Testimonials
Saskia Van Herzeele – Psychologist
"This method is an immersion in an attitude we all enjoy, but one we too often forget in our every day life. To look at all the good things, to explore and validate the qualities of others, to connect with care and positivity. Music is about timing, creating in the moment. Communicating from your innermost feelings and reflect this attitude onto our care for the people around us, with or without dementia. With all their peculiarities. It is an idealism, but after a day like this I believe it to be possible again. "
Dominique Vergote -Teacher
A fun and inspiring method whilst showing a lot of respect towards the residents and caregivers. We were introduced to the process on how to create an innovation and how easy it is to apply this on people with dementia. Hanne is very enthusiastic and continually sees new possibilities and opportunities. She motivates you to take on a challenge with which you can start right away.

The combination of the use of music and change in attitude that is achieved in this approach is very impressive!
