"A catalyst for dementia friendly communities..."

“I just wanted to call and tell you how the seeds you planted 6 years ago are coming to fruition. You stepped up through the Dementia Friendly Communities project and rallied everyone around to support those with memory loss. We took our tasks back to our corners and did our part of the work. Now there are Memory Cafes in Okotoks and Diamond Valley, Memory Kits at the Okotoks Library, and Soup for the Soul workshops at the United Church. I need you to know what a catalyst you were for our community and our seniors. Mom just passed, but every time I visited her, I remembered your words to ‘live in the moment’ with her. Wise words indeed. Thank you for everything you have done to support dementia caregivers and those with memory problems, and are doing in the Foothills (Alberta) to support our loved ones with memory loss.”

"Less reacting, more confidence..."

"A catalyst for dementia friendly communities..."

"Working with Jennifer had our family focused on how we could best support dad instead of being stuck reacting in frustration to the behaviors that showed up with memory loss. It’s tough to accept the decline, but having help to negotiate the health system was invaluable for our mental health, and gave us confidence in the strategies we could use to help him, and mom.

"Walk a mile in their shoes..."

"Strong advocate for those impacted by dementia"

“The opportunity to experience the Aging Simulation was very impactful. Seeing how those who are aging may experience dementia and alzheimers and memory issues has really changed the way I interact with others. A real eye-opener.”

Testimonials

"You don't have to be a senior..."

"I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in their health and wellbeing"

"I definitely benefited from the Brain Boost classes. I thought I was knowledgeable in nutrition, exercise, and sleep and relaxation techniques, but this series of classes definitely boosted my knowledge in these areas, and taught me about detoxifying the body, about which I knew nothing. I enjoyed the camaraderie of the others in the class. Jennifer was so generous in sharing her extensive knowledge, welcomed our questions in class and encouraged us to contact her between classes if we had questions or concerns. I highly recommend this class, and you don’t have to be a senior to benefit from it. "

"I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in their health and wellbeing"

"I learned many beneficial things from the Brain Boost course including different ways of preventing cognitive decline. It is very encouraging to know that there are simple and practical changes we can make rather than just accepting that the inevitable may or will happen due to genetic or other factors.

Learning about the major causes of leaky brain such as blood sugar imbalances, high toxic load, and nutritional deficiencies was very helpful. Learning about the effects of LED exposure was also informative for myself. This course also touched on great ideas for exercise and sleep and relaxation techniques.

Jennifer was very thorough and has a nice way of presenting the information which she is very passionate about.

I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in their health and well being."

"Brain and Body Works Together..."

"The Brain Boost course taught me that your brain and body need to work together, how inflammation and blood sugars play a vital role and need to be well managed. Throughout the course I learned how making changes with exercise, proper diet and detoxing can help improve both body and brain function. I enjoyed the course - really well presented and would definitely recommend it to anyone."
