It is my greatest privilege to work with my clients as they teach me more than any text book or curricula could do. Clients have described me as compassionate, creative and innovative. People with dementia enjoy spending time with me and I with them. Family members and front line workers describe me as having a calming influence on those I have the honour to work with.
