For over a decade, Mandy has been working with kids who are having a tricky time with learning or behaviour; she is passionate about kids' mental health. She loves playing in the sensory gym, having fun with kids in our indoor swing, and helping people learn self-regulation skills using cool biofeedback technology like HeartMath. She also uses Interactive Metronome, which helps with auditory processing, the ability to make sense of and store information that comes in your ears (i.e. learning!).
Mandy started her career path 40 years ago, teaching people about their bodies, movement, and wellness. Having lived coast to coast in Canada, she has always worked in the health and wellness field and has been a certified fitness instructor/personal trainer for almost 20 years. Mandy has a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education/Kinesiology from McMaster University and is currently completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University in New Brunswick. She holds the designation of Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and is a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
