“I stoke wonder and cultivate connection with elders experiencing dementia and other brain changes through the portals of beauty, creativity and nature.”

“When someone deeply listens to you, it is like holding out a dented cup you’ve had since childhood and watching it fill up with cold, fresh water. When it balances on top of the brim, you are understood. When it overflows and touches your skin, you are loved.” ~ Poet John Fox

“I love listening. I love the stories and experiences people share, and how they share them. When I’m with a client, whether it’s music, art, a book excerpt, a walk, it all has the potential to inspire wonderful conversations. Listening helps restore the integrity and depth of being an elder. I enjoy noticing what’s coming in and what makes a connection.”
