I make dementia easier for families.
From the first signs to the hardest moments.
You're in the right place
Dementia is hard. I won't pretend otherwise. But imagine having the right knowledge, strategies that actually work, and someone genuinely in your corner - so you know what to do and how to respond.
It can be so much easier.
I've helped more than 1,000 families
and I can help yours too.

Hi, I'm Melissa Levi
I've been on both sides of this table.
I'm a Clinical Psychologist. But before that, I was a granddaughter watching my grandfather change, and my family not knowing what to do, where to turn, or how to talk to each other without it turning into an argument.
That experience never left me. It's why I've spent almost two decades specialising in dementia and ageing, working with families in my private practice, and consulting with residential aged care homes.
I have helped more than 1,000 families navigate ageing, dementia and caregiving better.
What I hear, again and again: families feel completely alone in this. They can't get timely help. They're searching at midnight and finding generic information that doesn't speak to their situation. They need a real person, someone who genuinely understands, to say "here's what to do next."
That's why I built the Dementia Playbook. So that no family has to do this alone.

A community of families who understand:
You're not navigating this alone. Every week, families at every stage show up, share, and leave less alone than when they arrived
Clarity and a plan: Less fear. Less guessing. A clear picture of what's happening, what to do next, and what's coming so you can be ready for it.
Fewer regrets: The difficult conversations happen. The decisions get made together. You're able to show up for the good moments that are still there.

"The weekly Q&As have been a lifeline. Hearing Melissa answer questions, and realising other families are facing the same things, makes me feel less alone and more capable of handling what’s ahead. Thank you thank you!"

Let's make dementia & caregiving easier
“I didn’t realise how much I’d disappeared into caring for Mum until one day I couldn’t stop crying. Melissa helped me see that I could love her and still have a life. The strategies she shared, tiny shifts, really gave me breathing space. I’m showing up for Mum again, but from a steadier place.”

“I used to feel angry and helpless watching Dad change. We were so focused on what he couldn’t do anymore. Melissa showed us how to understand what was really happening in his brain and how to respond instead of react. The strategies were practical and easy to follow, and they brought real peace into our home.”

Read what families are saying...
“When we first noticed changes in Dad, we didn’t know where to start. Melissa’s videos and checklists helped us make sense of what was happening and talk as a family without it turning into an argument. We finally felt like we had a plan and hope.”
Hayley C, Sydney
“Trying to get Dad into care nearly broke me. Every phone call felt like hitting a wall, and I didn’t even know what questions to ask. After going through Melissa’s program, I finally understood how the system works and how to advocate for Dad. It’s still emotional, but it’s not the constant panic it used to be.”
Libby W, Melbourne
“When Mom’s dementia got harder.. the wandering, the aggression, our family was falling apart. Everyone had a different idea of what to do. Melissa helped us see the bigger picture and gave us tools we could all agree on. We stopped spinning in panic and started working together with empathy instead of fear.”
Sam T, New York
Feedback from families refer to experiences with my dementia and ageing programs and Q&A sessions, not to psychological or clinical services.
The thoughts that keep families up at 3am
If these sound like you, you're exactly who I built this for
"Am I doing the right thing for Mum?"
Constant second-guessing about decisions, care choices, and whether you're helping or making things worse
"How much worse is this going to get?"
Anxiety about the future, decline, and what’s coming next
"I can’t do this forever, but I feel so guilty for even thinking that"
Torn between love, duty, and exhaustion
"Why won’t she just let me help her?"
Frustration when Mum refuses help, denies problems, or becomes suspicious or angry
"I feel like I’m losing her piece by piece."
Grief over the changes in her personality, memory, and connection, even while she’s still alive

Common questions
Is this for me/my family?
Are you navigating the ageing, dementia or caregiving journey with Mum, Dad or an ageing loved one? And do you want to understand more, make the journey a bit easier, feel less alone, and provide the best possible care?
If yes - this is absolutely for you!
Don't we need to see you in person?
This is the most common question I get, and the answer is no.
❌ Unfortunately, it's difficult finding affordable and available
professional help (I often have 6+ months waiting lists).
✔️ You can access my workshops and strategies 24/7
✔️ With every package, you get access to my weekly Q&A sessions, where I can answer your family's questions.
✔️ All of this for less than the cost of one face to face session
Is this just for Australians?
No. Ageing, dementia & caregiving is a universal experience.
We all share the same questions, fears and challenges.
The knowledge, strategies and resources in this program have been used by families around the world. Just note that being Australian, I use 'Mum' instead of 'Mom', 'Ageing' instead of 'Aging'.
What if this isn't right for me?
I'm confident that I can help you and your family. However, if my programs aren't the right solution for you, please contact me within 7 days for a full refund.
What access will I have to Melissa?
If you’re looking for me, this is where you’ll find me: Pre-recorded workshops, live webinars and weekly Q&A sessions. You can also connect with me, my team and other families through our private, member-only community; your extended village (coming soon).
