Who This Work Is For
Working with Amy may be a good fit if you are:
-
Caring for a loved one with dementia and feeling unsure how to respond to changes
-
Struggling to make sense of behaviors, safety concerns, or shifting abilities
-
Facing decisions about care, support, or next steps
-
Wanting guidance that is clear, compassionate, and grounded in medical understanding
-
Looking for support that respects both the caregiver and the person living with dementia
This work is designed for family caregivers who want to understand what is happening and move forward with greater confidence and steadiness.
Support is available nationwide and provided virtually.
Working with Amy offers families clear, steady support grounded in clinical understanding and deep respect for both the caregiver and the person living with dementia.
This work focuses on helping you understand what is happening, anticipate what is coming, and respond with clarity and confidence—without pressure or judgment.
What Working Together Focuses On
Working with Amy focuses on understanding, alignment, and thoughtful decision-making.
The goal is not quick fixes, but clarity about what is happening and how to respond.
Together, families work to:
-
Understand how dementia is affecting the brain and daily function
-
Recognize patterns in ability, behavior, and progression
-
Adjust expectations and care approaches as needs change
-
Communicate in ways that reduce conflict and preserve dignity
-
Navigate decisions with greater clarity and less fear
The goal is not to eliminate difficulty, but to reduce uncertainty and help caregiving feel more grounded and manageable.
How Families Engage
Every family’s situation is different, and support is shaped around what is most helpful for you.
Families may work with Amy through:
-
An initial consultation to clarify what is happening and identify priorities
-
Short-term guidance around a specific challenge or decision
-
Ongoing support as caregiving needs evolve over time
Details are discussed during an initial conversation so that support is aligned with your circumstances, goals, and level of need.
A Note About Learning Before One-on-one Support
Some caregivers prefer to begin by building understanding on their own before seeking personalized guidance.
Amy has created a self-paced course designed to help caregivers understand dementia, how it progresses, and how to respond with skill and compassion at each stage.
For some families, this is a helpful first step before deciding whether one-on-one support feels right.
Getting Started
If you would like to talk through your situation and explore whether working together feels like a good fit, you are welcome to schedule a free consultation.
This conversation is an opportunity to ask questions, gain clarity, and consider next steps—without pressure or obligation.
You do not need to have everything figured out to ask for support.

"Amy Shaw was the best thing to happen to our family on the dementia journey. Her understanding of dementia and ability to explain what is happening is beyond compare. I wished I had found Amy earlier in our journey."

What To Expect
Caregivers who work with Amy experience a profound shift:
From Overwhelmed → to Clear and Confident
From Confused → to Prepared for What’s Next
From Unprepared → to Equipped with Practical Strategies
From Exhausted and Burned Out → to Balanced and Resilient
From Being the ‘Bad Guy’ → to Being an Empowered Advocate
WHEN CAREGIVERS HAVE THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT, THEY STOP FEELING LOST AND START FEELING EMPOWERED.
Instead of reacting to challenges with stress and frustration, they confidently guide their loved one through the dementia journey. They replace guilt with peace of mind, confusion with clarity, and exhaustion with balance—allowing them to create a caregiving experience that honors both their loved one’s dignity and their own well-being.
If you're ready for a dementia journey characterized by love and connection, then working privately with Amy might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

You Don't Have to Do This Alone
Dementia caregiving can feel like a never-ending storm—filled with confusion, exhaustion, and guilt. Amy has seen firsthand how the right guidance can completely transform a caregiver’s experience.
Just recently, Amy worked with a daughter caring for both of her aging parents, each with dementia. At the start of their conversation, she was in tears, overwhelmed by the weight of caregiving. By the end of their consultation, she was smiling, laughing, and imagining something she hadn’t thought possible—a day with nothing on the calendar.
This is why Amy does what she does. Her framework and teachings don’t just help the person with dementia; they change the experience for the entire family.
If caregiving feels overwhelming, there’s a better way. With the right support, caregivers can replace stress with clarity, exhaustion with confidence, and even find moments of peace and joy again.
