📘 Breathing Through Dementia
A Caregiver's Guide to Calm
If you're caring for someone living with dementia, this book was written for you.
There are days when caregiving feels overwhelming. You're exhausted, but your mind won't switch off. You're constantly making decisions, worrying about what might happen next, and wondering whether you're doing enough.
You might feel guilty for wanting time to yourself, frustrated by situations beyond your control, or heartbroken as you watch someone you love gradually change. And sometimes, you're simply too tired to explain any of it to someone who hasn't been there.
I understand because I've lived it.
After more than a decade of caring for my mom, I wrote Breathing Through Dementia to share the realities of this journey, including the difficult decisions, emotional exhaustion, unexpected moments of connection, and lessons I've learned along the way.
Part personal memoir and part practical guide, the book includes gentle, science-informed breathing practices, nervous system education, Breathe With Me instructional videos, and practical strategies to help you manage stress during the demands of caregiving.
Why I Wrote This Book
Caregiving can be incredibly isolating. Even when you're surrounded by people, you can feel completely alone in the responsibility of looking after someone you love.
I wanted to write the kind of book I wish I'd had when I first began caring for my mom. A book that acknowledges how difficult caregiving can be while offering practical tools to help you through those moments when everything feels like too much.
My hope is that you'll recognize some of your own experiences in these pages and find encouragement to look after yourself along the way.
You've spent so much time caring for someone else. It's important to remember that your well-being matters, too.
You deserve support. You deserve compassion. You deserve to breath easier.
