Dementia Coach Diane
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.

Special Populations Advisor - Dementia
As a Dementia Advisor with a background in Speech Pathology, I specialize in supporting adults impacted by progressive neurological disorders. I provide education, guidance, and personalized strategies to caregivers of people living with dementia, helping them manage behavioral, emotional, and cognitive challenges. I collaborate with Care Guides and Service Coordinators to ensure families receive the resources and long-term planning support they need. I’m married with two young boys, and we love traveling, trying new restaurants, and exploring new activities. From a young age, I’ve felt drawn to caring for others, especially those who are vulnerable. I believe life’s challenges remind us to offer kindness and support to those around us—you never know when you might need a helping hand yourself.
