Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Though I haven't yet worked with any Alzheimers clients, I have worked with some Parkinson's subjects as well as other neurological problems. Hypnosis has been shown to be effective in helping with Parkinson's tremors as well as other aspects of the condition including depression. I was asked if I could help someone suffering from a condition called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, which is related to ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease. It is a condition with no cure or treatment. When I first met the client, he had been deteriorating for 12 years and was expected to die soon. He was confined to a wheelchair and could no longer speak. He drooled constantly and though wearing a bib, already in the morning was soaked with saliva. He suffered from tremors and got locked in repetitive movements several times a day, had trouble sleeping and couldn't get motivated to do his physical therapy, the only thing his doctors could offer him. In our first session, we were able to eliminate the tremors and repetitive movements, get him to sleep more soundly, and motivate him to do his PT. After the second session he was able to speak for the first time in ears and he got out of his wheelchair and walked. After 5 sessions you couldn't even tel he was sick and now, 6 years later, he's till walking the dog, gardening, hiking his favorite trails.

Daniela Tullio
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
Alzheimers can be very confusing and scary for many individuals and their loved ones. I have had first hand experience in working in assisted living communities where I provided cognitive therapeutic techniques and interventions to those struggling with Alzheimers. I utilize various cognitive interventions to help activate and stimulate the brain of those struggling with Alzheimers and to slow the effects or progression of Alzheimers on the brain.
I also have experience in working closely with family members and loved ones of those struggling with Alzheimers. I understand the obstacles, distress and pain this can sometimes have on those closest to the individual with Alzheimers. Let me help you in addressing and processing your feelings while also learning healthy ways to cope with the changes your loved one is going through. Give me a call today for more information on how I can help.
