Fees: My rate ranges from $75 – $90 +HST per hour (travel to and from client is included, travel during sessions for outings is billed). Most sessions are 1.5 – 2 hours in duration. If appropriate, I may provide a complimentary 15-minute phone chat followed by a 30-minute in-person initial meeting at no cost, to ensure I am a good fit for your loved one, and vice versa.
Are you or your loved one:
- Lonely, bored, or experiencing a decline in health and well-being?
- Facing challenges brought on by dementia/Alzheimer’s?
- Recovering from a stroke, amputation, brain or spinal cord injury, or loss of function?
- Experiencing a significant mental health challenge?
I’m here to help. As a Recreation Therapist, I help people with potentially limiting conditions like these (and many others) make the most of their lives – physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. Recreation Therapy at Life in Full can help with your or your loved one by improving fine and gross motor skills, physical functioning, social effectiveness, self-efficacy, memory, community integration, self-awareness, emotional regulation, mood, coordination and more.

Together we then establish tailored goals and a schedule of sessions.
Goals vary from person to person, but the bottom line? To have fun! And enjoy a fulsome, meaningful life while moving past any barriers or obstacles.
