“I have patience and understanding since going through this program. In the past, I would lose my temper. My kids even notice how much I’ve changed. I’m able to respond differently to challenging situations and we don’t argue as much.”​

“I joined this program early because I saw what other caregivers were experiencing and I wanted to avoid a crisis. Learning through the Live Q & A’s has helped me feel prepared and confident in my ability to handle challenges.”

“I’m usually skeptical about any online program, but everything in the program is so practical and helpful. It can be applied the day you get it. having access to others going through it is also amazing. I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t join.”

When my mom was diagnosed with dementia, I felt completely alone. As an only child, all the decisions, emotions, and day-to-day care fell on my shoulders. I didn’t know what to expect, and I didn’t know who to turn to. The way the disease progressed—sometimes slowly, sometimes suddenly—left me feeling helpless and frustrated.

Then I found Dr. Natali and the Careblazers community, and everything started to shift. Through the Care Collective, I finally found people who understood what I was going through. I didn’t have to explain or justify my emotions. I could show up to the support group and share exactly what was happening with my mom, and people would get it. There was such comfort in being heard without judgment, in getting real advice from others who had been in similar shoes.

I’m so grateful for this program. It reminded me that I wasn’t alone—and that even during the hardest moments, there was support, understanding, and hope.

“Being somewhat strong willed and independent like my Dementia Mom, I was a RELUCTANT Caregiver.   I made caregiving harder until I paid attention to Dr. Natali and her course teachings.
I will to this day (3y later) … talking about the THOUGHT ‘formula’.   I hated that thing because I struggled with my thoughts.  Eventually I cracked open my coconut head.
When that happened, I was able to communicate differently with my Mom.   We saw each other better and actually restored a very troubled 58y relationship.   The last 1.5y of her life was spent in quality time and better understanding.  I credit the program for helping me see my Mom and better see myself.
 
Bonus:  I have made life long friends who see me ~ when my own family/close friends couldn’t.”

“To be honest I will be eternally grateful to You Dr Natali and all the care blazers for providing me with understanding, information, support and love as I have been navigating this journey with my husband.

I am never alone. Support is constantly available with Careblazers. I feel like I have a huge family of people out there who are ready to help and share stories, successes, tips and ideas and to seek support from me. I have learned so much and I am the best Caregiver my husband deserves. Through lessons, videos, weekly groups and specialist guests Question and Answers sessions I am not scared anymore that I won’t be able to do this, through Careblazers I know I can
The membership fee is the best money I have ever spent!
You won’t regret Joining the Careblazers family!”

Barbara Careblazer Testimonial and Success Story

“When you’re looking at the cost of memory care- you’re talking 7-8 thousand dollars a month. The Care Course is nothing compared to that and if it helps him to stay at home longer, me able to contend with him longer, then my goodness, it’s a win-win situation. I’m saving money in the long run with this course. For me, it was a no-brainer. I can do this in the comfort of my own home. I’m not having to pay extra for people to come in. He is happier. I am happier. It just makes life easier.”

“I felt like I was drowning and this was my life saver. There’s this network of support. We have each other to talk to. It’s made all the difference for me. If I have something I’m really concerned about I know I can send it to Dr. Natali for help. But I’m going to learn no matter who is asking what question. I can handle all the crises. It’s given me the knowledge and foundation that I need to be able to help my mom. Had I not found this program, I don’t know if I would’ve survived.”

Amanda - Dementia Careblazer

“I initially didn’t want to pay money to join a program because I’ve worked in the mental health field. I kind of felt like I knew all the answers. I was really resisting it. But I knew things were only going to get worse and I was feeling really down. I felt like my life was on hold, but your course has given me my life back and reminded me to look after myself and keep planning for the future. The support groups have given me hope. The live Q & A’s are amazing. The Care Club got me motivated again and enthusiastic. Give it a go. You’ve only got one life. If you want to make the most out of the time with your loved one. This is an excellent way to do that.”

“Once I started looking at everything available to me, it was like a lightbulb went on. The information was realistic and heart-felt. It’s given me more direction in how to help my mom and no when I’m with her we can do fun stuff. The program helped me make a decision to change the way I approach my time with my mom. It’s improved the quality of the time I have with her. The program was able to answer questions I had tha hadn’t been properly answered before by others. I looked at the content and was pleased it was so diverse and offered so many topics and issues. I learned so much.”

Thank you for giving me the gift of understanding and empathy so that our relationship is so good and fun.

I went from a near basket case to enjoying every day with my husband with Alzheimer’s (we guess). My behavior and his behavior have changed for the better – there are still rough patches but they are shorter and navigable. Every day I am grateful and we have real joy!

It’s not what we planned but the journey has its own rewards. 

Thank you! What we learn and practice in your care course works!

“The thought of being a caregiver without the support of Careblazers was a frightening thought. Without you guys I would be in a deep, dark place. In the past 10 years I’ve had a lot of painful experiences and they seemed to be piling up on me. My wife’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s in 2019 was the worst. Plans I had for retirement floated away. Careblazers has given me something to live for. I don’t have to be a caregiver. I get to be a caregiver. The tools and gifts that I excelled at in the workplace are now being used daily in a way I never dreamed of. The result is I am becoming a better care giver and I am finding happiness in this.

Thank you Dr Natali and Careblazer team for all you are doing.”

“Thank you so much for all you do for all of us going through this caregiving journey- I am so grateful I found you! Dr Natali- I love so many of your examples and explanations but one I rely on all the time is “is it a necessity or a nicety”. That helps when I remember to think about it as do so many of your programs. Thanks again.”

As a caregiver, I have been following Dr. Natali for a number of years. I am glad to be part of the Care Course. I have already completed a few of the courses included in the Care Course when they were originally offered. My wife has been the recipient of better care because of what Dr. Natali has shared. I am looking forward to getting more tips to make me a better caregiver.

Dr. Natali, I think so often of my dark days and how every night I’d listen to your videos, I took your classes, then the interview. I’m once again experiencing happiness, I have joy, I have peace. I’ll always hold the name Dr. Natali as one so very special.

“Thank you so much for offering this fabulous Careblazers course. Everytime when I watch one or more of your videos, I am just in Ahh, because it is usually exactly what I needed to hear. Sometimes it is a reminder and other times it maybe a different way of thinking.

At my first Q&A session earlier this month, the suggestion to my question was very helpful. It had to do on how to handle situations where my husband becomes very agitated. The suggestion was, if he was in a safe place, to excuse myself for a few minutes. It worked very well, as his mood changed and I was able to support him by offering help.

This course makes my Caregiving journey so much easier.

Frankly, I am astounded at what you’ve created to support us. I’m a retired psychologist who worked for years with PTSD and dissociative disorders and took training all the time. I’ve never experienced such an array of resources–the Care Course, the Q & A sessions, the support groups, utilizing the power of the online platforms. And despite what must be thousands of CareBlazers whom your team and you care for, nothing I’ve seen so far lacks the kindness, compassion, and supportiveness that characterizes your presence.

Thank you for being there.

All in all, your program is the best money I’ve ever spent on psychological and medical trainings, and I’ve spent some really good money in that world! Thanks for giving me hope for the future.

I just want to say how very grateful I am for you! You have saved me, educated me, provided me a baseline to surviving and thriving.

I listen to you daily and YOU provide me great comfort. Human nature for me is to self blame and feel guilt and I am working very hard to provide the best care I can to her and live my other lives as mother, wife, daughter, aunt, business owner…..and on and on as best I can.

just want you to know how much you mean to me.

Thanks so so greatly!

 Dr. Natali’s Dementia Careblazers course was a real game changer for me. The youtube videos are an excellent resource but signing up really helped me break through the super difficult aspects of being on this journey. Learning to cope with the everyday challenges has made me a calmer and more effective caregiver. It’s still hard work; it’s just easier when you are better prepared. She has been a true inspiration.

“Surprisingly, I find myself doing what you are teaching in automatic mode and saying to myself, “Hey! I am doing what Dr. Natali has taught me.” Thanks so much! I am 85 and my loved one with dementia is 92. I wish I had applied these lessons eons ago.”

Patrick

Care Collective Member

Natali thank you so much. Already I have learned and applied techniques to change my thinking and therefore change how I think. I was on this track before I found this course but didn’t have the tools to know how to apply it. I can’t believe how much information is available through this course and all your videos. I am so pleased that I made the decision to spend the money and sign up. That was the smartest thing I could have done.
