I've been in the room with people losing their memory.
That's why I do this work.
For years I worked directly with people in cognitive decline — as a caregiver, as someone who brought personalized music to people with dementia and watched what it did for them. I watched music reach places nothing else could reach. I watched people come back to themselves, if only for a few minutes. And I kept asking why — and what else might be possible.
That's what led me to the Bredesen ReCODE Protocol, and through the full training and certification program. It gave me a rigorous framework for what I'd seen intuitively: that cognitive decline has addressable causes, and that the right intervention at the right time can genuinely reverse it.
What I bring to this work isn't just a protocol. It's a decade of being present with people in one of the most frightening passages of a human life. I know what it feels like to sit with someone who is frightened about what's happening to their mind — and I know how to hold that alongside the science.
Over the years I've also developed a practice I've adapted and sometimes bring to sessions — a quiet, music-guided experience that begins in stillness and, when it feels right, moves into gentle movement. For people living with cognitive change, and for the families alongside them, daily life carries a particular weight. This is simply a space to set that down for a little while. Music, calm, presence. Nothing is required.
I work with a small number of clients in Marin, Napa, and Sonoma counties — in your home, with your family, with your doctor. The work is intensive and personal by design.
