About Amanda

Neurological Physiotherapist

I make dementia easier to understand, so families can navigate the journey with greater confidence.

Understandably, noone wants to receive a dementia diagnosis. 
It can be shocking and leave people in despair.

“While we can't change the diagnosis, we can change how we live with it"

My goal is to make dementia easier to understand, so families feel more confident and better supported as they navigate life after diagnosis.

About Amanda

I'm a Neurological Physiotherapist and Dementia Consultant with over 25 years' experience supporting people living with neurological conditions.

Throughout my career, I saw many families leave appointments overwhelmed with information but unsure what it meant for everyday life. That's why I created Dementia ConnectEd®.

Everything I create is designed to make dementia easier to understand, so families feel more informed, confident and supported after diagnosis.
