MY JOURNEY
My journey into recreational therapy was profoundly shaped by my mother’s experience with dementia. Witnessing her challenges opened my eyes to the incredible impact that compassionate care and connection can have on individuals and their families. The bonds we formed with her caregivers highlighted the importance of support, understanding, and shared experiences. This inspired me to dedicate my practice to helping others navigate similar journeys, offering a space where individuals can find joy and purpose even in difficult times.
