My Therapeutic Clown Services
I am currently offering professional therapeutic clowning services to organizations and health care centres in Toronto and the GTA. I am experienced working with people across the age, illness and disability spectrum including:
- adults and elders living with Dementia
- elders with other age-related illnesses and conditions (stroke, Parkinson’s, MS, Cancer, general frailty etc.)
- adults coping with short-term and long-term trauma and/or illness
- children and adults with special needs and multiple disabilities
- children suffering from trauma
- children coping with illness
- children and adults with brain injury
