Mum wants to stay at home, but I'm scared it's not safe...

Is your family thinking...
 

  • “She left the stove on again — what if something happens?”

  • “How much risk is too much risk?”

  • “She’s forgetting her meds, but gets angry when I remind her.”

  • “What do I say without starting a fight?”

  • “How do I know when it’s no longer safe for her to live alone?”

  • “How do I step in without taking over?”

  • “She keeps saying, ‘I’m fine.’ But she’s not.”


I can help your family with these questions and more...


You are not alone

Over the past decade I’ve helped over 1,000 families, and I'm here to help your family too.

 

More about me

You're in the right place

Transform your family's dementia journey–starting today

When families first come to me, they often feel:

Overwhelmed, worried, and exhausted

Unsure what’s normal ageing and what’s dementia

Guilty and second-guessing every decision

Alone, with no idea where to turn

Struggling to be on the same page as your siblings

😧

😧

😧

😧

😧

And my program helps families:

Feel calmer, even on the hardest days​​

Know exactly what to do next​​​

Make tough moments easier with proven strategies

Have a clear plan so the future feels less scary​

Care for Mum and yourself – without the guilt

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

 

Having said all of that, if you still would like to see me 1:1,

please have a look here and get in touch.

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 Talking Ageing isn't the right solution for you, please contact me.

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).​
