Brush Development creates environments where people thrive.
Let’s face it, we are all aging.
There is nothing we can do to stop the progression of time, but we can change how we choose to spend our time, what we think about, what we eat, and how we interact with others. By making well-informed, healthy choices, we can embrace older age with enthusiasm, and we can choose to experience each day from a place of gratitude and curiosity. Life is meant to be enjoyed.
My mission is to help others to shift their views about older adults and people living with dementia. By focusing on our abilities, rather than our deficits, we can provide opportunities for older people to engage in purposeful activities that result in a rich life full of meaning.
My work is informed and influenced by applied research in the area of cognition and the physical environment. Each and every strategy we teach is selected because it represents proven practices that afford the best transformation possible. I am a leader in dementia-friendly signage design, wayfinding, and environmental modifications that support aging in place.
I am a Fulbright Specialist, researcher, award-winning dementia care author and healthcare consultant. In addition to running my own practice, I served as Program Director, Montessori Education for Dementia St. Nicholas Montessori College.
I am an avid traveler, baker, outdoor enthusiast, and certified karate instructor who loves living in the moment.
I believe that we all have the power to cultivate an amazing physical, social, spiritual, and emotional environment.
