Dementia Carer Support Caring for someone with dementia can be rewarding, exhausting, heartbreaking and isolating—often all in the same day. I provide individual and group support to help carers protect their wellbeing, build resilience, and feel less alone on the dementia journey.

Meet Gill
Many people in New Plymouth know me from my years as the owner of Curves New Plymouth, where I had the privilege of supporting hundreds of women to improve their health, build confidence, and discover that lasting change comes from small, consistent steps rather than perfection.
What I loved most wasn't the exercise itself—it was seeing people realise they were capable of more than they thought. Whether they wanted more energy, better health, or simply to feel like themselves again, I loved being part of their journey.
Over the years, my passion for helping people has led me to become a Health Coach, Personal Trainer, Functional Ageing Specialist, and Community Educator with Alzheimer's Taranaki. Through this work, and through my own family's experience of dementia, I've seen how easy it is for people to put everyone else's needs before their own.
Today, I focus on supporting people in two areas that matter deeply to me: helping people create sustainable lifestyle changes, and helping dementia carers care for themselves while caring for someone they love.
I don't believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. I believe in listening, understanding your unique situation, and helping you find realistic ways to move forward. My role isn't to tell you what to do—it's to walk alongside you, offering support, encouragement, and practical tools to help you build a healthier, more fulfilling life.
I'd love to help you take the next step.

"Thank you Gill, my personal trainer, for your positive input and for helping me keep on track and reassess my habits. You have been so amazing, so encouraging and always have something positive to say."
Pania, New Plymouth, NZ
"The 20 week challenge strengthened my new found love of exercise…I discovered that I have the power to change myself in mind, body & spirit as long as I believe in myself. I think I can finally say I am starting to believe. I have an inner peace when I am pursuing a new adventure, activity or exercise… it’s a neat feeling! Thank you Gill for your coaching, support and encouragement."
Angie, New Plymouth, NZ
"I decided to see Gill because my life was a mess — I felt confused, angry, and tearful. I knew I needed to make some changes. After just a couple of months of coaching, I’ve managed to rationalise my life. I’ve realised I can put things on hold; I don’t have to do everything right there and then. I’ve learned to control my compulsion to ‘do it now,’ and instead I prioritise my holistic wellbeing.
The most valuable shift for me is that I now feel value in myself, even if I’m not earning an income. I no longer put myself down.
If you choose to work with Gill, you’ll get out of it what you put in — and if you’re willing to give 100%, that’s exactly what you’ll get back."
