Jo-Anne Ross is Helping Dementia Caregivers to Stay Healthy and Give from an Overflowing Cup

By: Authority Press Wire

La Salle, Manitoba (Canada) – In the seven week workshop “Navigating the Dementia Journey: Wellness Strategies for Families and Caregivers” Jo-Anne Ross, founder of Savour the Moment in Serenity, helps families and caregivers who feel overwhelmed and stressed, anxious, confused and afraid of the unknown. As you cannot pour from an empty cup, Jo-Anne is convinced that dementia family members and caregivers and their families need to take care of their own well-being. Only then will they be able to support their loved ones effectively in living with dignity and enjoying life until the last breath. Jo-Anne’s workshop is designed to help them to achieve that by implementing her ME FIRST methodology. “Only when your own cup is overflowing are you able to share serve with compassion and strength others”, is Jo-Anne’s motto. But her offers and plans go much farther: Her mission is nothing less than to change the landscape of care since “every life is meant to be lived with dignity, respect, joy, fun, community, and quality until the very last breath.”

After witnessing dementia stealing her own mother’s vibrancy, quality of life and very essence bit by bit over several years, Jo-Anne not only resolved to help dementia caregivers and families with information, tools, techniques and coaching to provide care, compassion and love from a place of health and wellness. As the true “Dementia with Dignity” champion, she has also designed the first franchisable Dementia Village and Wellness Community in her mother’s honour: the “Savour the Moment Healthy Living Complex and Chez Juliette Dementia Village” and is currently looking for funding as well as partnerships with municipalities and governing bodies. “My mom’s journey with dementia is what has lit a fire under me”, Jo-Anne describes her motivation. “No one should have to suffer the way my mom did, losing her quality of life.”

But Jo-Anne’s offers are not only meant for individuals. Just like her Dementia Village is integrated in a larger Wellness Community concept, Jo-Anne also offers to integrate her framework in corporate health and wellness programs. As dementia is on the rise in the Western world, corporations will also be affected by this development.

“The burden on employee health and lost productivity is substantial when you consider that many of the family members and caregivers are employees as well”, Jo-Anne states. The seven-week workshop “Navigating the Dementia Journey: Wellness Strategies for Families and Caregivers” addresses the modules of Jo-Anne’s ME FIRST methodology:

  1. M – Mind Power
  2. E – Emotional Intelligence
  3. F – Flow and Ebb
  4. I – Intuition and Instincts
  5. R – Restricting Beliefs
  6. S – Spirituality
  7. T – Total Package, addressing Mind and Body connection

Apart from her workshop, Jo-Anne is also available for speaking engagements and is currently preparing several books on the topic. She has also published chapters and poems in internationally best-selling book collaborations with Soulful Valley Publishing and Les Brown.

Jo-Anne Ross, founder of Savour the Moment in Serenity, is an international speaker, coach, teacher, and 2 X international best-selling author with expertise in business and wellness. A Chartered Professional Accountant and Certified Internal Auditor, she combines professional skills with certifications as a Meditation Tutor, Yoga Instructor, and training in EFT, Emotional Intelligence, and the mind-body connection. Currently, she is studying the science of menopause with Dr. Stacy T. Sims. Jo-Anne’s passion was ignited by her nine months as sole caregiver to her mother with early-stage dementia. This inspired her to design the first franchisable Dementia Village and Wellness Community and to start writing the book Dementia: A Survival Guide for Families and Caregivers. Known as the “Dementia with Dignity Champion,” she supports caregivers through her ME FIRST system and offers coaching and programs on limiting beliefs, emotions, trauma, yoga philosophy, meditation, and transformation.

Her goal is to guide her clients back to the wholeness they were born with. Her true passion lies in creating fun, engaging, and nurturing environments that facilitate growth, self-love, and transformation.
