“Dr. Huysman’s knowledge on caregiving is as wonderful as it gets in national experts who speak on the subject across the country. He is a tremendous speaker who truly understands how to communicate with a caregiver audience.  His session is motivating, personal and moving. A warm and touching communicator, he leaves it all on the stage at each event and then continues to always answer each of the many caregivers who came up to him after his session for personal questions and comments.”

If you are looking for a speaker who is expert in his topic, immediately connects to any audience, who is entertaining and infectious in his message to caregivers and their loved ones, Dr. Huysman will exceed your expectations.”

“Jamie was a founding father of the The Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation and we met when it was just getting off of the ground. I watched the growth and was amazed at how quickly the concepts were put into action giving caregivers of family members with dementia a whole new outlet for support and education. On several occasions I was in the audience for his presentations which always were well received. As Chair of the Alzheimer’s Association Caregiver Wellness Day in Los Angeles, we were very pleased to have him as our keynote speaker in 2008. I am looking forward to working with him in whatever future endeavor his chooses.”

“Dr. Jamie is one of the most engaging, entertaining and motivational speakers you would ever want to hear. But even more importantly – his message is educational and enlightening to the people who hear it. As a Geriatric Care Manager, I work with caregivers both family and professional – and know that they need to be nurtured, supported and educated about how to be better caregivers to their loved ones or patients and at the same time take better care of themselves. This is only one area that Dr. Jamie can address, as he has a very extensive and varied background and career. I can say that having him as a speaker or presenter at your event will prove to be an experience of a lifetime and one not soon forgotten.”
