I’m a certified life coach and full-time caregiver for my husband, Ben, who is living at home with Lewy Body Dementia. I share our journey together on social media: @dementiacoachdiane to help other caregivers as they navigate through the daily challenges of taking care of a loved one at home. You can find me on Instagram, FB, YouTube and TikTok offering tips on dementia care and self care. As a coach, I know how important it is to address caregiver needs on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, and I offer my personal solutions as I walk a similar path every day, caring for my beloved husband.
