'By providing consistent and reliable support that empowers true choice and control for the caregivers and the person, I can now walk alongside families to ensure their loved ones are treated with love, respect and care, up until the end. Understanding that supporting a good death is both an honour and a privilege. I have thoroughly enjoyed this program and feel that I'm on a cusp of an amazing journey. Thank you Wendy and Nina for an awesome 4 days.'

'Wendy and Nina were both professional but also very relatable, calm and made the program very interesting. A wealth of knowledge wrapped up in each session. I strongly encourage anyone who wants to work as a Dementia Doula or even just have more knowledge in the area of dementia to book in and just do it.'

'As a nurse that has worked in gerontology for over a decade, I felt I knew a lot about dementia. While that statement isn't incorrect, this course looked at the people that are impacted, loved ones especially, and how to protect them and the relationships with the person living with dementia. It truly moved the focus from fixing clinical issues and looking at it as a holistic process that needs support and guidance. A much more accurate way of addressing dementia and its impact on people.'

'The Dementia Doula course far exceeded my expectations. It has been life-changing for me personally and professionally. It has made it possible for me to see that I can work comfortably in the Dementia Doula space and that ongoing support is always available from the wider Dementia Doula community. I've learnt that it's possible to provide support to families without trying to make them fit into a one-size-fits-all box. There is a way to slow things down and provide compassionate care that isn't just a tick-box exercise.'

'The 4 day program was the best and most informative, thought provoking course I've ever been on. This course has totally changed my life and not just in my care role. I am more patient and tolerant with everyone as the thing that sticks in my mind from the course is seeing things from being ‘in the other persons shoes’.
