For retirement villages
Your residents' life stories, captured in a beautiful book
A warm, no-fuss way for the people in your village to record their life stories and keep them in a hardcover book. They can do it themselves, or I can come in and help.
Every person in your village has a lifetime of stories worth keeping. The places they have lived, the work they were proud of, the people they have loved, the small ordinary moments that make up a life. Aumoria helps them put those stories into words and turn them into a hardcover book their family will treasure for generations.
It is a lovely thing to offer the people in your care. A gentle, meaningful activity, something to look forward to, and a keepsake that means the world to families. There is no hassle for you, and residents take it up only if they would like to.

Why villages love it
Lovely for residents, easy for you
Meaningful for residents
A warm activity to look forward to, and a chance to be heard and remembered.
A gift for families
Something families treasure, and a reason to feel good about your village.
No hassle for you
I handle everything. All I need is a quiet corner and a friendly introduction.
What it costs
Clear and agreed, before anything begins
The Legacy Book starts from $149 for residents who would like to record their own stories and use our guides. That covers the editing and the finished hardcover book.
For those who would like me to visit and help in person, the visit and photo scanning are tailored to each person, depending on how much help they would like. There is never any cost to the village.
Whatever someone chooses, we always talk it through and agree everything up front. No surprises, and no obligation.
Questions you might have
Not at all. Residents who are comfortable can record their own stories on a phone with our simple guides. For anyone who would rather not, I come in and do it all for them, so there is nothing technical to manage.
As much or as little as they like. There is no schedule and no deadline. Some share a few stories over an afternoon, others return to it gently over weeks. It is always at their pace.
Very little. Just a warm introduction to residents who might be interested, and a quiet, comfortable corner if I am visiting in person. I bring everything else.
No. Residents or their families arrange the book directly with me. There is no charge to the village, and no admin for your team.
A premium hardcover, printed on thick photo-quality paper, with their stories and photos laid out beautifully. It is made to be kept and passed down through the family.
Let's talk
I would love to tell you more
If this feels like something the people in your village would enjoy, let's have a friendly chat. No pressure, no pitch. Just a conversation about what it could look like for your residents.
