Sips & Smiles Holistic Health and Wellbeing Support is a heart-centered venture that strives to make a profound difference in the lives of individuals living with Dementia/Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. As an independent Dementia and Wellbeing Coach with a background in arts and social sciences, I am passionate about providing personalized support through creative inspiration and intellectual stimulation that helps in reducing anxiety and depression associated with dementia. My mission is to provide innovative, personalized activities that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of healthcare to embrace the soul and spirit of those I support. By combining my unique background in dual fields, I create an environment that is not only therapeutic but also enriching and joyful.

Holistic Approach

My holistic approach integrates different forms of arts and social outings to foster meaningful connections and stimulate cognitive function, ultimately creating a world where every moment spent with my clients is filled with smiles and companionship. I believe that every individual deserves to live a life filled with purpose and pleasure. By focusing on the strengths and abilities that remain, rather than the limitations imposed by their conditions, I empower my clients to find joy in the present moment. My ultimate vision is a world where those with Dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's are celebrated for their contributions and surrounded by a supportive community that cherishes their well-being.

What makes Sips & Smiles so distinctive...

Innovative Personalised Care

I carefully plan engaging and interactive activities during private home visits, care homes and outings to stimulate cognitive abilities and promote emotional well-being for my clients. The main focus of my tailored outings is to build social connections and promote two-way engagement between my clients and the members of community

These outings to nature spots, cafes and shops provide sensory stimulation, which is important for individuals living with dementia. Outings also offer opportunities for them to engage with the community and enjoy familiar settings that stir happy memories.

Stimulate Cognitive Abilities Through Crafts

Crafts not only allow individuals to express themselves creatively but also help hand-eye coordination, provide a sense of accomplishment and boost self-esteem. Moreover, the repetitive nature of some crafts can be soothing and therapeutic, potentially reducing agitation or restlessness.

Build Social Connections Through Outings

Improve Mental Wellbeing Through Companionship

Providing private home visits for companionship is essential as it offers one-on-one attention and support, and encourage communication through structured conversations that helps reducing feelings of isolation and improve the overall mental well-being.

Playing familiar vintage board games can trigger long-term memories, which can lead to moments of reminiscence and enjoyment. It also offers cognitive stimulation, physical excercise and social interaction, which are crucial for maintaining physical and mental health.

Active Mind And Body Through Games and Slow Sports

Sips & Smiles is more than just a service; it's a beacon of hope and a streak of joy for those navigating the complex world of neurodegenerative diseases. With every cup of tea shared, every brushstroke painted, and every note sung, I am making a tangible difference in the lives of my clients, one smile at a time.

To achieve this, I commit to:

Building strong relationships with clients and their families, ensuring open communication and collaboration.

Advocating for the rights and dignity of individuals with dementia, raising awareness and challenging societal stigmas.

Creating partnerships with local organisations to expand the range of services and opportunities available to my clients.

Measuring the impact of my work through clients' feedback and empirical assessments to refine and improve my programme.

Continuous learning and professional development to stay at the forefront of dementia care best practices.
