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
• families in crisis

My therapeutic clown services have been used to great benefit in a number of health care and community settings since 2001. I am typically engaged on a long term and regular basis  (weekly or bi-weekly), with the longest running engagement lasting for 10 years. I typically work in duo with a therapeutic clown partner I have vetted and/or trained. Centres I have served or that I am currently serving include:
