Who are our clients 

We offer support to anyone that would like support by a recreational therapist from childhood to seniors. But the typical client has a limitation to leisure participation such as seniors or individuals that have a chronic illness, a neurological disorder, a developmental disorder, a mental illness. Or are recovering from traumatic injury such as brain injury, stroke, or an amputation. 

We specialize in dementia at all stages and  provide sessions which are specifically designed for a client and their needs and abilities. 

Recreational therapy is a specialised field that uses recreational activities to enhance individuals' physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well-being. Recreational therapists work closely with individuals, their families, and healthcare providers to create personalised treatment plans. They cater to diverse populations facing various challenges, from children to seniors.

The main goal of recreational therapists is to engage individuals in meaningful and enjoyable activities that yield positive outcomes. This can include sports, arts and crafts, music, dance, outdoor adventures, and more. Activities are carefully selected and adapted to suit individual abilities and therapeutic goals.

We offer a safe and inclusive environment for individuals to explore their interests and discover the transformative power of recreation. Through our services, individuals can overcome challenges, thrive, and lead fulfilling lives
