Start Planning the
Future Today

Plan ahead while Mum or Dad can still guide the decisions.

I've helped more than 1,000 families plan for the future and understand what matters most – and I can help your family too.

Maybe you’ve been thinking:​

  • “Should we talk about what Mum would want in the future?”

  • “What happens down the track if things change?”

  • “Should we get Power of Attorney organised now?”

  • “Are we supposed to plan for aged care already?”

  • “What if something happens before we’ve talked about it?”

  • “How do we make sure we’re respecting Mum’s wishes?”

 

Planning ahead can feel uncomfortable. But planning early keeps your family aligned, and focused on what matters most.

Right now, Mum or Dad may still have capacity to:

  • Share their wishes

  • Make legal decisions

  • Talk about quality of life

  • Help guide future choices

This is often the best time to:

  • Reduce future conflict

  • Prevent regret

  • Make decisions calmly, not in crisis

Many families find that planning early, while Mum or Dad can still share their preferences, makes future decisions much less stressful.

How I’ll help you plan ahead:

Clear, practical guidance for the important conversations

✔️ How to talk about future care, without causing panic

✔️ Legal and financial planning basics to understand early

✔️ How to clarify what really matters to Mum or Dad

✔️ Aligning siblings before conflict begins

✔️ Questions to ask professionals

✔️ Feel more confident about what’s next

+ Weekly Q&A support, answering your family's questions

“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.”

"What if bringing this up upsets or scares Mum?"

"I'm confused about the legal decisions"

“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.”

Feedback from families refer to experiences with my dementia and ageing programs and Q&A sessions, not to psychological or clinical services.

Clinical Psychologist | Ageing & Dementia Specialist

Over the past decade, I’ve supported many families in planning ahead — while Mum or Dad still has the capacity to be involved in these decisions.

Early conversations can help protect Mum’s voice, reduce conflict, and avoid rushed decisions later.

And I’m here to help you have them in ways that feel calm, respectful and supportive.

You're not expected to navigate dementia alone

🌟 Join My Weekly Q&A Sessions​ 🎉

Starting this week:

  • Ask questions about your Mum or Dad

  • Get support with difficult conversations

  • Understand what to do next when things change

  • Check whether something is normal — or not

  • Learn from other families facing similar challenges

Many families say this becomes the most valuable part of the program — knowing they can ask questions as new situations arise.

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).​
