Wendy Hall
Managing Director
Wendy developed the Dementia Doula role and founded Dementia Doulas International after many years feeling frustrated that something was missing for those she served.
Following an extensive career as a Registered Nurse, Paramedic and Dementia Consultant, she knew it was time for tangible change that made a difference to those that needed it most.
Wendy is the author of 'Dementia Can’t Take Everything!', 'The Dementia Doula' and 'Beyond the Darkness of Dementia'.
Her passion for training and mentoring is fostered through her interactive approach to education provision by challenging mindsets and encouraging those supporting someone or working within the area of dementia to explore different ways of thinking. Her goal is to shift preconceived ideas about existing barriers to dementia care and influence the palliative care space ensuring no one goes it alone.
