Hi, My Name is Laura!

I'm a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner with 25 years of experience specializing in geriatrics and elder care. My personal journey with dementia in my own family revealed significant gaps in care, education, and support for caregivers. This experience, combined with my professional expertise, inspired me to create programs that have helped thousands of families, just like yours, go from confused to confident caregivers.

Every family’s experience is unique, and my programs are focused on delivering personalized care to meet those specific needs.

Until there is a cure, I am committed to supporting caregivers on this challenging journey, offering guidance and expertise every step of the way.

You are not alone!

Love, Laura
