About Amanda

Neurological Physiotherapist

Helping families understand dementia and take positive action after diagnosis

Why I Created Dementia ConnectEd®

After more than 25 years working in neurological rehabilitation and dementia care, I’ve seen the difference that understanding and practical guidance can make.

​

I met many families who had been given plenty of information, but were still unsure what it meant for everyday life or what they could actually do to help.

​

I created Dementia ConnectEd® to bridge that gap - bringing together my experience in neurological rehabilitation and dementia care with practical, simple, evidence-informed guidance that families can use to support daily life.

​

Everything I create is designed to help people understand what’s changing, build on strengths and feel more confident about what they can do next.
