One of the BEST parts of my job- the people I meet and get to know that little bit more week after week, month after month.

Everyone has a story. Everyone has their own experience of life, love, ambitions, and dreams. And call me nosey but I love learning all about them!

When I told friends and family that I was thinking of starting singing & movement sessions for people in care settings and people living with dementia, they said “Oh you’ll get too emotionally attached to them” (it’s almost like they know me really well 😅). It turns out they were right, I do get attached and I tell anyone who will listen about my sessions and the amazing characters and personalities I meet. And I wouldn’t have it any other way 😌🫶🏼

In amongst the craziness of running a small business and everything that it entails, every now and then I find myself pausing to think, “I still can’t believe that this is what I do for a ‘job’”. How lucky am I to share so many moments of happiness with these incredible people every day- I never take it for granted ✨🫶🏼

Oh hi, welcome to my page! 👋🏼 I’m Suzy, founder of Melodies & Memories, and I deliver interactive singing & movement sessions for residents in care & residential homes, and adults with additional needs 🎶

If you’re looking for something a little bit different for your residents, I’m your gal! My sessions include group singalongs, chair-based exercises, reminiscence activities and trivia- so not just your average singing session 😊

I incorporate many props such as scarves, ribbons, instruments, and pom poms to help encourage movement, rhythm, and emotional expression through music 🪇

I’m a dementia friend, and hold insurance and a DBS.

My nanna was in a care home for many years and lived with vascular dementia, so I come with oodles of empathy, patience, kindness, and respect for each and every person I have the pleasure of singing and dancing with 🫶🏼 It also means I feel strangely at home in a care home! 🥰

If you’d like to find out more, pop me a message to [email protected] or 07947139893 I’d love to deliver a session in your care setting 😌

Suzy

MUSIC OF COURSE!🎶 I don’t know about you but having grown up in a house where music was played near enough every day, I can’t go a day without listening to it! And that’s not me being overdramatic, if you lived with me you’d find out for yourself 🤣

Did you know that singing along to music helps to reduce anxiety and depression, helps to express feelings and emotions, and enhances your quality of life?

So when you’re next cleaning the house, driving in the car, waking up in a morning ready for the day ahead, put some music on and sing along at the top of your lungs- I guarantee you it will bring some joy to your day and make you feel that little bit lighter 😌

Some Montenegro moments…. The view of beautiful Budva Old Town from our pool 😍

Patiently waiting for pasta 🍝

Kotor at sunset 🌄

The food at Citadela Budva was unreal 🤤 Stunning place and amazing service too- 10/10 👌🏼

Sleepy puss 😻

Café Mozart where they also sell paintings from local artists 🎨

Up, up, and away in the Kotor Cable Cars- absolutely stunning views but not for the faint hearted…. Had heart palpitations going up 😅

The Budva Ballerina 🩰

Sea sparkles ✨

An absolute mountain of mussels- tried my best but couldn’t finish them 🐷

Pretty little pit stop for a drink in the 36 degree heat 🥵

The Alpine Coaster at the top of the Kotor Cable Cars- amazing and terrifying in equal measure 😆

Beautiful Perast- the prettiest village 😍

On top of the world in Kotor- look somewhat relaxed, was clinging on for dear life 🤣

Budva at night 🌌

Always trying to befriend a cat 🐈‍⬛ They love cats in Montenegro and look after the street cats so well. This cutie is called Kiki 🥰

Kotor Old Town- I preferred Budva Old Town but it’s still definitely worth a visit ⛪️

Wearing my new dress from PRETTYPARADE BOUTIQUE | Independent Womenwear Boutique Gorgeous holiday dress, I love it 🫶🏼

Peaceful Perast- perfect if you want to escape the busier tourist hubs of Kotor and Budva. So calming and tranquil 🧘🏻‍♀️

Citadela Budva at dusk. We loved this place so much that we booked it again for our last night. The perfect end to the holiday 💫

Never thought this would be what I do for a living…. But I’m so glad it is!

When I was little and someone asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up, I used to say “perform on Broadway”. I didn’t quite get there, and I still have trauma from the disaster that was my Shakespeare monologue during my RADA audition (when I say the word ‘horrendous’ though 🫠).

I was lucky enough to do some professional singing for a few years and then qualify as a dance teacher. Little did I know that that would all lead me to shaking maracas in my own singing & movement sessions in care settings for the elderly, people living with dementia, and adults with additional learning.

Life doesn’t always turn out the way you thought it would, sometimes what you’re meant to do finds you without you looking for it 💫
