WELCOME TO JUST THIS MOMENT

I’m Dr. Mary Norman

I am a physician specializing in geriatrics and founder of Just This Moment. 

With over twenty years of experience in geriatric medicine, I have partnered with dementia caregivers and family members to develop plans to care optimally for their loved ones, while also learning to take care of themselves.

With a greater understanding of dementia and mindfulness techniques, caregivers are transformed and can experience joy and peace with their loved ones.

  • What an eye and heart-opener!

    What an eye and heart-opener! I learned to breathe (really!) and understand my feelings and reactions and how to become more aware. It’s a journey, but Dr. Mary introduced so many different options that I was able to find ones that work best for me.

Caregiving with Gratitude

As a physician, we often face the added self-inflicted responsibility to “fix” or “treat” or “manage” the medical conditions our loved ones will face. Each of us comes from a unique point of view – here is my daughter-wife-sister-physician story.
