We have changed location!!!
With being a Military Spouse, postings are a part of life. I started this as a way to stay in the Recreation Therapy field and do what I love with all supporting my family through any of life's adventures no matter where they send us.
Inspire Recreation Therapy is happy to now call East Hants, NS home. Services will be starting soon. I need to complete a placement for my Fitness and Health Promotion diploma which will take time away from Inspire Recreation Therapy but once that is complete, services will start to be offered in the community.

If you would like to chat about services, please reach out, and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Are you feeling burnt-out, overwhelmed, or new to the area and looking to make connections. This Leisure Awareness/Education program may be for you.
I am looking at doing a trial run of a virtual Leisure Awareness group with anyone who is interested.

Sorry for being quiet. I have had a lot of personal life events that have happened in the last few months that have required me to put my Recreation Therapy on hold.

My brain has been circling with a new approach for the upcoming months to help individuals virtually and in a group setting. At the present time, I am not able to provide 1:1 services.

June is the month to celebrate Recreation.
I challenge you to take the time to try something new this month, start a new hobby, or take time to focus on you (get back into an old activity, build on your skills in a current activity and more).

If you or a loved one are struggling or need help reaching your goals or finding new activities, reach out to Inspire Recreation Therapy for help.

The water can do wonderful things for your body and mind.

Inspire Recreation Therapy offers adaptive aquatic programs and aquatic therapy sessions for individuals who want to experience the benefits of the water.

Do you know someone who loves the water, but community swims are too loud, classes are too busy for them, or you want someone with specialized training.

If you are someone who is looking for help with your recovery from an injury, the water can help with your recovery.

Reach out if you are interested or have any questions.

Recreation therapy is so much more than planned programs, having fun, laughing and smiling

We help others and ourselves find our true selves. Recreation Therapy helps you overcome your fears, challenge yourself, step out of your comfort zone, and bring joy to your every day.

When there is something standing in your way, just remember it is not going to stop you but challenge you.

This is how I design and approach all of the individuals I work with. My programs and services empower each individual to be who they are and to be as independent as they possibly can be. A disability does not define who we are and what we are able to do.

Benefits of Recreation Therapy:
• Promoting leisure independence and optimal leisure lifestyle
