group for?

​

• Do you take care of a loved one who no longer is able to take care of themself?

• Perhaps a spouse, parent, sibling or close friend is in an assisted living, memory care, or hospice situation?

• Perhaps you take care of others as a profession?

• Maybe you realize your loved one will need assistance soon.

 

What might I find in a group session? 

​

Connection with others: meet/share with others having similar thoughts, feelings, and challenges

​

Connect with Self: relax into the body-mind connection

​

• breathwork to calm the nervous system

• gentle therapeutic restorative poses to calm 

• imagery to experience creativity for the mind

• gentle movement to soothe, relax, let go

• quiet reflection and journaling

• meditation to quiet the mind and nervous system​

​

***Everything I will offer in a group session is an opportunity to try on and see if it fits with you, it’s always a suggestion and never an obligation.
