What People Are Saying

"Your meditation recordings were remarkable. I thought the verbal pacing of the one for people living with memory and cognitive challenges was very appropriate for possible delays in verbal processing. The prosody of the verbal style also invokes a soothing emotional response even if the person's verbal processing is poor. I loved the emotional support offered for the care-givers for their own well-being, laced with encouragement to see their role and their work as vital, important and influential in the day-to-day sense of well-being experienced by their loved one for whom they are responsible."
—Barbara Welsh-Osga, PhD, Clinical Psychologist

"This program is outstanding because it uniquely addresses both the relationship between the elder and caregiver, as well as roles and feelings of both. Caregivers experience a "paradigm shift" in the way they view their mission to help provide quality care. The program helps those in need feel supported and calm. It has helped with my mother?s care in her home, and will also be beneficial for institutional trainings."
—Mary Kay Riley, President, Creative Work/Life Strategies
