DEMENTIA CARE & BRAIN HEALTH COACHING
Practical guidance for caregivers and individuals concerned about cognitive health.
Olga Weeks, MSN, Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C), MS, BSN, BS. Author, Happy Weeks Dementia Care
- Happy Weeks is a brain wellness and dementia care coaching service created by Olga Weeks, a Family Nurse Practitioner with a background in neurology.
- The service provides practical guidance and support beyond the clinic visit for caregivers of people living with dementia, as well as brain-health coaching for individuals concerned about their own cognitive health. Services are educational and supportive in nature, and are designed to complement—not replace—medical care.
- Happy Weeks was created after years of working in healthcare, where limited appointment time often left caregivers with unanswered questions and little practical guidance. Olga chose to dedicate her work to supporting caregivers and individuals who want clear information, thoughtful guidance, and help navigating next steps.
WHAT WE OFFER
E-MAIL CONSULTATIONS
Scroll down for session options, pricing, and booking details.
- Thoughtful, written guidance—when you have a specific question and prefer not to schedule a live session.
- Sometimes you have one important question—about your own brain health, memory concerns, dementia risk, or how to care for a loved one with cognitive impairment—and you don’t need (or have time for) a full conversation. Email consultations offer a way to receive clear, well-considered guidance in writing, at your own pace.
This option is available for both:
- Caregivers of people living with dementia
- Individuals concerned about their own cognitive health or brain wellness
How email consultations work
- Email consultations are designed for focused, topic-based questions.
- You submit a clearly defined concern, and receive a thoughtful, structured response—not a one-line answer.
Each response may include:
- Context and education related to your question
- Practical guidance and considerations
- Suggestions for next steps
- When appropriate, ideas for questions to discuss with your healthcare provider
Responses are written to be clear, supportive, and comprehensive, while staying within the scope of coaching and education.
Consultation options
1. Single Question email coaching support.
- This option is best for one clearly defined concern.
- One detailed, structured written respons
- Response typically provided within 2–3 business days
- Includes education, practical guidance, and suggested next steps
- Does not include ongoing follow-up or continued correspondence
2. Time-limited email coaching support
A short, structured exchange over a defined time period for clarification or follow-up, when a question is more complex.
For questions that may require brief clarification or follow-up.
- A short exchange over 3–5 business days
- Up to 4 emails total per day, combined from both sides
- Responses provided during business hours
- Focused, topic-specific guidance rather than open-ended discussion
This option allows for clarification while maintaining clear boundaries and response times.
Email consultations are not open-ended and do not include ongoing correspondence unless arranged in advance.
What to expect
- Responses are typically provided within business hours
- Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the question
- If a concern would be better addressed in a live conversation, this will be discussed and you may be guided toward a virtual session
Many people choose to start with an email consultation and later decide whether a virtual session would be helpful.
Important note
Email consultations are educational and supportive in nature. They are designed to complement—not replace—medical care and do not include diagnosis or treatment of medical conditions.
