About
End of life and elder care - with a unique focus on those experiencing dementia.
When faced with our own or a loved one’s dementia diagnosis, or approaching death, we often struggle to talk about what is happening and how we feel about it. Our feelings of uncertainty, and anticipating loss can add to our grief to make us feel overwhelmed and helpless. It doesn’t have to be like that. While they can often be bewildering and difficult times, they can also be times of strength, dignity and peace. I can support you and/or your family/significant others during these transitions. My role is not to tell anyone what to do but to support, guide and assist, and provide information and options, so choices that are right for the individual and those they care about are made. This approach will ensure everyone has the means within them and the support around them to confidently navigate these situations with strength, dignity and peace. When working as an enrolled nurse, I developed an interest and passion for aged care, particularly dementia and end of life care. About 6 years ago I undertook Doula training and have since undertaken further training and gained valuable experience that has culminated in Tranquil Options. I offer advocacy, support, kindness information, compassion, friendship and love.

Testimonials
Lyn did a really excellent and beautiful job with supporting my mother with YOD for 16 months. I would highly recommend her to anyone else, most particularly within her field of focus of dementia. Lyn is caring, compassionate and hard working, and brings a wealth of experience and attentiveness. Lyn is friendly and lovely to interact with.
End of life/younger onset dementia (YOD) support
/ Mark 2020When my elderly mother came out of hospital she was confused and frail. Lyn worked with the family to keep mum safe until her function improved. We found Lyn to be very reliable. She was very kind and caring. My mum enjoyed having Lyn around as they were able to chat. I would definitely re-employ her!
In home support - aged care
/ KG and family 5/11/21I worked alongside Lyn for six months. Our client lived with a disability and Younger Onset Dementia. Lyn was highly valued and experienced, with excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Lyn managed very well when our client experienced challenging behaviours, which required reassurance, distractions, and persuasive skills.
